Insurancewith are proud to announce that Insurance Times have presented us with the Broker Innovation of the Year 2013 award! Below is a video interview of us. It was filmed shortly after winning the award.
Shortlisted with four other brokers, each individual nominee presented their product to a judging panel of insurance industry peers and experts. Whilst it’s a great honour to be on the shortlist, actually winning was a real seal of approval. It’s great when you get acknowledgement and recognition from your peers in the industry, as well as your customers. It shows that you’re doing something special and successful.
Insurancewith has been created specifically to help people with medical conditions obtain travel insurance at very competitive rates. We provide policies developed by people who have personal experience of both cancer and developing travel insurance policies for those who have already been diagnosed. Our underwriters ensure they look at the actual risk, rather than the perceived risk associated with the medical condition. This realistic approach to travel insurance has enabled us to secure much better rates for our customers.
As many of our original customers will know, we were launched in 2010 by Fiona Macrae, founder of Insurepink. The aim was to develop a product that offered affordable travel insurance for people with all types of medical conditions. Fiona created Insurancewith after successfully breaking new ground with her Insurepink product for those suffering with breast cancer. Fiona saw a real need for a product which covered all medical conditions. This included rare genetic diseases and all types of cancers at affordable premiums.
Over the last 12 months Insurancewith has developed an innovative and bespoke 121 screening system for those customers who cannot tick all the boxes. Many of our customers find they cannot answer tick box questionnaires because their medical situation is too complex. There may also be unrelated factors which could not be taken into consideration by an on-line medical screening system. This is why our award winning 121 screening option is so important. It enables us to offer affordable travel insurance quotes to those struggling to find cover.
