Aetna International is pleased to sponsor the Best Group International Private Medical Insurance Intermediary category at this year’s Health Insurance Awards. The category is all about recognising the high levels of professional standards consistently achieved by intermediaries.

Organisations, whether large or small, often have complex health care and budgetary needs for their global employees. They rely on those with years of experience successfully operating in today’s intricate, international environment to help them take the best possible care of their employees. They need health care intermediaries and private medical insurers to make sure health and wellness support and protection is in place to handle any eventuality.

Aetna International – the expatriate business of Aetna – is a leading global health company that specialises in diversified health care benefits and providing health and wellness support. We support more than 650,000 globally mobile members, and service the full spectrum of group clients, from those with a handful of employees to some of the largest organisations in the world with employees in numerous different countries.

Our intermediary partners have access to a product suite that covers almost every client circumstance, and caters to a range of budgetary requirements. Our portfolio ranges from comprehensive global plans with a variety of cover options, to niche offerings that meet very specific needs.

At Aetna International, our mission – to build a healthier worldTM – drives us to support our clients and members with their health care benefits needs and to making tomorrow better than today. It underpins everything we do, from the ways we develop prevention and wellness programmes, approach care management, provide access to quality, affordable care, and create tailored benefits programmes for specific customer populations.

We’re also committed to continually innovating faster and easier ways for our members to enrol for their corporate plan online, submit and track their claims, find health care providers, and access all their policy documents. For example, members can use their smartphones to access care at the touch of a button. And for our intermediary partners, our online Country Profiler outlines the nuances of doing business, in keeping with local regulations, in different countries around the world.

We’re proud to be able to sponsor the Best Individual PMI Intermediary and Best Group Risk Intermediary categories at this year’s Health Insurance Awards.
