102nd ACCU Meeting — Status of Health Insurance Project for Users3 In the meantime 1/2 Review of Allianz Worldwide Care (AWC) proposal with: CERN Legal Service Chairman of the CHIS CERN Medical Service The concept of “urgent care” is perceived as a major risk for the sustainability of this scheme by these experienced stakeholders This is confirmed by NATO HQ in Brussels (which are AWC customers)
DCB - PB102nd ACCU Meeting — Status of Health Insurance Project for Users4 In the meantime 2/2 NATO HQ provided us elements of their contract Early November, AWC and brokers were asked to review their proposal based on these new requirements No revised proposal yet There is still the exclusion of pregnancy cares that shall be carefully looked at
DCB - PB102nd ACCU Meeting — Status of Health Insurance Project for Users5 Conclusion We are progressing slowly but safely: There are not many insurance companies interested in providing such a service We shall safeguard the only one who is still interested in offering this very unusual insurance service But we shall absolutely set up a scheme that fulfills sustainability and diversity requirements New tentative date for service into operation: Early March 2014
Special thanks to M. Yann Delessert and Kessler’s Experts for their investigations and to Doris Chromek-Burckhart for her help in triggering requirements Thank you for your attention
