Asteron Life upgrades telehealth for customers and advisers

The new Asteron Life Connected Care package expands on Asteron Life's previous expert virtual medical care benefit, Best Doctors, and offers access to dietitians, fitness professionals, medical specialists, as well as GP’s for general questions, mental health support, and advice on navigating the New Zealand mental health system.

The additional offering is available free of charge to all new and existing Asteron Life customers with eligible disability insurance, trauma cover and cancer cover, as well as their partner, children, parents and parents-in-law. The service is provided in partnership with Teladoc Health, a US virtual healthcare company which operates in Australia and New Zealand.

The service is also available to eligible insurance advisers. To qualify for the service, advisers only need in-force business with Asteron Life. Once qualified, advisers can sign up through the online portal.

Asteron Life executive general manager Grant Willis says, “I encourage all advisers who work with us to register for the service themselves and contact your BDM if you have any questions about how Asteron Life Connected Care can benefit you and your clients.”
