A new health insurance provider claims it is the first to offer lower premiums to non-smokers.
Healthcare 4 Life is the brainchild of a team of former OHRA UK employees, and is headed by Hazel Berrill who has worked in the personal medical insurance sector for ten years.
Berrill said Healthcare 4 Life was simply extending the concept of lower premiums for non-smokers, that has been commonplace in the life insurance sector for many years.
She said: “With the introduction of non-smoker discounts to this sector, we are acknowledging that healthier lifestyles lead to fewer claims.”
Berrill added that she believed discounts for non-smokers would become a standard feature within the PMI sector.
The company announced Healthcare 4 Life in advance of more detailed information on the product because of market speculation about Berrill's next move after she left OHRA in August.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
