Aetna Global Benefits and Goodhealth Worldwide Recognized as International Private Healthcare Insurer of the Year

-- Combined organization receives leading industry award from International Private Healthcare News -- 

Recently, the combined organization of Aetna Global Benefits (AGB) and Goodhealth Worldwide was named the 2008 International Private Healthcare Insurer of the Year by Private Healthcare News. This industry award was presented at an awards gala during the recent International Travel Insurance Conference in Budapest, Hungary.

“Receiving this award is truly an honor, as the nomination and voting are based on how we are perceived by our colleagues in the industry,” said Debra Williams, AGB managing director, Europe. “It also provides further validation to our continuing achievements and commitment to the European region over the previous year.”

Private Healthcare News, and its sister publication International Travel Insurance Journal (ITIJ), are read by many of the most influential individuals in the travel and international health insurance industry today. Both publications’ subscribers had the opportunity to vote for their top-rated company in each of the nominated categories. An independent judging panel ultimately decided on the winners from a short list of finalists, based on the number of initial subscriber votes.

“Our organization’s history paints an elaborate picture of continuous growth, innovation and dedication, all of which have become the foundation for our day-to-day business,” said Andrew Apps, AGB Sales & Business Development Director, Europe. “Our diverse products and services are tailored to meet the unique needs of globally mobile populations, helping multinational employers attract and retain qualified employees for international assignments.”

Recently, the organization expanded its offerings in the European region to include a suite of products and programs designed for European-based multinational corporations looking for large-group expatriate benefits coverage. This offering is unique in that it is comprised of European-style medical benefits, as have been available through Goodhealth, but also linked with Aetna Global Benefits’ suite of comprehensive programs and first-class services.
