AXA Health’s roots date back to 1940, when doctors and hospitals partnered to create a scheme aimed at helping people of average income access good medical care. The original organisation was known as the Association for Hospital Services or a similar name this puts emphasis that the firm began as a clinician led medical provider rather than a general insurer. Over the decades the business evolved and expanded and adopted wider roles in private health insurance and wellbeing services in the UK.
AXA Health is part of the wider AXA Group giving it strong backing and global infrastructure; previously the business was known as AXA PPP Healthcare in the UK. However in recent years the brand consolidated under “AXA Health” to align its identity across health and wellbeing rather than just as a private medical insurance provider.
