A little more about Paycare

Founded in 1874 by the foremen of some of Wolverhampton’s largest factories, in a bid to protect their employees from crippling medical bills, Paycare has since grown to become one of the most respected health cover providers in the UK. As a not-for-profit organisation, we’re committed to 3 things: our Policyholders, the communities we serve and our fantastic team. Paycare’s product is different to Orchard Healthcare’s. Members who are looking to apply should review our product information carefully to make sure that it meets their needs.

We’re excited to welcome applicants from Orchard’s Membership, who choose to apply, to the Paycare fold. If you have any queries, please get in touch or you can go ahead and complete your application below and we’ll be in touch soon.

While Paycare is also a not-for-profit insurer, our product is different to Orchard Healthcare’s and you should review our product information carefully to make sure that it meets your needs.

Good for you, good for the community

Paycare is a not for profit organisation, so you will also be helping to support a wide range of good causes!
