Health and protection insurance usage surged 55% in 2022 - ABI - Health & Protection (https://lnkd.in/eJmZi8ff) Usage of health and protection insurance has risen and continues to rise since the pandemic. Some stats reported by the ABI have highlighted the following: Almost 1.8 million people accessed health services through health and protection insurance in 2022, up 10% from 2021, with each person accessing support five times on average. The total figure of 1.77 million people using insurance to get treatment was also up 55% from 2019. The ABI also emphasised the significant rise in the number of times people were using health services through their cover. This increase was from 3.5 times per person on average in 2021 to five times on average in 2022. Usage of remote GP services has also risen considerably. In 2022 there were nearly nine times more virtual GP appointments through insurance than in 2019 before the pandemic. For mental health counselling, insurers arranged 1.2 million mental health counselling and therapy appointments in 2022. Of that total 94% were accessed through a workplace scheme, with 192,000 of the 200,000 people who used the services using workplace insurance. These patterns of usage are mirroring trends within WPA’s business. Usage of plans overall has increased but people are making multiple claims a year on their plan whereas in the past it was not used this frequently.
