The life insurance provider offering a health check with your policy

Modern day life insurance providers offer so much more than just a lump sum pay-out.

So many of the UK’s leading life insurance providers now offer *free benefits which you automatically gain access to when you take out cover with them, whether this is life insurance or critical illness cover.

One of Vitality’s top life insurance benefits is the yearly health check you can get for just £15, keep reading to find out more about what these health checks can do for you, how you can access them, and what they include.


Who is Vitality?

Founded in 1994, compared to some of the top names in life insurance, Vitality is fairly new. Although new, they are still one of the top insurers in the UK and as of 2018 they have helped over 1 million people nationwide.

Rewards galore

Vitality, one of the UK’s leading life insurance providers, is the perfect example of getting free benefits included in your cover when you take out a qualifying policy.

Vitality’s ethos is all about promoting a healthy lifestyle whilst offering amazing cover in the process. They do this by encouraging you to keep healthy, active, amongst other positive habits and in return, you’ll receive points.

Get enough points and you’ll see these turn into rewards that both you and your loved ones can make use of. These rewards range all the way from free coffee’s to 75% off spa weekends, plus so much more. Here are just some of the benefits Vitality offer with their rewards scheme:

  • Get an Apple Watch from just £39 a month up front, earn points by keeping active (the more points you earn, the less you pay for your watch)*
  • Cinema tickets Up to 36% off a range of FitBit devices
  • Get up to 81% off health screenings with Bluecrest
  • Up to 40% off a range of Garmin watches
  • Earn a 12 month Amazon Prime membership
  • Up to 50% off selected gym memberships

What does this health check include?

If you have a qualifying policy with them, your annual health check from Vitality will include a blood test, with the appointment only taking 30 minutes in total. Your height and weight will also be taken as well as your waist circumference. The blood test will inform you of your cholesterol and glucose levels.

Having a Vitality Health Check will also earn you 240 Vitality points. They will also give you another 60 points for each healthy result and 200 Vitality points for confirming you're a non-smoker at the health check. You can earn these points once every plan year.

Positive feedback

What better way to find out more about how something works than to ask those who have used it for feedback? We asked Rebecca and Hayley, who have both used Vitality to get a health check and here’s what they had to say about the whole process:

Rebecca said, “It was such a quick and easy process! There was quite a wait for a doctor's appointment at the time, so having this health check was a great alternative for me. My results came back within a few days and they were so detailed which I was surprised about! Now I can start improving my habits to help improve my overall health.”

Hayley said, “It was really informative and efficient to be able to do it from my own home. Really quick and simple instructions and the results were back in days. Also I loved the reward aspect. I have now reached gold points meaning I get to unlock more benefits from my policy.”
