Q: How do I request Enterprise renewal quotations?

Please email your renewal quote request to ebd@wpa.org.uk .

Question 1

How does my client pay their Shared Responsibility/Excess?

Accepted Answer

Once we have processed the invoice we will send your client a claim notification confirming the amount we have paid to the provider and the amount they will need to settle directly to them. We will include details of the invoice and contact details for the provider.

Question 2

Can my client send you a cash plan claim online?

Accepted Answer

Your client can make a cash plan claim online by signing in to their secure online account or by downloading the WPA Health app. In some cases your client may be prompted to download a claim form to send to us along with the original invoices or receipts that need to accompany the claim.

Question 3

Why does my client have to log into their account to get their emails?

Accepted Answer

At WPA we handle very sensitive personal information and we may need to communicate with your client via email which could include details of their medical problems. As such, we want to ensure that this information is transferred in the most secure way possible. Their online account provides an extra layer of protection.

Question 4

Why does the claim notification advise 'balance to be paid' when it has already been paid?

Accepted Answer

The claim notification will not take into account any payments your client has made to a provider, even if you have submitted a receipted invoice. The purpose of the notification is to provide your client with information on the invoice received, our payments and any shortfalls against the terms of their policy.

Question 5

Does my client meet your Switch terms?

Accepted Answer

Depending on their current underwriting your client may be eligible for WPA Switch Underwriting. Please view Your Underwriting Choices Explained for more information.

Question 6

What is Shared Responsibility?

Accepted Answer

Shared Responsibility is an innovative method of co-payment allowing your client to take control of the cost of their premium. Unlike a traditional excess, 75% of each claim for eligible treatment is paid no matter how small. Your client shares the cost of their treatment by contributing 25% towards every claim for eligible treatment. Their contribution is also 'capped' at an agreed level for their policy year. Please see our Shared Responsibility page for more information.
