Chubb, HealthAtom expand dental protection in Latin America

---

On July 26, Chubb and HealthAtom announced an alliance to offer comprehensive dental health care protection for patients across Latin America. Through the alliance, individual clients and corporate groups will have access to digital, comprehensive and easy-to-contract dental protection products. 

According to a news release, the innovative digital insurance will optimize coverage and deliver lasting value to customers through their preferred channels.

Chubb, a leading global property and casualty insurer with operations in nine Latin American countries, will be the preferred insurance partner for HealthAtom’s ecosystem in the region. HealthAtom, a Chilean healthtech focused on improving the efficiency of health care providers in Latin America through software-as-a-service (SaaS) technology, will be Chubb’s preferred partner for dental-related services in the region, which will be available to the insurer’s customers and business partners.

In the news release, Marcos Gunn, senior vice president, Chubb Group, and regional president, Chubb Latin America, said that the alliance with HealthAtom represents a crucial step in providing greater access and protection to consumers across Latin America. 

“Working in partnership with HealthAtom, we are committed to driving a cultural shift towards preventive healthcare in our countries,” he said. “Our clients and strategic partners can benefit from the great infrastructure and ecosystem of services and management that HealthAtom has built for health care providers and clinics throughout the region. Our shared vision is to deliver a cost-effective, tailored product that meets the dynamic and evolving needs of our clients.”

José María Iruretagoyena, chief fintech officer of HealthAtom, said that the unique alliance provides people across Latin America with access to dental insurance that protects and restores their smile, through the region’s most extensive network of professionals powered by the company’s cutting-edge Dentalink software. 

“We will equip dental health care offices with the necessary technological tools that enable them to focus on delivering high-quality dental services,” he said in the news release. “The partnership with Chubb exemplifies our commitment to innovation, service excellence and continuous improvement. This agreement will allow us to integrate Chubb’s expertise in risk management, data analysis, technology, claims service and digital know-how, thus enriching our platform and ecosystem.”

Founded in 2012, HealthAtom is present in more than 20 countries, with more than 13,000 health care centers and more than 60,000 health care professionals using the Dentalink platform. In 2022, the company managed more than 45 million unique appointments, during which dental treatments worth USD$1.5 billion were performed. Thanks to this performance, the company positioned itself as a leader in the Latin American SaaS healthtech industry and now seeks to consolidate its Dentalink platform as the preferred cloud-based operations system for dental centers of all sizes.

The alliance will start in Chile, and during 2024 it is expected to expand to Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama and Peru.

Chubb’s global integration technology platform, Chubb Studio, is the engine behind alliances with companies like HealthAtom and enables its partners to develop new insurance product offerings quickly and easily within their own digital ecosystems.
