AXA Mansard Health Keeps Focusing On Customers Amid Rising Inflation
According to him: “the economic environment has really been challenging and as the biggest player in the Health Insurance space, we are probably the most impacted. As inflation was growing, the cost of care was rising with it. But rather than reneging on our commitment to customers like most providers are doing, we decided to stay true to our words and our value customer-first, even when this commitment comes at a cost to us”.
“We now sitting down with our customers to review the situation and because of the sacrifices we have made on their behalf, the conversation around pricing services have been much more fruitful. We expect to start seeing the impact of these discussions from Q4, 2022“, Adeniyi explained.
He noted that the commitment from customers stems from the different cost-optimization solutions the company presented to them.
“We didn’t just go to our customers and say inflation is high, we need to reprice our services accordingly. No. We leveraged our prior investment in technology to optimize cost everywhere possible. So by the time we presented to our customers, they saw us as that partner deeply understanding and commitmented to them. So the conversation is easier“.
“And to also add more value to them, we are introducing new add-ons to our services. We have entered into amazing new partnerships, particularly around wellness and preventive health and our digitization projects in telemedicine, health records, mental health services amongst others are some added benefits.
So if you look at it, even with our new approach to cost, our customers will still get more“.
