Ageas adds more value with Best Doctors on life insurance

10th January 2013 Print

Ageas Protect has extended its existing partnership with Best Doctors to give new life insurance customers access to expert medical opinions as soon as their policy goes on-risk.

Customers buying any term assurance, family income benefit, income protection or critical illness cover from Ageas Protect will now be able get a second medical opinion through Best Doctors on the diagnosis and treatment of serious medical conditions worrying them, their partner or their dependent children.

The added value service will be given to customers who buy any type of YourLife Plan, Low Start or Real Life Cover policy from Ageas Protect, which goes on risk after 1st January 2013. Using the Best Doctors service does not have to be linked to a claim.

Commenting on the tie-up, Steve Casey, Head of Marketing and Propositions at Ageas Protect, said: "Best Doctors membership gives our customers the simple reassurance that they can consult a doctor who has been recognised as a worldwide expert in the diagnosis and treatment of their condition - quickly, easily, at no additional cost and even if they're not making a claim. It means all our policies now support customers both financially and medically."

This is just the first in a series of improvements that Ageas Protect will be making this year to give new customers extra value for money when buying financial protection.

Casey added "The introduction of gender neutral pricing and I-E tax changes will this year force new protection customers to pay more for their insurance cover. We feel it's only fair to ensure they all get something in return. That's why our first step has been to make Best Doctors available across all of our policies, so every new customer and their family benefits equally."
