AXA Gulf, one of the top five insurers in the GCC, has launched its online medical provider locator service in the region, enabling customers to locate a provider from the convenience of their computer or smart phones.

The new AXA locator comes with best-in-class features that enables customers to find the list of preferred providers in real time across UAE, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait, Middle East & Africa and US.

In a step that reinforces its market leadership and competitive advantages in the insurance sector across the Middle East, the new AXA locator not only offers customers a quick and easy access to the medical provider network but also caters to their special healthcare requirements at that point in time.

The system is hugely beneficial as customers no longer have to depend on paper-based provider lists, with the Google maps providing the perfect geographic location to help identify the nearest provider.

The customers can search for providers along various set criteria, including country, city, type of hospital/ clinic, specialty and/ or their names.

The launch of the AXA online medical provider locator comes close on the heels of its decision to launch the online medical insurance service – aimed at offering customers the option to complete their purchase online 24x7 from any part of the world, without the hassle of worrying about office hours, traffic or queues.
