Acquisition for Westfield Health

HEALTH insurance provider Westfield Health has bought PatientChoice.

Surrey-based PatientChoice markets and sells health insurance products and has administered Westfield Health’s ‘Surgery Choices’ product for the last three years.

Jill Davies, chief executive of Westfield Health, said: “The acquisition of PatientChoice is an exciting development and a natural progression for Westfield Health, which is extremely positive news for our policyholders and stakeholders.

“When Westfield launched Surgery Choices it was considered a bold move by the market and has been extremely well received since.

“The product has proved popular with intermediaries, employers and employees and the acquisition of PatientChoice further strengthens Westfield’s commitment to delivering innovative and relevant health cover.”        

Sheffield based Westfield Health provides health insurance plans to consumers, employers and intermediaries and has more than 300,000 policyholders.
