Click on llink for Membership Benefits provided in association with HMCA

Specialist benefits provider to trade and professional associations, HMCA, is now allowing members of other private health schemes to switch to their plan without a medical history or examination.

HMCA, which provides private medical cover to members ranging from the FSB to the Association of Professional Ambulance Personnel, has discovered that it can sometimes give savings of up to 50% on the member's current premiums.

As a further bonus members switching to the HMCA plan will also qualify for a £50 cash-back bonus after 12 months of membership, creating a ‘win-win' situation for everyone involved.

The secret of the lower premiums available from HMCA is due to the fact that the organisation is a specialist provider and only covers members from trade and professional bodies, unlike other organisations that offer their plans to the general public.

One of the benefits of cover with HMCA is that members can arrange hospital treatment at a time which suits their personal and business commitments, thereby avoiding any major disruptions. HMCA medical plans cover the UK, overseas business trips, holidays and even sporting activities, making the cover one of the best available.

A further big plus for HMCA members is that unmarried children living at home or in full-time education up to the age of 24 can also now be included within the plan.

As an HMCA executive explains: "Switching to HMCA could not be simpler; all that is required is the completion of a brief application form. No sales people are involved and the company even offers a no quibbles' 30 day money back guarantee in the unlikely event that the member changes his mind."

The full range of membership benefit plans are available to the members of the Association of Professional Ambulance Personnel, please ask for further details. Plans include private medical, breakdown recovery, term life, cash plans, dental, income protection, medical travel and a full range of helplines.

The APAP Credit Card: This credit card has no annual free, very low interest rates and provides a valuable source of revenue to the Union, allowing us to keep subscriptions low.
