AXA PPP International has added a medical case management service for existing individual and corporate subscribers to its International Health Plan.
The service, which is elective, is provided by Medix Medical Services Europe (Medix) - an independent specialist provider of personal medical case management services which also draws on a panel of expert advisers to review members' cases and prepare personalised treatment plans.
When a member contacts Medix, a dedicated medical case management team is assigned to support them who can liaise with the member's local care provider and help the member to collect all available information about their condition before drawing up a plan.
Andrew Coombs, AXA PPP International's managing director, said: ‘The Medix' service will be a great comfort to members and their families by giving them the peace of mind of knowing that they will be guided and supported by the advice of independent medical experts to help ensure that their treatment plans are devised and implemented in accordance with best practice - wherever they may be in the world.'
The Medix service is provided in existing international insurance plans as part of the policy benefits. Members must pre-authorise treatment plans recommended by Medix to confirm their eligibility for benefit before proceeding.
