Annual health check through your company

Company health check: how it works

The short answer: the company pays, you answer a three-minute health questionnaire, have one blood sample taken at a clinic near you or at home, and receive a clinician-reviewed report. Ultimate costs £399 per person and reports within 4 working days. Done once per tax year and bought by the company, it is exempt from income tax as a health screening.

Step by step

From company card to report

2. Pay with the company cardThe company is the buyer. You get a receipt by email. Keep it for your accountant.

3. Give the details of the person being testedTheir name goes on the order at checkout, so the buyer and the person tested can be different.

4. Answer the health questionnaireAbout three minutes, done by the person being tested with their own email. The report is written around their answers.

5. Book the blood drawUltimate: you book by phone with your chosen partner clinic after paying, and the referral never expires. Signature: you choose your Randox Health clinic and time online.

6. Have the sample takenUltimate: a blood draw and a urine sample; the draw itself takes about 10 minutes. Signature: about 30 minutes, with blood, urine and six body measurements.

7. Read your reportUltimate within 4 working days of the draw. Signature within 12 working days of the appointment. Clinician-reviewed before you see it.

8. Repeat next tax yearThe exemption renews each 6 April. Testing at the same time each year lets the report compare against your last one.

The tax side

What makes it a company expense and not a taxed perk

Under section 320B of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, no income tax arises when an employer provides an employee with a health-screening assessment or a medical check-up, limited to one of each per tax year. Directors count as employees for this.

Three things keep you inside it: the company buys the screening directly; it is a screening to find risks, not tests for an illness the person already has; and it is that person's only screening in the tax year. The rule in full, with the HMRC sources.

Send the receipt to your accountant with a note of who was tested. How the cost is treated in your accounts is their decision.

What you get

What is in the report

A list of numbers against reference ranges is what most blood tests give you. This is different in four ways.

Organ by organ, in plain English. Heart, liver, kidneys, thyroid, hormones, blood sugar, iron and vitamins, each explained, with what to do first.

Results read together. Each marker is read against the others, because patterns across several in-range results are where early findings sit.

A biological age and an overall score. PhenoAge estimates biological age from nine markers; TrueScore is an overall score out of 100.

Someone to ask. A named account manager explains anything in the report. They do not give medical advice or replace your GP; if something needs attention, the report says so and tells you what to take to your GP. See a sample report.

The honest version

What this is not

Not a consultation

Nobody examines you and there is no doctor's appointment. If that is what you want, a clinic health assessment is the right product.

Not a diagnosis

A report is information. Anything it flags as needing attention goes to your GP.

Not for symptoms

If you are unwell now, see your GP. Tests to investigate an existing problem are also outside the tax exemption.

Not instant

Up to 4 working days for Ultimate and 12 for Signature, after the sample is taken.
