Challenges

In many countries, private medical insurers are facing challenges on multiple fronts:

1. Lack of top-line customer growth.
2. Younger customer cohorts unconvinced by existing propositions.
3. Comparison sites driving a price-led market, coupled with high churn rates.
4. Spiralling medical inflation due to new technology increasing the price of procedures, devices and appliances.

5. Operating expense ratios remain high for all but the largest insurers with scale.

    

The future

There are a number of themes that can deliver a next-generation experience for customers of medical insurers:

1. Offer a solution to fund cosmetic surgery, via Pluto's Lay-buy solution.
2. Offer a solution to younger, low risk customers that allows them to self-insure using Pluto's Stash solution, whilst providing them a pathway to traditional insurance as they age.
3. Offer a solution to multi-generational family groups, whereby health risk is absorbed and funded through a family self-insurance pool.
4. Offer a solution to customers that funds non-insured services and treatments that reward a customer for staying healthy and fit.
5. Offer a solution that resembles a health marketplace, to support your customer journey's regardless of their insured status.

6. Offer a virtual card solution which allows you to retire your physical card fleet and deliver a modern virtual card solution to lower costs, improve card security, and deliver a digital-first experience for your customer interactions.

Our USP

Our USP is that we make healthcare more accessible and affordable, by integrating healthcare funding solutions, healthcare record management, and healthcare marketplace technology, on a SaaS basis. For licensees of our technology, we remove the capital cost and project risk of building a similar solution internally which for many enterprises is outside of their area of expertise. We bring new sources of revenue, and deliver new customer experiences on a pay-per-user basis, enabling true retail healthcare.
