Citadel Insurance plc. has strengthened its insurance offering to include private medical insurance, formerly offered through its subsidiary, as part of its product range. The full spectrum of products provided comprise of motor, home, travel, marine, business, health and life. The health plans, for adults, children and companies offer a bespoke package of benefits designed to provide care exactly when customers need it most.
The health insurance products, underwritten by Citadel Insurance plc. are for those who can be particularly vulnerable to the financial impact of illness, but who typically find health insurance cost-prohibitive. The plans leave customers entirely free to choose the specialist, hospital or clinic of their choice. The Core, Comfort, Complete and Child Plans are designed to cover the cost of private medical treatment. Customers can select the level of benefits as well as include cover for outpatients treatment and preventive check-ups.
Citadel Insurance Managing Director Angela Tabone said: "Health insurance is increasingly sought after by organisations as part of their employee benefits package; so we have created group plans that help to positively manage the health of a workforce in a practical and affordable way. Of course the plans are also available to those individuals or families who do not enjoy the benefit of company paid health insurance. Plan holders enjoy the comfort of receiving immediate private medical treatment at private clinics or hospitals. In addition, we also offer flexible payment options, making it easier for customers to spread their costs."
A health advice line is available to customers through Citadel's Health Insurance Department during office hours. This provides daily access to advice and support from Citadel staff on procedures for making claims and to verify the extent of cover. When abroad, customers may also get in touch with an affiliated international company for assistance in case of a claim.
Ms. Tabone added: "A growing proportion of the public opt for private medical insurance for the comfort in knowing that medical treatment is available when required. These plans are all about regaining good health without delay, without having to worry about treatments which could sometimes go beyond individuals' financial means. Also in the works is a new plan intended for young families and single parents, which we will be launching shortly to complement Core, Comfort, Complete, Child and Group."
The entire health insurance range is currently being distributed through Citadel's wide network of branches and intermediaries throughout Malta and Gozo.
