Corporate healthcare benefits: Tax-free private GP services for Epsom businesses

Corporate healthcare benefits with no BIK: smart, tax-efficient private GP care for Epsom employers

Fast access to named GPs. Genuine preventative care. Tax efficiency that helps your bottom line. Local employers in Epsom are increasingly offering private healthcare packages that include a tax-exempt health screening and medical check—simple steps that improve staff wellbeing and help reduce absenteeism.

Why tax-free employee health checks matter

Under current UK tax rules, an employer can provide each employee with one health screening assessment and one medical check-up per tax year without those benefits being treated as a taxable benefit in kind (BIK). That means no income tax or employer National Insurance Contributions are due on those specific services. For employers in and around Epsom this offers a practical, low-cost way to add value to a benefits package while supporting workforce health.

What Mayfield Clinic offers for Epsom businesses

Mayfield Clinic delivers corporate health programmes designed to be clinically thorough and administratively simple. Our corporate services include:

• Comprehensive annual medicals and business health screening (physical exam, ECG where indicated, extensive blood testing and risk markers).
• Lifestyle and risk-factor consultations with personalised action plans.
• Clear individual health reports for employees and anonymised summary reporting for HR (with employee consent).
• Flexible delivery: on-site screenings, appointments at our Reigate practice for Epsom clients, or a blended model to suit shift patterns.

We typically see Epsom-based patients at our nearby Reigate practice. Appointments are straightforward to arrange via the Book now button on our site; members may also book by phone or WhatsApp.

How a tax-exempt health screening works in practice

A corporate health screening at Mayfield Clinic focuses on prevention. The session usually includes a focused medical history, clinical examination, blood tests for cardiovascular and metabolic risk, and a lifestyle review. The screening is structured to qualify under the HMRC exemption for one health screening assessment and one medical check-up per tax year, helping you offer a tax-efficient employee benefit.

Employers who prioritise early detection see measurable reductions in long-term sickness absence and improved retention—small investments that pay back in productivity.

Structuring a corporate package for Epsom teams

There are two common approaches:

• Tax-exempt baseline: offer each employee the one tax-free screening and medical check per year. This is straightforward to administer and highly visible as an employee benefit.
• Enhanced corporate membership: combine the tax-free screening with additional services (fast-access GP appointments, same-named GP continuity, mental health support, and guided referrals). These extra services can be offered as part of a broader benefits package and structured to remain tax-efficient where possible.

We work with firms across Surrey and the surrounding counties, including Epsom, to design packages that suit business size and shift patterns. For some local businesses—particularly those with staff who commute into Epsom or Reigate—we run on-site health MOTs at the workplace to reduce disruption.

Reporting, confidentiality and clinical governance

Employees receive a private, detailed clinical report. HR can get summarised, anonymised data to track trends across the workforce, provided individual consent is in place. Our clinicians follow the same standards used in private GP care—fast access, continuity with a named doctor, and clear clinical governance. Learn more about our private GP philosophy here.

3. Communicate consent and confidentiality clearly to staff.
4. Book a pilot run with a representative cohort, collect anonymised feedback, then scale across the business.

Local note

Epsom’s commuter and business community often seeks convenient healthcare near the town—many of our Epsom clients appreciate being seen in Reigate, a short drive from Epsom, after attending local events such as a day at Epsom Downs Racecourse.
