At the PLASA Show, PLASA launched a new initiative in association with Forester Health, designed to pay for basic healthcare needs no longer fully funded by the NHS and to provide financial assistance in the event of hospitalization, accident or the birth of a child.

The Forester Cash Plan is not just another Private Medical Insurance (PMI) scheme - it complements the facilities of the NHS and will also complement and enhance existing PMI schemes because of the different types of benefits provided. The plan will cover pre-existing conditions for all PLASA members - companies and individuals - who sign up for the scheme before 31 December 2001.

Under the Cash Plan, cash refunds are provided for dental treatment (100% refund), eye tests, prescription glasses and contact lenses (100% refund), prescription charges and physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic homeopathic acupuncture, reflexology and chiropody treatments.

There are three different levels of the plan to suit individual circumstances. Discounts are available for families, and children are covered free to the age of 18.
