The British Insurance Brokers Association (BIBA) has declared its private medical insurance group will expand its remit to include income protection, critical illness and group life insurance .
The group will be changing its name, with immediate effect, to the Health Insurance Focus Group. BIBA is asking large, medium and small members who are involved, or specialise in healthcare insurance issues, to join the Health Insurance Focus Group to reflect the group's new concern. BIBA is aiming to include a cross section of members to represent all issues of health care.
Glen Smith, BIBA health insurance focus group chairman, said: "By widening the remit of the group we will now be representing many more of BIBA's members who have a healthcare focus and I look forward to engaging with them. The structure of the group means that any member who joins, large or small, will have an equal share of voice."
