Generali Best Doctors Mental Health Navigator
Generali UK has launched an innovative new mental health navigator service, adding it at no extra cost to the range of early intervention and rehabilitation services available on its Group Income Protection (GIP) policy. It includes:
Expert assessment and signposting to appropriate services by mental health clinicians, reducing pressure on line managers and mental health first aiders, while improving outcomes for individuals and for business.
Mental health condition and treatment reviews for anyone who wants a better understanding of an existing condition or prescribed programme.
Improved integration of an employer’s existing benefits, services and mental health policies and procedures into a more structured and meaningful pathway.
Leveraging a cross-functional team of leading psychologists, psychiatrists and clinicians, the service is designed to identify the correct diagnosis and provide an action plan for those struggling with a range of mental health conditions from anxiety, stress or depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), to many other mental health problems. Available to all employees of Generali’s GIP policyholders and their families (over the age of 18), the service may also be used by those who want to gain a better understanding of an existing condition or treatment programme.
The service is fully integrated into Generali’s comprehensive care pathways, which may be tailored to individual employee requirements and include access to: an employee assistance programme; vocational rehabilitation; psychotherapy services; cancer recovery services; chronic fatigue and pain specialists; physiotherapy; cognitive behavioural therapy; specialist dietetics; absence and return to work case management, plus conflict resolution and mediation services.
Comment: Mental health has rightly become a big issue for employers and it is good to see insurers responding by improving and widening the range of services they offer in this area.
These services are all valuable and add nothing to the cost – as true win/win.
Plus points: A no cost add-on; Provides a range of valuable services to help employees.
Not so plus points: Not much- the only downside is that more services adds a small degree of complexity.
