The Openwork Partnership is enhancing its protection proposition by launching a private medical insurance (PMI) referral service with specialist PMI broker Usay Compare.
Usay Compare will support advisers across The Openwork Partnership network, to help and protect more clients with the PMI cover that most closely matches their needs.
Usay Compare offers access to a range of PMI products from a panel of providers including Aviva, AXA PPP, Bupa, Freedom Health Insurance, Health Online, The Exeter, Vitality and WPA.
The Openwork Partnership said demand for PMI had grown strongly during the COVID-19 pandemic as people have looked for protection.
In December the network linked with Cura Financial Services, a broker which specialises in helping so-called high risk clients to access life, critical illness, and income protection.
Paul Shearman, proposition director, Mortgages & Protection at The Openwork Partnership, said: “The focus of The Openwork Partnership is to provide holistic advice to our clients, helping them through their financial life journey. That includes providing the support they need to cope with the challenges that life brings. The partnership with Usay Compare strengthens our proposition and will enable our advisers to deliver a broader PMI offering at a time when many clients are worried about their health and the challenges being faced by the NHS.”
