You may have had private medical insurance before, or your circumstances may have changed and you feel like the time is right to get some additional coverage. Our team of experts can help you.
It doesn’t matter if you haven’t had private medical insurance before, we are here to make it simple, and will help you identify the right levels of coverage and provider to meet your needs, at the best price available.
If you have recently left an existing private medical programme, and would like to continue to receive treatment, or keep a similar level of protection, the team can also facilitate that.
A typical policy will provide you with fast access to a private consultant, diagnostic tests and if required in/day patient treatment. Some policies will even cover you for private GP appointments and will book your consultation with a specialist for you.
When you have an illness, are in discomfort or even unable to work, your main priority is to be treated as soon as you can and receive the best treatment possible. We work closely with our clients to put the right policy in place so you have peace of mind that if the worst were to happen, you can just concentrate on getting better.

As an insurance intermediary, Mercer Limited, trading as Mercer Marsh Benefits' (MMB) role is to place insurance coverage for our clients. We are compensated in a variety of ways, including commissions and fees paid by insurance companies and fees paid by clients. MMB may receive compensation through one or a combination of the methods listed below:
Client Fees and Commission (Sometimes Commission is referred to as Brokerage)
Commissions: A commission is paid to MMB by the insurer as a percentage of the premium charged to the insured for the policy. The amount of commission may vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of insurance product sold and the insurer selected by the client. Commission rates can vary from transaction to transaction. Client Fees: Some clients may agree to pay MMB a fee for MMB services in lieu of, or in addition to, commissions paid by insurance companies.
We provide a range of consultancy services to clients and, normally we are paid in the form of a fee.
Insurer Consulting
MMB receives compensation from insurers for providing consulting, data analytics or other services. The services are designed to improve the product offerings available to our clients, assist insurers in identifying new opportunities, and enhance insurers' operational efficiency. The scope and nature of the services vary by insurer and by geography. MMB is compensated for these services through fees.
MMB may, from time to time, participate in insurance company promotional events or employee training and development provided by insurers. Sometimes, MMB is reimbursed by insurers for its costs related to promotional marketing.
In common with many financial organisations, we provide a range of services to a large number of clients. We also provide certain services to insurers. Situations may arise in which the interest of a client may conflict with those of another client or with our own interest.
Accordingly, we have policies and procedures in place to ensure that should such circumstances arise, they are managed appropriately.
In an effort to advance the interests of our clients, we constantly search for innovative offerings and solutions.
