Allianz Worldwide Care has enhanced its individual healthcare plans, adjusted premiums and added new online support tools for health and wellness.
The international PMI provider has introduced a range of deductibles for its Core Plans (which primarily cover in-patient treatment) for individuals.
Selecting one of these new deductibles, which range from €450 to €10,000, will reduce the member's Core Plan premium, with the highest deductible option corresponding to a premium discount of up to 60%.
The company's annual product review includes an analysis of healthcare premiums, and has increased its premium base rates by an average of 5% for the majority of its group and individual international healthcare plans.
Allianz noted this is significantly below the industry average.
A number of new health and wellness resources have also been added to the members' area of the Allianz Worldwide Care website, providing information and tools to support members in managing health.
The resources include access to health risk assessments, stress and weight management advice, assistance on giving up smoking, advice about sleeping well as well as tips on fitness and nutrition.
Susan Landers, head of marketing and client management, said: "People want healthcare plans which can be tailored to their specific requirements.
"We also understand the importance of ensuring that our health insurance remains affordable.
"Our ability to proactively monitor and manage the cost of medical treatment and associated services is what enables us to offer competitive premiums combined with a high level of service."
