The company offers Medicare Insurance platform to CUNA Mutual Group, which is said to serve 95% of credit unions and 30 million consumers.
This Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the critical importance of Medicare insurance for seniors and accelerated the trend towards centralised call centres as opposed to the traditional way of serving insurance through in-person insurance agents, noted Coverance.
The proceeds from the financing will be used by Coverance to support its future growth strategy in the US Medicare insurance market, which is estimated at over $24bn.
