In the meantime 1/2

• Review of Allianz Worldwide Care (AWC)

proposal with:

• CERN Legal Service
• Chairman of the CHIS
• CERN Medical Service
• The concept of “urgent care” is perceived as

a major risk for the sustainability of this scheme by these experienced stakeholders

• This is confirmed by NATO HQ in Brussels

(which are AWC customers)

In the meantime 2/2

• Early November, AWC and brokers were asked

to review their proposal based on these new requirements

that shall be carefully looked at

Conclusion

• We are progressing slowly but safely:
• There are not many insurance companies interested in

providing such a service

• We shall safeguard the only one who is still interested in
• ffering this very unusual insurance service
• But we shall absolutely set up a scheme that fulfills

sustainability and diversity requirements

• New tentative date for service into operation:

Early March 2014
