Provider Network Manager
About Healix Health:
Founded in 2000 by two clinicians, Healix Health was built on the belief that healthcare works best when it’s personal, not prescriptive.
We are a leading UK corporate healthcare consultancy, partnering with Employee Benefit Consultancies (EBCs), HR, Finance and Reward leaders to design, fund and govern sustainable employee healthcare strategies. Our clients need more than an off‑the‑shelf insurance product — they need expert advice, transparency and long‑term value.
Specialising in self‑funded healthcare trusts and clinically led claims management, we help organisations rethink how healthcare is structured, funded and delivered, aligning employee wellbeing with long‑term commercial, workforce and financial objectives. We act as a long‑term advisory partner rather than a transactional supplier.
