As the current Covid-19 crisis took hold, private hospitals in the UK were seconded by the NHS to provide essential medical support and treatment to those affected by the virus. We wanted to explain what this means for your Havensrock PMI scheme and how members can still enjoy access to healthcare and wellbeing services.
Changes you need to be aware of
The PMI provider for this scheme is AXA PPP. They are still pre-authorising eligible claims so members can have private treatment as soon as it becomes available again.
AXA-PPP have also launched a new Clinical Support Centre, to help your members get the support and care they need. This new service will give members quick and easy remote access to specialists and practitioners available by telephone, video or online. Helping them reach the right expert at the right time – from the safety of their own home.
The Clinical Support team will direct them to the most appropriate specialist for the right support and advice, without needing an NHS GP referral letter. Please note that if they have a concern related to coronavirus, they should visit NHS 111 online.
Keeping your employees informed
This assurance applies to all SME groups who had a Havensrock PMI or AXA PPP healthcare private health insurance plan on the 1 January 2020. And any new customers who joined before 1 April 2020.
To ensure that you are able to keep all members of your scheme informed of these changes and what this means for them, AXA PPP has produced a member update which you can download here.
