“We understand that there is a valid need from the public for health insurance plans that really work, payment structures that do not burn a hole in people’s pockets, and customer service that addresses their most pressing concerns,”

“And that is why at Reliance HMO, we have built tailor-made insurance plans that ensure that individuals, families and organisations can stay healthy,” said Jide-Aribaloye.

She further explained that the health plans address the need of across range of customers in all levels.

“For as little as N3, 500 monthly, individuals can sign up to a health insurance plan that gives them an awesome cover with really incredible benefits. Furthermore, we are the first and only health insurer in Nigeria that gives enrolees the benefit and convenience of monthly payments.

“This ensures that everyone can have access to quality and affordable healthcare” added Jide-Aribaloye.

“It is atrocious that only 3 per cent of Nigerians are covered in the health insurance and the country even has more disease conditions than in more developed countries. Research shows that 50 per cent of families are at the risk of catastrophic financial situation, which means almost going bankrupt if they get a big enough health bill.

“Our focus is to help more Nigerians, get them enrolled in health insurance and access health care at a decent price” said Kuti.

According to Opeyemi Olumekun, chief operating officer, technology forms a crucial part of our business and operations.

“We are a Health Insurance company that acts like a technology company, using software, data science and telemedicine to make health insurance more affordable, easier to access and more of a delightful experience for our existing and prospective customers. Integrating technology into our operations also means that our entire customer experience support is top-notch and always available 24/7 via various channels.”

Customers can also look forward to the 24-hour Reliance Help Centre where friendly and highly-trained agents are always available to provide support and deal with urgent inquiries” said Olumekun.
