AXA adapts to post-Brexit healthcare
AXA Global Healthcare has unveiled a series of developments to continue to offer post-Brexit service for European members
AXA Global Healthcare has committed further investment in an EU office – established in Dublin and led by Gordon Delaney, Regional Head Europe at AXA Global Healthcare – to support the smooth transition of members in the European Economic Area (EEA) to a new insurer, so that members could continue to receive compliant healthcare support and cover in a post-Brexit world.
Expanding across the European region
AXA Global Healthcare has also welcomed Marc Posthuma, a new Business Development and Relationship Manager tasked with developing the portfolio across Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Posthuma’s role will see him working alongside intermediaries and direct business to benefit sales across the Benelux region.
A new partnership with Irish insurer Vhi allows it to offer private health insurance plans to customers based in the Republic of Ireland. AXA is also growing its network of medical providers across the continent through a partnership with assistance provider AP Companies. Expanding the AXA Select network by an additional 900 providers, this partnership ensures support is available to members across Europe.
Delaney, commented: “Setting this up ahead of time gave our members one less thing to worry about when uncertainty around accessing healthcare rose due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Whether our customers are looking for international health products in the UK, the EEA or elsewhere, we can ensure consistency in plan design and the service and medical support that we offer.”
