CARE QUARTERLY ISSUE 16 Dear All, Welcome to another edition of CQ. Our regular readers will know that we like to focus on a specific theme each quarter to ensure CQ is fresh and engaging. It s been a tricky decision this time around and in the end, we ve gone with a theme of new beginnings. With the end of the year fast approaching, we thought it would be a good time to start thinking of your 2017 New Year resolutions, at the very least it may avoid any last-minute panic decisions over the festive period! We also thought it was an ideal time for you to review your 2016 resolutions, to see how successful you have been so far. As a starter for ten, I ll kick things off. My main 2016 resolutions for JW Seagon were to launch our new website and a new international health insurance plan. I m delighted to say that we have done both and gone one step further - we ve also made two new additions to our senior management team. So change is well and truly in the air at JW Seagon, and as always we rely on your feedback to tell us what you think of this edition of CQ and our new beginnings. With kind regards David@jwseagon.com Please visit the dedicated CQ page on our website. Here you will be able to download previous editions, provide any feedback or ideas and add any email addresses to our CQ circulation list. www.jwseagon.com/cq INTRODUCING THE NEW AFRICA WELLNESS SOLUTIONS You talked, we listened! Health Insurance was the first product that JW Seagon ever sold over 2 years ago! It s no surprise therefore that it s a product that we know and understand better than most. We ve always wanted to lead the way in health insurance and demonstrate innovation for the true benefit of our customers. So the challenge was to put our money where our mouth is by developing a new health insurance plan that gives customers exactly what they have been asking for: Great benefits at a great price Confidence in the insurer so there is never any doubt over claims pay-outs Flexibility in benefits offered and coverage Suitable for individuals, families or businesses. A network you can always rely on The first and most important step was to partner ourselves with an insurer with genuine global gravitas; this was achieved with Allianz Worldwide Care. And following on from this, we wanted to surround ourselves with experts in other fields to ensure we covered the whole spectrum of healthcare needs with unrivalled service levels. That s why Henner, Amref Flying Doctors and Allianz Global Assistance were also brought on board. Allianz Worldwide Care We chose Allianz Worldwide Care to underwrite our AWS product because of its global reputation and financial strength. With more than 85 million customers, an AA financial rating and a wealth of experience in the African health insurance market, you can be confident you will be in safe hands. Henner Henner is our claims and provider management expert. Whenever you need treatment, its extensive provider network gives you access to over 40,000 hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, dentists and specialists, in 166 countries worldwide. Plus you don t have to worry about completing claim forms or paying invoices, because when you use a network provider, all of your in-patient and out-patient bills are settled directly. AFRICA WELLNESS SOLUTIONS DEVELOPED IN AFRICA, PROTECTING YOU GLOBALLY Amref Flying Doctors Emergency medical transfers and evacuations are included as standard on all AWS plans. When appropriate medical facilities aren t available locally, we use Amref Flying Doctors to arrange patient transfers on our behalf across the whole of Africa. Amref s advisers are used to working in high-pressure situations and there s nobody we d trust more to look after our customers. Allianz Global Assistance For emergency medical transfers and evacuations outside Africa, we use Allianz Global Assistance one of the world s leading assistance organisations. Its expert advisers are available at a moment s notice to get you the right treatment, at the right hospital, wherever you are in the world.
CARE QUARTERLY ISSUE 16 A better range of benefits, at a better price It was vital from our perspective that the new look AWS plan stood out from the crowd. We got tired of seeing uninspiring products in the marketplace with benefits that customers didn t want or need. This was never going to be the case with AWS and we were delighted to agree an exciting range of benefits with Allianz, which includes: Cover for pre-existing conditions instead of excluding pre-existing conditions we cover them, sometimes for an increase in premium A worldwide network of hospitals with access to 40,000 providers in 166 countries, you have flexibility for your treatment Direct settlement of bills we pay all your in-patient and out-patient bills directly, so you are never out-of-pocket. And finally, exemplary customer service has been the bedrock of our company ever since we started. So you won t be surprised to hear that all new AWS customers can be enrolled with 48 hours a figure that cannot be matched elsewhere and once on board, customers know we can be relied upon 24/7.
