AXA Philippines Offers Global Access to Best Healthcare

AXA Philippines, one of the country’s largest and fastest growing life insurance companies, continues to offer Filipinos the best in healthcare coverage plans as the company launches Global Health Access (GHA), its latest health product positioned to address the health care needs of individuals anytime, anywhere they may be around the globe.

“When it comes to health, we all want to get access to the best possible doctors, treatments, medicine, and medical facilities, even if it means going abroad,” says Rahul Hora, President and CEO of AXA Philippines. “With Global Heath Access, we make it possible for Filipinos with its comprehensive features and benefits and its worldwide coverage.”

“AXA is a global leader in insurance, with over 103 million customers in 64 countries worldwide. We have also established ourselves to be one of the top health and protection providers in the world,” Hora adds. “In 2015 alone, we had over 3 million customers who benefited from our health assistance services, and over €12 billion in protection and health benefits were paid out to our customers worldwide.”

Executive class benefits

 Global Health Access is a worldwide comprehensive health coverage plan, which allows consumers to avail the best healthcare anywhere in the Philippines or abroad.

The plan gives a P100-million worth of annual healthcare coverage for one’s use both in the country, and abroad, whether one is travelling, or looking for diagnosis or treatment from medical specialists or experts abroad. The coverage includes both in-patient and select out-patient procedures, including treatments such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and kidney dialysis.

Apart from access to healthcare coverage around the world, Global Health Access gives Filipinos access to AXA’s global network of top-rated hospitals, medical practitioners, and emergency responders. But unlike most health plans that limit customers to their network of hospitals, Global Health Access allows policyowners to consult with their own doctors or specialists even if they’re outside of AXA’s network, giving them peace of mind.

Another benefit of Global Health Access is that customers have the option to do cashless transactions for in- patient treatments through AXA’s global network of hospitals, even when one is in another country, providing utmost convenience. One simply needs to show their Global Health Access card and the hospital will contact AXA to arrange for the eligible treatment to be settled by AXA directly with the medical provider. Better yet, for planned treatments, if AXA is given advance notice, AXA can arrange for the direct settlement even before the customer arrives at the hospital, allowing for smoother admission. This way, policyowners need not worry about having to settle hospital bills and just focus on getting better.

Customers may also seek round-the-clock medical advice from healthcare experts through the ’24/7 Health Support’ of AXA, a first of its kind in the Philippines, allowing insured Filipinos to easily get in touch with the AXA’s global team of nurses, pharmacists, counselors, and midwives.

Last but not least, Global Health Access policyowners can use its Global Concierge service, that provides them assistance on services such as flight and travel arrangements for scheduled treatments, transfers to and from the hospital, or even dining and entertainment reservations.

Flexible coverage options

 Global Health Access is available for individuals (Filipinos and non-Filipinos alike) primarily residing in the Philippines who are between 15 days old to 70 years old. Annual premiums for a 35-year old individual can be as low as only P49,920 for P100 million worth of coverage. Customers have the choice to choose between ‘Worldwide Coverage’ and ‘Worldwide Coverage excluding USA.’

Moreover, customers can avail of a family package that covers their spouses and children with the same Global Health Access plan to enjoy a 15% reduction on their total premiums, provided a minimum of four (4) eligible members are enrolled.

“In today’s busy and stressful world, we often work hard to leave a grand legacy for our loved ones, so that they get to enjoy the best in life. But getting and expecting the best in life shouldn’t be limited to just business or leisure — it should also include the best healthcare available,” concludes Hora. “With AXA’s Global Health Access, you deserve no less.”
