Bank Muscat Launches Hayatuna Health Insurance In Oman
Bank Muscat , the flagship financial services provider in the Sultanate, in partnership with AXA Insurance, has launched a first-of-its-kind health insurance plan in Oman that offers full coverage for treatment ranging from simple medical check-ups to chronic illness. Inkawan Dharma Jusi, General Manager, Retail Banking, and Jonathan Jane, AXA’s Country Manager, signed the agreement for the unique Hayatuna Health Insurance plan available in three variants targeted at the blue collar, salaried and affluent segments of society, offering annual coverage ranging from RO 25,000 to RO 250,000. The signing ceremony was attended by senior officials from Bank Muscat and AXA Insurance. The unique features of Hayatuna health insurance include treatment coverage for pre-existing conditions as well as chronic illnesses.
The insurance also facilitates direct billing from day one and can be availed for out-patient and in-patient treatment across a wide range of hospital network in Oman, the Indian sub continent and South East Asia. Amjad Hassan al Lawati, Head — Products and Service Management, said: ” Bank Muscat is proud to join hands with AXA Insurance and introduce the innovative health insurance for the first time in the country as well as the region. The Hayatuna health insurance, which offers medical coverage for individual customers, complements the public health system.
The unique product is in response to the genuine requirement for comprehensive individual health insurance plan. As the Sultanate’s flagship bank which accords priority to the needs of customers, the Hayatuna focus is to provide innovative services and products at competitive rates and in a transparent manner.” Customers can avail medical care at a range of hospitals in Oman and the region as soon as they sign up and receive the Hayatuna medical card. For the first time, the Hayatuna insurance also provides coverage for treatment relating to maternity complications and routine dental work etc.
In step with smarter strategies that provide a distinct customer service, Hayatuna has set a benchmark for bancassurance products in Oman, offering the right insurance plan tailor-made for specific customer needs. The Hayatuna products guarantee security and peace of mind to customers. Amjad Hassan al Lawati added: “The Hayatuna health insurance is another meaningful extension of the bank’s strong belief in family values. When someone is faced with an unexpected turn of events in life, what they need is a guaranteed support to tackle the challenges. The Hayatuna insurance addresses this critical need. Often we are not prepared for the unexpected. Perhaps, that is because we are optimistic about the future, but it pays to be prudent, especially when all that one needs to do is to pay an affordable premium to avail the unique product.” All Hayatuna products are available to both nationals and expatriates across the bank’s 138 branches spread across the Sultanate.
