NOW-HEALTH-INTERNATIONAL
Now Health International Group, a leading International Private Medical Insurance (IPMI) provider, has announced a new program with Starr Insurance Companies, a leading global insurance company, to drive forward ambitious growth plans in Europe.
This mutually beneficial relationship combines Now Health International’s global presence and expertise in providing high quality international health insurance solutions and state of the art digital tools, including the recently launched Mobile Pass innovation, with Starr’s long-standing global knowledge and ability to deliver customised solutions across Europe through a specialised team of professionals dedicated to offering the best service to its customers.
Under the new agreement, as of 1st March 2021, Starr Insurance Companies will insure all new and renewing business across Europe. Now Health International will continue to administer the international health insurance plans, including claims handling and customer service support. All members will also continue to benefit from access to Now Health International’s award-winning digital tools.
Zahir Sharif, Managing Director, Now Health International said, “At Now Health International we are committed to further building our presence in Europe and have ambitions to expand into new markets across the region.

Now Health International will continue to offer its existing products to members across Europe under the new partnership, including its flagship, benefit-rich WorldCare product, and its more affordable SimpleCare product for those looking for essential health cover. There will be no changes to plan benefits, pricing, or the customer service experience as a result of this arrangement.
The new program replaces Now Health International’s previous relationship with AXA PPP Healthcare. To ensure a smooth transition process for existing members, a runoff period will be deployed until 31st December 2021, seamlessly transitioning members to the new arrangement with Starr Insurance Companies at their next plan renewal.
Michel Faucher, Chief Commercial Officer, Now Health International added, “We are very excited about our new relationship and the opportunities it presents for us in the long term. I also want to reassure our members and partners that there will be complete continuity under the new arrangements, with the same market-leading plans and benefits, high standards of service, and state of the art digital tools our European customer base have come to expect.”
