Once a policyholder submits a question, they will receive confirmation and then will be provided with a response via a secure email containing a link to the relevant answer.

Moreover, the tool will also allow people with AXA PPP healthcare international private health insurance (http://www. axappphealthcare. co. uk/index. html (http://www. axappphealthcare. co. uk/index. html)) to authorise their treatment on the site through a secure contact method, by completing a form with the relevant details and submitting it to the company online. Once the treatment authorisation form has been sent through, a confirmation receipt will be sent, following which a link to the policyholder's pre-authorisation will be emailed via a secure server.

In addition, the 'Ask us a Question' feature also allows people who have made claims on their
