Medibank and Sigma Healthcare, owner of the Amcal pharmacy brand, have announced a three-year partnership.
The partnership will kick-off in the first half of 2018 with the rollout of customer offers for private health insurance and other insurance products for Amcal customers, and pharmacy products and services for Medibank customers.
Medibank chief customer officer David Koczkar said he was excited about the partnership’s potential.
“Amcal is a leading pharmacy brand in Australia and a brand that has enormous recognition and trust with consumers,” said Mr Koczkar.
"While we’re excited to bring unique offers and rewards to Amcal and Medibank customers, it’s the potential for us to collectively develop health and wellbeing programs for our customers that’s a game changer.
“When Medibank customers need to go to a pharmacy, we want to be right there with them, working with Amcal to look after their health needs and making their health journey easier,” he said.
Sigma general manager merchandise and marketing Sarah Pizzey, said, “Amcal and Medibank are very aligned in our focus on supporting improved community health outcomes. We both have a number of exciting customer health programs and significant health expertise, so joining forces makes a lot of sense. While the size of both brands means we can put together great customer offers and rewards, it also gives us the potential to make a real positive difference to the health of our customers.”
