Professional Investment Services (PIS) has unveiled a joint venture initiative designed to substantially speed up the time it can take to conduct specialist medical assessments for large sums insured and high new worth clients.
The dealer group’s joint venture partner is Health Predications, a company that provides pathology, paramedical and medical assessments for the life insurance industry.
The new service is intended to provide time-efficient medical care and specialist assessments for large sums assured and high net worth clients, with specialist medicals organised to be completed in a few days rather than in weeks or months, according to PIS.
PIS advisers will be provided with an exclusive link with Health Predictions so clients can receive speedy medical care, as well as a wide range of other medical services such as:
- Blood tests
- Electrocardiograms
- Exercise stress tests
- Echocardiograms
- Lung function tests
- Blood pressure checks
- Specialist assessments
PIS Chief Executive Officer, Robbie Bennetts, said “…this joint venture with Health Predictions will pioneer an addition to financial advisory services that will become the national benchmark for other groups to follow.”
Mr Bennetts also suggested a flow-on benefit to the adviser: “By providing ready access to quality specialist medical services we can help protect the health and investment futures of our clients and, subsequently, the financial future of the many advisers in our network.”
The program is now available through PIS’ national adviser network and may also become available in New Zealand and Singapore in the future.
