Accuro Transfers to UniMed
Accuro officially becomes part of UniMed. Accuro members become UniMed members.
From the date of transfer, Accuro no longer offers or underwrites insurance and ceases to be a licensed insurer.
From a member perspective, not much changes. Their health insurance cover and benefits remain exactly the same as their current Accuro policy, the difference is that UniMed is listed as the insurer on the policy.
Post Transfer
The Accuro Society Winds Up
The Accuro Health Insurance Society will continue to exist for a short time after transfer, but it will have no members and no license to offer insurance. The process to wind up the Society begins from 1 June, the date of transfer.
