Aon is the insurance brokerage firm that in 2015 won a tender by the Teachers Service Commission to administer the teachers’ health insurance scheme, and last year won a similar tender from the National Police Service Commission. The health cover for both the police and teachers is jointly provided by a consortium of three insurers – AAR, Jubilee and UAP. We have come to realise that a number of health providers we contracted are engaging in fraud. The expensive hospitals we have listed are to be approached only for referral cases, not primary health care,” said Mr Kegonde. In the financial statement, the insurer said that despite recording a full year growth in gross written premiums, a surge in claims especially from health cover, decimated its profits.
