Southern Cross Health Society has recently won a number of awards, reflecting their focus on member experience, its head of member services says.
Southern Cross Health Society recently won the Gold Award in the Health Insurance category at the Reader’s Digest New Zealand Quality Services Awards and received the only five star rating across the board in a Canstar Blue health insurance survey.
The health society was also awarded the Silver Award for Customer Service in NZ and the Industry Sector Award for Member Support Services at the CRM Awards in 2015.
“We’re delighted that our members are happy and vocal about the high level of customer service they receive,” says head of member services Anthony McPhail.
“As a not-for-profit membership-based society, our members are our priority and we’re committed to investing in products and services that deliver genuine benefits to them,”
“When your health is at stake, prompt, transparent and convenient service is paramount – and what our members expect.”
He said a large part of making this happen has been investing in digital services which ensures seeking information and claiming is as easy as possible.
“Electronic claiming now represents 67% of all claims by volume received which shows us that members want to use their policy at their convenience. We’ve listened to our members and have a strong focus on growing and improving our digital services, creating solutions that make our member experience quick and easy.”
“Despite this digital focus, we haven’t forgotten the personal touch and have an award winning contact centre available for members who still prefer to get in touch in traditional ways,” says McPhail.
