LIC Health Insurance Policy To Earn Big Money
November 21, 2007 at 5:06 PM
Health Insurance News
The corporation is waiting for clearance for the product from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA). LIC is hoping to launch the policy by Jan 2008 and achieve its ambitious target.
According to D.D. Singh, executive director, LIC, the target of Rs.50 billion is achievable and LIC has achieved similar targets earlier. He is betting on LIC's army of one million agents, bank assurance partners, and its existing client base. The policy covers a mix of hospital expenses and lump-sum payment towards major surgeries. On the death of the policyholder, the balance in the investment fund goes to the nominee.
For claims processing, LIC has tied up with third party administrators (TPA) and banks. Once the TPAs process the claim, they would advice LIC on the claim's permissibility.
The life insurer in turn would advise banks to issue the claim cheque within 24 hours. Industry experts say health insurance is basically a game of distribution and life insurers are better placed vis-à-vis non-life players. They say there are around two million agents chasing individuals to sell life covers, whereas the number of non-life agents is far lower.
