WPA is a not-for-profit health insurer synonymous within the industry as being a high quality trusted provider with a heritage dating back to 1901. WPA Protocol Plc is a 100% owned subsidiary which specialises in bespoke healthcare solutions for large companies that self-insure through a Corporate Healthcare Trust.
We recognise that each and every customer will face their own challenges when it comes to their private medical scheme. These challenges mean that a 'one size fits all' benefit schedule and administration service is not going to be right for everyone. This is why we choose to offer complete flexibility, helping you to build from the ground up a scheme solution which meets your needs.
Your employees are important to your business and a healthcare scheme is a cost effective way to look after them.

Our bespoke healthcare solutions for large companies offer a variety of funding options to suit your requirements.
A Corporate Healthcare Trust (CHT) is a cost-effective way for large companies (typically 500+ employees) to provide private medical benefits to its members. It's a funding vehicle that's approved by HMRC and it typically works out around 10% less expensive than the equivalent insured arrangement.
Companies covering over 500 employees on a healthcare scheme typically see claims spend as largely predictable year on year and as such, traditional insurance schemes where the entire claims spend is insured may not be the optimum solution.
Many companies choose to set up a Corporate Healthcare Trust arrangement whereby a specialist administration company charges a fee to act on the company's behalf, including running the customer helpdesk, authorisation of claims, processing of invoices and dedicated account management support.
