Benenden Health
Welcome to Benenden Health. We’re a mutual society and have been since we were founded in 1905. That means we’re always here for our 800,000 members and not for profit. Our focus is on offering high quality, private healthcare at the same affordable cost for everyone regardless of age or pre-existing medical conditions.
At Benenden Health our members can relax knowing they can talk to a professional about a health concern 24/7 with our GP and Mental Health Helplines, plus access to services such as physiotherapy, medical diagnostics and more.
With a membership of over 800,000 people across the UK, we’re proud to be awarded as the Four Times Winner for the Best Healthcare Service by Moneyfacts, 2019-2022, as well as being named the Best Private Medical Insurance Provider 2022.
Benenden Health was founded in 1905 to provide treatment for postal workers suffering from Tuberculosis. Over the past 117 years, we’ve supported our members through many crises, and we’re helping to support people now. Member contributions have always been used to support the health and wellbeing of our members. That hasn’t and won’t change now, or in the future.
As a not-for-profit mutual society, we’re proud to be part of a community that cares deeply for people’s health and strives to support our members every day. We all deserve access to great quality, affordable healthcare. After all, our health and wellbeing is never simple, but caring for it should be.
