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.

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.
