Master Trust
Accessible healthcare solutions for SMEs
A Master Trust allows multiple employers to join a shared healthcare trust scheme, providing access to comprehensive healthcare benefits without the complexity of setting up an independent trust.
This enables SMEs to benefit from broader coverage than standard private medical insurance (PMI) while removing the administrative and financial burden of operating their own Trust Deed and Trust Board.
Master Trust benefits:
Access to a pre-designed, extensive benefits package
Covering both clinical treatments (e.g., physiotherapy, mental health support) and wellbeing initiatives (e.g., nutrition, sleep, weight management).
No need for an independent Trust Deed
Eliminates legal fees and administrative complexities, as the Master Trust operates under HCML’s Trust Deed.
Fast & easy access to care
Employees benefit from no GP referral requirements for mental health and MSK conditions and have access to a vast network of specialist consultants and practitioners.
HCML’s expert governance
Operates under the HCML Trust Board, ensuring efficient fund management and compliance.
Simplified administration & risk management
No underwriting or two-year moratorium required.
Data-driven strategy adjustments
HCML regularly analyses claims and risk factor.
IPT savings
