Dentists' Provident paid out £4.9m in claims to members during 2024, their latest figures show. Their claims report for 2024 shows the largest amount paid to an individual claimant was
£87,880 and whilst the majority of the claims paid were to those aged 46-55 years-old, the youngest claimant was a 27-year-old dentist. The report also shows that 97.5% of new claims
received a payment. Musculoskeletal disorders (27%), accidents (14%) and cancers (12%) continued to remain as some of the most significant reasons for claims last year. Simon Elliott, Chief
Risk Officer of Dentists' Provident, said: ‘Our members made significantly fewer claims in 2024. In particular, there was a notable reduction in claims for infectious diseases,
reflecting the expected return towards historic trend rates. Our high claim payment rate is a testament to the benefits of an integrated approach to underwriting and claims. By following a
thorough underwriting process, we seek to minimise issues for our members when they really need us.' Farrukh Mirza, CEO at Dentists' Provident adds: ‘Our continued strength lies in
putting our members at the heart of everything we do and doing what is right, not only for our current membership, but also for future generations. We make a considerable investment in our
plans and our service, to give our members confidence that they have a dependable income protection plan that works for them.' To read the full ‘2024 Claim statistics' report
