Healthcare cost management
Groupe ASCOMA takes into account issues related to healthcare systems on the African continent. Therefore, we offer innovative solutions in partnership with local insurance companies.
Aware of the company’s health concerns, ASCOMA has set up an ASCOMA Healthcare division (the PACTILIS network) that allows companies to offer their employees a mutual fund. The access to healthcare through a better management of healthcare costs is to date unique in sub-Saharan Africa. Its services include access to a third-party payment system (no advance fees for beneficiaries, no management of reimbursement files for companies), an approved network of medical providers equipped with a dedicated and computerized reception allowing access to care for all, in addition to advice and technical assistance available at all times, and an audit, analysis and monitoring of health plans. It should be noted that the agreed rates are granted by the health structures accredited in our network, allowing a significant reduction in costs and a better control of the healthcare plans budget.
Travel while being insured
ASCOMA gives its members an international card with a barcode that can be read by an optical scanner to verify the patient’s eligibility to benefit from the third-party payment system. This card, which is particularly useful for insured persons who have to travel regularly, is valid abroad in the event of hospitalization or outpatient care under the same conditions as those of the country of residence. Only ASCOMA offers this service in Africa.
Safely
In order to avoid identity theft and prevent third-party payment access to uninsured persons, ASCOMA offers access to the ASCOMA Health database in real time. In this way, health care providers can instantly verify the applicant’s status as a beneficiary. Access to the ASCOMA health database also makes it possible to read in real time the coverage and exclusions of the plan. In a growing number of countries, the system identifying and managing claims is carried out using a biometric framework for enhanced security.
