Laven

Providing access to the latest medical advances is often a matter of life and death. Unfortunately, in many cases, this access is extremely difficult due to financial limitations – innovative therapies and drugs are often not covered by the reimbursement program and their prices are an insurmountable barrier for individual patients. An additional limitation is the time in which the treatment must be started in order to bring the desired results.

Laven offers employers the opportunity to offer complementary group health insurance for their employees, providing access to the latest advances in medicine. The design of the offer is the result of extensive industry experience of the team and consultations with industry specialists and doctors, so it relates to the real needs of patients. Laven insurance complements the already available on the Polish market forms of treatments financing: National Health Fund, medical insurance and health subscriptions. The scope of insurance covers diagnosis (including consultation with leading world experts) and the treatment itself, using innovative medical technologies, not covered by the reimbursement in Poland.

The profitability of the project is based on the proper construction and pricing of the insurance packages. It is ensured by a proprietary actuarial algorithm, which makes it possible to accurately estimate the probability of an illness and the total cost of its treatment. Its construction, based on individual assessments of particular medical technologies, allows to develop precise risk estimates and valuations for individuals and group insurance. The applicability of the mathematical model is also in no way limited to Poland – after substituting a data package, the same algorithm can perform precise valuations also on foreign markets.
