AFM welcomes 8 new member companies from the BHCA

On 1 January 2017, members of the British Health Care Association transferred their membership to AFM.  This brings AFM membership now to 47, with another 22 Associate members.

The new members are all health cash plan providers, and are run on a not-for-profit basis.  This reinforces AFM's growing role in healthcare and protection, and strengthens its voice for representing small insurers run in the best interests of their members.

To coincide with the widened membership, AFM is establishing a new Healthcare and Protection Committee, and is redesigning its website to stress the increasing focus on healthcare.  The BHCA website has now closed, though their branding will be retained on AFM's website and, for two year's at least, on its health related project work.

The new members are:

• BHSF
• HSF Health Plan
• Medicash
• Orchard Healthcare
• Plutus Health
• UK Healthcare
• Westfield Health
• WHA Healthcare

The new members from BHCA join Paycare and Sovereign Health Care, who were previously members of both BHCA and AFM.
