Claim settlement ratio is a bad metric. It doesn't convey the frustrations of many people who claim insurance. If you claimed an insurance of 100rs , the insurer might only pay out 80rs and still call it settled. In a recent health insurance claim we were left frustrated to see items like blood glucose test and diet charges getting rejected despite having previously had them reimbursed in the same policy. If 10 people claim insurance for 100 rs and each receives 80rs pay out, The claim settlement ratio will still be 100%, but the i doubt if 100% of the policy holders will be satisfied customers. A better metric would be to disclose the 'Amount of claim aurhorised' , which in this case would be a poor 80%

OPD coverage can reduce the large ticket hospitalisation claims being received/ handled by Insurers in the country. May be India is an exceptional country where the importance of OPD and Family Doctor (General Physician) is not being apprecaited. My views on BT Money Today (on Aug 07, 2024) will result in beginning of new era in Indian Health Insurance industry . The views are: If OPD (Outpatient Department) services are allowed liberally by insurers then individuals can visit doctors (family doctor or general physician), take necessary medications, and receive treatment without the need for hospitalization.

Buy a Health Insurance Policy before it’s too late !!!! Below report shows how India is experiencing a surge in critical illness ( Cancer ) cases in the coming years. As a responsible Health Insurance Advisor, it’s high time, we keep educating people around us on how Health Insurance is a savings protection plan and no more an expense or just a 80-D benefit cover.
