Our Healthcare Cash Plan provides you with help towards the cost of everyday health care expenses. Benefits covered include dental, optical, physiotherapy and a health & wellbeing benefit that covers a vast range of complementary therapies.

Here’s what you need to know about your health cash plan, provided by Medicash:

• Cision provides you with Level 1 cover from the start date of your employment.
• You are not eligible for the Cision covered benefits if you are covered by Cision’s PMI policy. However, you may elect to purchase cover if you wish.
• You have the option to add your partner and/or upgrade your level of cover at your own cost. Premiums will be deducted from your monthly salary.
• Up to four children under the age of 24 can be added to the plan for free. Covered children share an annual limit between them.
• Dependents can be added but only as a new joiner or during the annual enrolment window, and they must be on the same level of cover as the employee.
• Please be aware that once you have selected this benefit you will not be able to make any change until the next annual enrolment window.
• As this is a benefit in kind, you will be taxed on the premium the Company pays towards your cover, which is taken at source through your monthly payment.
• Benefits cease when you are no longer an eligible member of the scheme and/or when you cease to be an employee of Cision.

What action do I need to take?

If you do not select this benefit in your new joiner selection window you will not have an opportunity to do this again until the next annual enrolment.

Important: your dependents are not covered until you add them to the plan in Zest.

Maximum Amounts Medicash Will Pay

Here are the maximum amounts that Medicash will pay if you receive any of the listed cash plan benefits. The amount that Medicash pay will never exceed the charges that you have paid.

Nothing in life is guaranteed and Life Assurance makes sure that you are prepared for anything unexpected in life.

In the unfortunate event you pass away while working for Cision, your chosen beneficiary will receive a one off, tax-free, lump sum payment of four times your annual basic salary (up to the age of 75). The cost of the benefit is paid by Cision and there are no Income Tax or National Insurance liabilities and/or issues.

The standard life assurance provided by Cision is in amount of 4 times your annual salary.

You may choose to purchase a higher level of cover, in exchange for a reduction in salary (salary sacrifice). This means that your gross salary reduces in return for a benefit.

As you automatically receive this benefit upon joining Cision, you will need to ensure you have named beneficiaries in Zest. You can amend your instructions as often as you need.
