Asteron Life’s disability insurance customers now have access to the Best Doctors service at no extra cost.
The service provides the company’s policyholders and their immediate family with access to psychologists and psychiatrists in addition to online consultations with GPs.
Graham Hill, Executive Manager Life Distribution at Asteron Life, says the firm has also put together an expanded Best Doctors service for advisers to offer their customers alongside its disability products.
The insurer is offering advisers training webinars to learn more about the service.
“I encourage all the advisers who work with us to register now for one of our training sessions or contact your BDM if you have any questions about how Best Doctors can benefit your clients,” says Hill.
He says that in the current Covid-19 environment, mental health support and the ability to get expert medical advice online is particularly relevant.
