The new products enable Rey’s Members to personalize services with the level of cover that best matches their needs. Rey’s products are linked to the Company’s proprietary cashless claims system, eliminating the tedious admission and discharging process at all healthcare providers. The claim system includes ReyCard, a debit card that enables Rey’s Members to make payment simply and immediately at any healthcare provider of choice, even outside the traditional hospital network. The combination of customizable products, cashless claims, provider flexibility, and the other optimizations the ecosystem provides delivers significant cost savings for Members compared to traditional insurance.
“Unlike most legacy insurers, Rey prioritizes outpatient products that are affordable and painless, complemented by our best value inpatient products, which all feature experience-centric care and wellness features into our end-to-end health solution,” said Evan Tanotogono, Rey CEO and Co-Founder. “We are grateful for the funding and expanded partnerships which support our mission to help improve health equity for all Indonesians while also shining a spotlight for other countries seeking to create a new paradigm for providing innovative insurance solutions for their population.”

This certification demonstrates Rey’s commitment to the quality use of its Members’ data in the Company’s proprietary end-to-end health and wellness ecosystem that integrates 360-degree EHR, claim database and analytics, and primary care system with pharmacy formularium management.
