LocumPlan

Locum insurance provider, LocumPlan, helps to protect practices and professionals from costly locum fees. LocumPlan will pay for a locum in the unfortunate event of an insured person needing to take time off work due to illness or accident.

Locum insurance from LocumPlan we feel is a low-cost solution to a significant risk that could impact you and your practice.

If you, one of your partners or a key employee were unable to work due to accident or sickness, the financial consequences for your practice would be serious.

LocumPlan exists to take away the pain if this should happen – we offer the cover you need, for much less than you’d think.

How does LocumPlan work?

Should an insured person be unable to work, you can make a claim. When the claim is validated, we pay either the sum insured or the cost of a locum (whichever is lower).

Who is LocumPlan for?

LocumPlan has been designed for GPs, dentists, vets, opticians and others in similar occupations together with their senior practice staff.

Non-medical personnel employed by the practice can also be included in the scheme – to a maximum of 75% of their gross weekly wage – unless the cost of a temporary replacement would be funded other than by the practice (e.g. by the Primary Care Trust).

Reducing your practice tax bill

Your LocumPlan insurance premiums are allowable against tax. We’ve designed our cover to ensure the most favourable tax treatment – and we think this is just as important as comprehensive benefits and competitive premiums.
