Testimonials

Currently I work at an International School in Angola so knowing you have immediate support with your medical insurance is very important. I feel very grateful for the very personal and caring support I have had from Tygate as I have dealt with a recent medical issue that has been a significant life challenge. All my insurance concerns have been taken care of, so the past 9 months my focus has been on healing without having any worries. The personal approach has been amazing with emails and telephone calls to ensure that everything was in place with treatment plans and assurances. I have had considerable support with claims and they have dealt directly with my insurance company on my behalf. Really amazing service and I am very grateful.

Rose ( Luanda International School. Angola. )

I wanted to write to thank you for the excellent care you have taken of the MIS staff during my time at the school. One area where staff have had absolutely no complaints is their health insurance. The medical care provided has been excellent and the service from the Tygate team has been outstanding. Please be assured that if I am ever in a position again where I can choose someone to provide our insurance, you will be the first call I make.
