Aetna partners with Neuron

At Aetna International, we’re working hard to reshape health care across the globe — and one of the best ways to do that is to partner with organisations that complement our innovative approaches and technology with their own.

In keeping with that mission, we’ve launched a partnership with Neuron, a leading third-party administrator in the UAE, to broaden our regional product range and develop a robust customer proposition. The collaboration will make it easier for brokers to do business with us and meet client needs through a wider range of solutions.

“This new collaboration aligns with our shared vision of building a healthier world and commitment to affordable health care access for our members wherever they go,” says David Healy, General Manager, EMEA, Aetna International. “By combining our experience and scale with Neuron’s in-depth knowledge of health care providers, we are well-positioned to offer members and customers simplicity, reassurance, added value and trusted relationships.”

About Neuron

Established in 2001, Neuron is locally owned and licensed to operate in the UAE with headquarters in Dubai Silicon Oasis. Boasting a 95 percent client retention ratio and 0.2 percent complaint ratio, the company has earned several MENA Insurance Review (MENAIR) awards, including a 2018 commendation in the ‘Claims Management Services Provider’ category.

Neuron offers 24/7 multilingual member services, an extensive medical network with more than 3,000 providers in the UAE and GCC, and 24/7 preauthorisation and case management with fast turnaround times. The company makes it easy to submit claims online, by email or by mobile app.

Aetna and Neuron collaboration will help Aetna to broaden its regional product range and develop a robust customer proposition.
