ALC Health has launched an online quote-and-buy facility for organisations to purchase international health insurance on behalf of employees.

Employers can also refer staff directly to the website to arrange the cover for themselves. Visitors to the website are able to buy the cover instantly, 24 hours a day.

Andrew Apps, director at ALC Health, said: “We have taken the decision to offer an instant buy online facility because of the nature of our business and our international clientele.

“Customers from around the world, and from within any time zone, can now go online to buy their medical insurance and get instant cover. This avoids waiting for a call-back, sometimes not until the next day because of time differences, as well as cutting out the need to fax agreements to us.”
