Healthcare provider Healix has been chosen by insurer Zurich UK to bolster its healthcare offering

Healix will work with Zurich UK to provide a flexible healthcare plan for its corporate clients, which will be available through brokers and intermediaries as well as directly to clients.

The partnership will see the integration of Zurich LiveWell’s mobile app, a wellbeing hub that will allow members to assess, monitor and receive support on improving their health and wellbeing, with Healix’s claims management services and the HealthHero virtual GP service.

The benefits available to employees of Zurich UK’s clients will give them health and wellbeing options, from consulting a GP and receiving any onward referral letters, to opening and managing any claims with Healix through their phone.

Within the offering, there will be four tiers of benefits for clients to choose from, ranging from Core to Advanced+. While the Core offering includes full diagnostic coverage and access to a wide medical facility network, the Advanced and Advanced+ tiers offer a full array of services, including no restrictions on available medical facilities, diagnostic coverage, physiotherapy and mental health treatment, and full access to the LiveWell wellbeing app and virtual GP service.

Access to timely diagnostics

Ian Talbot, CEO at Healix, commented: “Ultimately, this will provide access to timely, private diagnostics, and ease them through the entire healthcare journey. We look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on Zurich and their client’s wellbeing.”

“Zurich is delighted to partner with Healix to ensure our clients receive the best services possible,” Stephane Baj, Head of Zurich UK’s Accident and Health team added. “With Healix, our members will be able to receive fast and accurate diagnostics, and the integration of the app will allow them to manage their own journey, so that their health and wellbeing is prioritised at all times. We are excited to see the positive impact this will have on our clients.”

Meanwhile, Zurich Insurance Group has expanded its business travel product and services.
