Details on the new AXA voluntary private medical insurance scheme have been published on the Employee Hub.

This is a company scheme with payments taken direct from salary: this approach allows the University to secure discounted rates for members of staff who wish to take cover. Partner and family cover is also available.

The application window has now been extended to include January 2019, with the cover backdated to commencing on 1 January 2019. All the detail is available through the Employee Hub. Key points to be aware of include:

• All plans are based on Full Medical Underwriting (FMU). This means that medical history, including any pre-existing conditions, is declared in advance. FMU cover offers additional assurance in relation to future claims/cover
• Monthly premiums will be deducted direct from salary
• Cover will cease if an employee leaves the University
