COMPREHENSIVE LOCUM INSURANCE COVER PLAN

AVAILABLE FROM LUCAS FETTES

Leading insurance and financial specialist Lucas Fettes is offering a specialist Locum cover plan for Doctors and Dentists that aims to meet today’s growing need for flexible employment cover.

The Complete Locum Plan has been designed to provide the most comprehensive protection and offers the ability to add key staff such as those in nursing or administration.

The cost of the plan is extremely competitive and flexible with premiums able to be paid annually or monthly, according to Lucas Fettes’ Financial Planning Consultant Gavin Tansey.

He added: “We have fully researched the market, comparing cover from rival providers to make sure all customer requirements are taken care of,” he explained.

The Complete Locum Plan features:

  • Individual or Group options

  • Maximum age at entry of 69 years

  • Two, three or five year guaranteed premium options

  • Deferred period options

  • No maximum benefit level

  • No discrimination against age, sex or smoker status

  • All staff members can be insured under one scheme

  • No restrictions on linked claims periods

In addition the plan also provides immediate cover for anxiety, stress and or depression, jury service cover, maternity benefit and also compassionate leave. There’s also parental and adoption leave benefit, no automatic exclusions on any pre-existing conditions, needle-stick and blood transfusion cover, as well as worldwide cover and protection against all sports including winter sports.

Gavin added: “The policy is very flexible. For example payment of benefit can be made to a practice even if a Locum cannot be sourced, but where the workload is shared between existing members of staff.”

Today, the Lucas Fettes Group commands an annual insurance broking income of around £45m and has funds under management in excess of £250m. Clients range from the motorist to the flying enthusiast, from the corner shop trader to the Internet entrepreneur, from small and medium-sized companies to large professional practices and multi-national organisations. Almost 200 staff are employed from strategically located offices spanning Berkhamsted, Bristol , Isle of Wight and Norwich as well as Chichester and Manchester , complementing London headquarters.

Gavin concluded: “This scheme meets the changing market needs of GP and dental practices, in particular the cost and difficulties involved to employ Locums. With a trading pedigree that dates back more than 25 years Lucas Fettes is able to offer a fully comprehensive and flexible range of cover options, catering for the widest range of circumstances and practice eventualities.”
