Offduty - Health Cover

Are you a serving officer looking for first rate, affordable medical cover? Then look no further!

Off Duty has joined forces with West Midlands Police's Medical Scheme ("WMP"), to provide the exceptional value of "WMP" to all serving officers (and their families) across Great Britain.

The WMP Medical Scheme was initially set up for serving West Midlands Police Officers in 1979 and a short time later extended to continue through retirement. Over the years membership has been extended to partners and children up to 18 years of age, and also to civilian support staff and their families. Recently children over 18 years can become full members in their own right.

The scheme has now been extended to cover officers (and their families) throughout Great Britain, not just in West Midlands.

The main aim of the scheme remains the provision of healthcare, which is not readily available on the NHS. Private inpatient treatment can now be authorised just 2 days after receiving a completed claim form.

What is more important to you than your health and that of your family? No-one can guarantee good health, but in case you become ill, it is very important to know that the best possible medical attention will be available without delay. Regrettably while there is little doubt about the quality of NHS care, it is not available when you need it. Also you can find your pay reduced to half or nothing after 6 or 12 months, so early treatment can be essential.

Benefits of the medical scheme include:

  • Direct access to top specialists.
  • Access to the first class facilities available at Nuffield Hospitals throughout the UK.
  • Generous cover for out-patient treatment, including physio, chiropractic, and osteopathic treatment.
  • Generous cover for diagnostic tests.
  • Family cover includes all children.

The above is only a summary of the benefits provided by the WMP Medical Scheme.

How do I join, or find out more? If you are a member of a police force from England, Scotland or Wales (other than West Midlands Police) then you need to complete an Application Form and a Direct Debit Mandate Form. Contact WMP in the following ways (remember to mention Off Duty):- Phone: 0121 700 1110 Fax: 0121 700 1111 Email: info@wmpben.com Address: WMP, Guardians House 2111 Coventry Road Sheldon Birmingham B26 3EA
