AXA offers teleconsultation service to support pandemic response efforts
AXA
Philippines is providing customers easy access to
medical consultations
through its health partner MyPocketDoctor.
The
COVID-19 pandemic has brought on the reemergence of digital healthcare where patients and doctors communicate and hold remote medical consultations by
telephone or by video link.
To
foster better health outcomes, AXA is offering free teleconsultation to
approximately 6.5 million people in Asia, including under-served patients in
remote, rural areas with limited health care access.
In
the Philippines, AXA, one of the country's leading insurers, is providing its customers
easy and convenient
access to health care services amid the crisis by offering medical
teleconsultation service
through one of its health
partners MyPocketDoctor, the
first telemedicine app in the country that allows people to consult with a
medical doctor from the safety of their own homes.
"To give
our policyholders access to quality healthcare while in quarantine, we are offering
them this teleconsultation service to make sure they still get the care that they need
without exposing themselves to other health risks," said AXA Philippines
president and CEO Rahul Hora.
Providing 24/7 access to medical consultations, MyPocketDoctor is accessible anytime, anywhere as long as you
have a smartphone. Simply
download the MyPocketDoctor app from the Google Play or App Store only and
register using your e-mail address and mobile number. Once registration is
complete, you can have your virtual medical consultation by a simple tap of a
button.
Teleconsultation via MyPocketDoctor
is available as free
service to policyholders of AXA health plans (Health Max, Health Start, and Global Health Access). From now until
May 15, 2020, AXA is also
giving a free one-time access to teleconsultation to its life insurance (non-health)
policyholders and select general insurance customers.
