A range of new services which mitigate health
risks for expatriates and business travellers
International health and life insurer Allianz Worldwide Care
launched a new corporate assistance services offering today,
‘Allianz Corporate Assistance’, developed for business travellers
and expatriated employees of multinational companies.
Multinationals operating in remote environments, for example within
the mining, oil and gas industries, often face challenging
conditions. For their employees, health and security risks can be
high, while local medical support may be limited or non
existent.
Ron Buchan, Chief Executive of Allianz Worldwide Care said: “The
introduction of Allianz Corporate Assistance is a natural and
straightforward step for us. We have many clients in industries
such as mining, construction, oil and gas, who need to establish
operations where those natural resources or opportunities are
located. This can include some fairly inhospitable environments.
Our clients want to ensure that there is adequate medical care and
support for their teams”.
We already have doctors based around the world and a 24/7
multilingual Helpline, so we are well placed to extend our support
offering to help clients overcome some of the challenges that they
may face and mitigate health risks. For example, in remote
locations, if medical care is not readily available, we can
establish static or mobile first aid stations, medical centres or
clinics, with state of the art medical equipment and supplies”.
Allianz Corporate Assistance services include:
- Establishment and staffing of remote
first aid stations or clinics
- Tele-medicine
- General health and medical provider
information
- Medical evacuation/repatriation and
related services
- Case management of out-patient and
in-patient treatment
- Shipment of prescribed drugs
- Medical second opinion
- Occupational health and wellness
- Health checks
These new services are available from 1st January 2015 and the
company has designed the offering to be very modular, flexible and
convenient for clients. There is a base package of standard medical
assistance services which companies can then supplement from a list
of additional services, selecting only those that are of interest
to them. Services such as the establishment of remote clinics and
tele-medicine facilities, which by their nature need to be tailored
to each client, can be purchased on an individual basis, regardless
of whether or not the client has selected the base package.
These new services can be purchased by any company, regardless
of whether or not they currently have international health and life
policies with Allianz Worldwide Care.
