APRIL Asia

What APRIL Asia does

APRIL Asia is the Asia-Pacific regional operating subsidiary of APRIL International, itself a brand under France-based APRIL Group, a diversified insurance conglomerate founded in 1983. The subsidiary markets and administers international health insurance products under the MyHealth brand across eight Asia-Pacific and Middle East markets — Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, China, and the UAE — with regional headquarters in Hong Kong and Singapore. Core products include country-localized long-term expat plans (MyHealth Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, China, UAE), the Pallas Health plan in Hong Kong, short-term travel and working-holiday cover (MyTravel Cover), corporate assignment cover (MyBusiness Travel), and student insurance (MyStudies Cover), supplemented by a local Hong Kong product (Pallas Health).

The technology backbone is the Easy Claim mobile app, which enables digital policy enrollment, photo-based claims submission, telehealth consultations, digital insurance card access, and direct chat with advisers. APRIL Asia monetizes through recurring insurance premiums distributed via three channels: 100% online direct-to-consumer enrollment for individuals, a corporate sales team for SMEs, large corporations, NGOs, and international organizations, and broker/intermediary partnerships for distribution into schools, universities, and specialist segments. Underwriting risk is carried by partners including Groupama Gan Vie (medical) and CHUBB European Group SE (repatriation, liability, travel incidents), with clinical service delivery extended through partnerships with Teladoc Health (Second Medical Opinion across 50,000+ specialists) and Global Excel (US network of 690,000 doctors, 6,000+ hospitals, 68,000+ pharmacies).

APRIL Asia operates as part of a 300+-employee global APRIL International workforce and draws on a network of 4,500+ healthcare professionals across Asia and 4,000+ panel providers in Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand, alongside the parent's broader 2+ million partner healthcare professionals across 180+ countries. The business has won industry recognition including the 2024 Health & Protection Awards (Best International Individual Health Insurance Provider) and four consecutive years of 5-star service ratings, while serving 180,000+ policyholders globally through the wider APRIL International brand.
