    Aetna International

    Aetna International is pleased to sponsor the Best Group International Private Medical Insurance Intermediary category at this year’s Health Insurance Awards, in recognition of high levels of professional standards consistently achieved within this group.

    Group clients, whether large or small, often have complex requirements that need to be addressed by knowledgeable individuals with many years of experience in a complex and disparate global market. In each case, companies will have the welfare of their employees at heart and the onus is on the intermediary and insurer to safeguard that sufficient protection is in place to handle any eventuality.

    Aetna International is the expatriate business of Aetna Inc., one of the largest healthcare providers in the world with US$34billion in revenues and a 34,000-strong global workforce. Supporting more than 500,000 members outside of the U.S., we service the full spectrum of group clients, from companies with a handful of employees to the largest global organisations with staff members in numerous international locations.

    Intermediary partners can enjoy a product suite that covers virtually every client circumstance and cater to a variety of budget levels. Our portfolio ranges from comprehensive global plans with a variety of cover options to niche offerings meeting specific needs.

    We focus on ensuring the best possible care for clients’ members. We have built a talented team of clinicians, our international health advisory team, who are dedicated to meeting the healthcare challenges faced by globally mobile employees. They are available 24/7 to help members with everything from prescription medicine services to managing chronic conditions to recommending the best specialists to suit particular circumstances. Our clinicians are proactive. For example, they routinely call patients after a hospital discharge to provide support and to make sure members understand their follow-up treatment instructions. 

    Our commitment to innovation means that we continually develop self-help tools. Members, for example, can now file claims online through their smartphones and access care via the touch of a button. Online enrolment tools have proved of significant benefit to clients. And for brokers, we are developing new capabilities that outline the nuances of doing business, whilst staying compliant, in different countries.

  • AXA PPP International

    AXA PPP International

    AXA PPP International is an award winning insurer specialising in healthcare for the globally mobile and expatriated. We’ve been providing international health plans for over 41 years and have members in 140 countries.

    Health insurance is our expertise. As an even greater piece of reassurance, the pedigree of the AXA brand speaks volumes – we are the world’s number one insurance brand according to Interbrand’s ‘Best Global Brands 2012’.

    Global coverage and local partners

    We work with 13 partners around the world to give our members the choice of global, regional or local products. We also have agreements with third party associates worldwide to support the claims process and ease of access to providers.

    Flexible cover to suit your clients

    We offer 4 different levels of cover that come with a choice of add-ons such as out-patient treatment, dental care and routine pregnancy. Plus our travel cover add-on which takes into account the medical cover already on the plan, so members avoid paying twice for it.

    A range of excesses and the option to exclude the USA means that finding the right cover for your clients is easy and affordable.

    Access to over 10,000 hospitals around the globe

    When admitted into hospital, the last thing people want to worry about is paying the bill. With an AXA PPP International health plan we can settle bills direct with over 10,000 hospitals worldwide. And even if our members’ hospital of choice isn’t one of those 10,000, we can arrange to pay that hospital direct when they call to confirm their treatment is covered. And then all they need to concern themselves with is getting back to full health.

    More than just paying claims

    We know that life as an expatriate can be full of surprises and there will be times when extra support is needed. As part of their membership, they also get access to the below services:

    • 24/7 Health at Hand telephone helpline manned by healthcare professionals.
    • Telephone interpretation so any time of day or night – plus, an additional document translation service is available at no extra charge.
    • 24/7 security hotline with intelligence on more than 180 countries and 900 cities. Offering assistance on situations such as:
      • Political or civil unrest
      • Natural disasters
      • Local disasters
      • Crime and terrorism.
    • Personal Medical Case Management. More than a second opinion service, these independent case managers will engage with experts from around the world to create and manage a personal care plan for our member and provide guidance to ensure they get the most appropriate treatment possible.
    • Customer Online, the secure login website where members can:
      • Access their policy documents
      • Confirm their treatment is covered
      • Make and track claims
      • Find the most appropriate place of treatment using our MyGlobe tool
    • Evacuation and repatriation is covered on all of our policies so if the emergency treatment needed isn’t available locally, we’ll make sure our member is taken to the nearest centre of medical excellence.

    Denplan

    No one does dental like Denplan

    Denplan has been at the heart of dental care for over 25 years and the dental plans we arrange have helped us to become an award-winning and nationally recognised brand. In fact, Denplan was voted Health Insurance and Protection’s Best Dental Plan Provider in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

    With flexible plans that offer reimbursement for routine and restorative dental treatment, dental can be a great deal more attractive to employees than some other benefits and more widely used. The Dental Wellbeing Range of dental plans place a strong focus on preventive care and are designed to encourage regular attendance at the dentist. And for those with different budgetary needs, Denplan Lucent is available. Denplan Lucent is competitively priced, and provides cover for a full range of dental treatments.

    With our online service which allows employees to submit and track their claims, as well as request benefit statements, we are making it even easier for employees to benefit from their dental plan.

    We strive to ensure our products are up to date and relevant, that’s why in 2013 we have updated benefit limits and launched the Denplan Discount Network. Our network of over 1,800 dentists throughout the UK, enables employees covered by Denplan to receive a discount on the cost of treatments.  A unique network only available through Denplan.

  • Engage Mutual

    Engage Mutual’s corporate health cash plan, one fund, is unique. It gives employees access to one annual pot of money. Unlike other health cash plans that limit benefit levels, restricting choice, one fund is unique in giving your employee more flexibility in how they choose to use the fund - the only limits being on optical and health screening on the company paid scheme.

    In the 2012 UK Health Market Report Laing & Buisson described Engage Mutual as “the most progressive recent entrant into the health cash plan market.”
