Aviva UK Health has announced it is to enhance its group risk proposition with the introduction of a new group critical illness product.

The company claims the latest addition to the range comes in direct response to an increased customer demand for lower-cost employee benefits to include as part of a flexible benefits scheme.

There are two levels of cover available, with businesses able to purchase a standard list of illnesses and procedures or an extended list.

Benefit is paid up to five times the employee's salary, subject to a maximum of £500,000.

Steve Bridger, head of group risk at Aviva UK Health, said: "Our recent product and service enhancements mean that we now offer some of the most competitive group income protection and group life terms in the market."
