Simplyhealth

Simplyhealth has been making healthcare accessible and affordable for people across the UK for over 150 years, operating as one of the country's longest-standing health plan providers. Founded in 1872, the company is headquartered in Andover, Hampshire, and operates on a mutual model, meaning it is owned by its members and customers rather than external shareholders.

The company specialises in everyday health plans that help individuals and employers cover the routine costs of dental, optical, and physiotherapy care. Unlike traditional health insurance, Simplyhealth's plans are designed around day-to-day health needs, providing cashback on treatments such as dental check-ups, eye tests, and specialist consultations. This positions the company firmly in the preventive and primary healthcare space rather than acute or secondary care.

Simplyhealth serves both the consumer market and businesses through corporate health plans, partnering with employers of all sizes to offer staff health benefits as part of workplace wellbeing programmes. This B2B offering has become an increasingly prominent part of its business as demand for employee health benefits has grown across UK industry.

The company divested its Denplan brand, the UK's leading dental payment plan provider, to Cigna in 2022, sharpening its focus on health plans and digital health access. Simplyhealth has since invested in expanding access to GP services and mental health support through its plans, reflecting a broader shift toward holistic everyday wellbeing.

As a mutual, Simplyhealth reinvests surpluses into improving member services and supporting health-related charitable causes through the Simplyhealth Foundation. It is not publicly listed on any stock exchange.
