Simplyhealth wins Cover Excellence Award

Simplyhealth has claimed a prestigious industry accolade at the annual Cover Excellence Awards, which are voted for by intermediaries.

The dental and health insurer won the best cash plan provider prize at the London ceremony, bettering its performance from 2011, in which it received a commendation in this category.

This win comes after a year in which the company expanded its dental plan offering through the acquisition of Denplan, while it also introduced a PMI excess option on its corporate cash plan.

Additionally, Simplyhealth now offers a cash plan specially designed for smaller businesses, which is indicative of its commitment to improving its offering for intermediaries, clients and customers.

Howard Hughes, spokesperson for Simplyhealth, said: "It's great to see that our products continue to be a valued way of helping people with their health."

Earlier this year, the company was ranked as one of the top 100 social media brands in the country, following a vote by a panel of industry experts.
