Birmingham Chamber of Commerce is working with AXA PPP healthcare to offer all Chamber members access to affordable private medical insurance.
In today’s competitive work environment running a successful business is greatly dependent on a healthy and motivated team. Time off work due to sickness can be costly with not only direct financial implications to account for, but also the team morale and performance may suffer.
Free services
As a Chamber member, you have access to both of these valuable services as part of your existing Chamber membership:
- Health at Hand, available to you and your employees, is AXA PPP healthcare’s telephone based health information service, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This service is staffed by nurses, midwives, pharmacists and counsellors, offering peace of mind for your team and their families.
- Personal Business Assistance which enables you, the company’s key decision maker to stay in touch with your customers, prospective clients and suppliers if you’re in hospital or confined to a bed due to ill health.
To activate your FREE services, go online to www.axappphealthcare.co.uk/chambers
Healthcare package
AXA PPP healthcare has designed a unique package especially for Chamber members. The Chamber Business Choice Healthcare package could help to reduce sickness absence, retain best people and recruit the right candidates. Within this package Chamber members get access to:
a choice of either:
- 20% cashback for one year on the groups net premium or

- free access to the telephone Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) for all employees (whether or not they are covered on the policy)
- a wide range of options to suit budget
- an extensive list of quality assured hospitals
