P814 - PROGRAMME ON CLAIMS MANAGEMENT (HEALTH INSURANCE)

(NON-LIFE) 

(2024 - 25)

Background:

 

Health was always important. But the WHO initiatives and the UN Sustainable Development Goals could not achieve what Covid-19 did for ‘Health’.

 

§  As far as the state actors, regulators and insurers are concerned, the pandemic put the focus back on ‘People’: there is increased concern and agility the world over regarding insurance protection gap, and ‘Health’ dominates there.

§  As far as ‘People’ themselves are concerned, the pandemic has made them conscious of the need for protection around happiness, wellness, and health.

 

It’s precisely for the same reasons that the Health LOB [with 35% plus share in the overall non-life insurance GWP pie] has become the leading line of business in India.

This - combined with technological and medical advancements as well as the widening protection needs of the insuring population including those of the aware and strident millennials - has made Health Insurance a fertile field for feature play and innovation.

 

Given the above, Health Insurance Claims Management becomes a delicate domain where failure is not simply an option. It already was a muddled turf with moral hazard, multiple stakeholders, medical inflation, and the consequent margin pressure.  It’s a Catch-22 situation now. Health is where the top-line traction is. Claims Management will decide whether prospects are sealed or severed. It will decide whether business is fetched or forfeited. For the concurrent goals of penetration and profit, health claims management will have to do a continual tight-rope walking.  

The captioned programme will help participants in approaching and doing the requisite balancing act with information and incisiveness.
