Pension Fund Advisory Services
Medigold are able to offer two services to assist Pension Scheme Trustees. Firstly, we are able to help underwrite late entrance to the pension scheme to make sure that pension schemes are not taking on employees who know that they have a pre-existing condition or who are likely to be early claimers to the early ill health retirement scheme.
Secondly, we can assess claims for early ill health retirement. We offer a comprehensive claims management system to help pension trustees make these difficult decisions.
Medigold are ideally placed to act as your advisor as we have unique industry experience in Pensions and Insurance Medicine. Dr Mike Goldsmith, the Medigold Executive Chairman and Chief Pensions and Insurance Specialist, was Chief Medical Adviser to the Sedgwick Group (now part of the Marsh Insurance Group) for 5 years before initiating the MBO that led to Medigold's inception. This experience, combined with that of his team of experienced Occupational Health Consultant Physicians, has led to Medigold's pre-eminence in this particular field.
As with the majority of our services, Medigold take a risk management approach to our Pensions Advisory work to protect Trustees from both legal threats and Financial Services Authority regulatory action. Medigold specialise in providing expert medical advice to Pension Scheme Trustees, including:
- Medical Underwriting
- Entry to Pension Schemes for both recruitment and ‘late-entry’ situations
- Early ill health retirement claims
- Early ill health retirement reviews and diarisation
- Bespoke advice to Trustees
