Support+ is a confidential and independent care advisory service provided by qualified and experienced nurses. This also costs just 49p per month, per member.
Dale Tranter, assistant group underwriting manager at Universal Provident, said: "These enhancements, with more to come later in the year, underpin our commitment to the Group PMI market.
"We believe these competitively priced enhancements, together with an already strong product, add up to a proposition that increasing numbers of advisers will want to recommend".
