      Claims and Underwriting Innovation Forum 2021

      COVER Claims and Underwriting Innovation Forum will investigate the most innovative claims and underwriting practices driving the protection and health insurance market forward. It bears repeating; at the heart of every policy is a human being. As technologies advance and digital capabilities expand, it is crucial that the needs of the customer do not get lost along the way. A personal touch must remain at the centre of every interaction an individual has with an insurance company, either directly or through an intermediary. Hence, this journey is about evolution not revolution.28th April, Digital Conference

      Access to Insurance Webinar: Write it, refer it… don’t ignore it

      Access to insurance has been one of the protection industry’s primary focus points since BIBA introduced the agreement to help make protection insurance more widely available in January last year. While much good work has been done to further the cause, there is still a long way to go before signposting can be considered as a common practise. This webinar, in partnership with Royal London and featuring a cross-section of expert speakers, will examine some of the key elements of protection insurance signposting, including the role of communication between insurers and intermediaries, how industry participants can access the right information to signpost effectively, and the growing recognition of mental health challenges for access to insurance.

      Health Insurance Live 2021

      The COVER Health Insurance Live event will examine how the health insurance industry is mobilising for change both during the pandemic and beyond: How have health insurers responded the many challenges brought about by the Covid-19 crisis and what’s next for the market? What opportunities are out there for healthcare intermediaries and how can they make the most out of rising private medical insurance (PMI) demand? As part of this fully interactive digital conference experience, we will also be introducing the Recognising Healthcare Innovation Awards, a new set of awards to commemorate the leading players of the health insurance sector.
