Insurers' Proposals to UNASHIG Members for Health Insurance Cover, 2017-2018


On April 28, 2017, UNASHIG invited fifteen insurers to bid for Don-driven medical insurance cover for members of the University of Nairobi Academic Staff Health Insurance Group. Out of these 15, six responded with proposals with varying levels of detail, even though they had been invited to respond with specific reference to 24 identified parameters (click here to read the parameters). One additional insurer (UAP) submitted only a pro-forma quotation. All these add up to seven insurers who responded in some some fashion to the UNASHIG call. 

Two additional insurers (Liberty and Apollo) wrote back either promising to respond or asking for further details (which were essentially covered in the 24-parameter call). Eventually, neither of them submitted a bid. Yet another, AAR, wrote to ask a number of detailed questions, which were responded to and copied to the other insurers in order specifically to maintain a level-playing field. But in the end AAR did not submit a proposal within the stipulated and subsequently extended deadline, which came to an end noon on May 11, 2017.

There is a lot of reading to do, but we should all read these submissions very carefully, share our thoughts on WhatsApp and form our individual and collective opinions as we await the insurers' face-to-face presentations to us.
