PROGRESSIVE HEALTHCARE
Product Review Analysis October 2018
For our October 2018 Product Review, we’ve focused on one new exciting option for our Personal Health plan – Guided Option. This new option gives members more choice over how they access specialists.
As 2018 has been a year of significant legal and regulatory change for us all, we’ve also provided a reminder of what’s changed due to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Insurance Directive Initiative (IDD) and the impact this has on your clients.

The future of healthcare: How treatments will change
Healthcare is evolving and medical advancements seem to be pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. This month we’re casting our gaze to the future – asking the question, “What healthcare treatments are destined to become commonplace in the next ten years?”
With technology filtering in to every aspect of our lives already it’s no wonder it’s having a huge impact on the development of medicines and the delivery of treatment. But what might this look like, how will we be affected and, how might your clients be preparing for this?
