ECB Healthtrust

Medical Benefits

Designed by cricketers for cricketers, the Trust has been established for the benefit of you as players within the County structure. It is overwhelmingly supported by the Counties as providing the most efficient and tailored set of medical benefits and tax advantages for professional cricketers.
Dependants can be included at the subscription rates which are well below standard market rates for private medical insurance.
The Trust provides referral and access to the country’s top sports treatment and rehabilitation specialists.

Tax Benefits

P11d dispensation
'Benefits in kind' such as access to private medical treatment, paid for by an employer are usually assessable in whole to personal income tax at a player’s highest rate of personal taxation. Currently, only (17%) of the contribution paid on behalf of players under the Trust is assessable. A significant tax saving.

Membership

Membership of the Trust by players is subject to the participation of their County. The PCA and ECB are keen for the Trust to be adopted by all Counties in order to achieve a common set of medical benefits and principles for all players in professional cricket. In line with this objective, Health Partners in conjunction with the PCA, will be approaching all non-participating Counties in the near future in an attempt to secure their membership.

In due course, Health Partners will be writing to all current members to advise of any revisions to benefits and details of the claims helplines/processes with effect from the 1st April.
