Purchasing term Insurance, know the importance of claims
From the policyholder’s perspective, a life insurance ‘company’ must have a robust and streamlined claim settlement process in place. The sole purpose of a life insurance policy, especially term insurance is to provide financial support to the family in case of a mishap. Hence it is important that in case of an unfortunate event, your loved ones not just have the assurance of receiving the claim amount, but they also need to get it fast. In addition to the speed, the entire experience from the stage of applying for the claim to its payment should be convenient, simple and most of all transparent. Therefore, you must consider Claim Settlement Ratio and the claims experience of a life insurance company before making a decision to choose term insurance.

How to Compare Claims Ratio While Choosing Life Insurance?
How to Compare Claims Ratio While Choosing Life Insurance?
When you buy life insurance, you make a promise to your loved ones to protect them financially, even when you are not around. Having Life insurance will allow your loved ones to maintain their lifestyle, should anything happen to you. And Claim is the commitment that life insurance company makes to honour your promise to your loved ones. An Insurance plan becomes all the more critical if you are the sole breadwinner for your family.
However, the sheer number of life insurance plans available in the market is enough to confuse you on which policy to buy. While it is crucial that you be very clear about your financial objectives before buying an insurance policy, you must also factor in your current income along with the present and future liabilities. Once you’ve done that, you will be sure about which policy best suits your needs and how much you can afford to pay as premium. Buying a policy that offers the cheapest insurance premium amount isn’t always the best approach. You must thoroughly assess the claims paid record of the insurer too. Otherwise, even if you purchase the most affordable insurance plan and your dependents experience inconvenience at the time of claim payment, it defeats the whole purpose of insurance.
You must compare the claims payment process of an insurance company along with other factors such as Turn Around Time, Average value of Claim and the presence of a dedicated Claim Relationship Officer before purchasing life insurance. Here’s why.
1. Claims Paid Ratio: It is the number of approved/ paid claims divided by the total number of claims received. The Insurance Development Regulatory Authority of India (IRDAI) publishes data on Claim Paid Ratio of various insurance companies from time to time. Max Life Insurance has a claim Paid ratio of 98.74% for the year FY18-19 as per Annual Results Release FY18-19.
2. Turnaround Time (TAT): It is the time taken by an insurer to process a death claim.
A shorter Turnaround Time implies that the:
- Insurer’s claim payment process is efficient
- Policyholder had made full disclosure at the time of buying the policy
- The nominee has submitted all the required documents on time
3. Personalised Claims Relationship Officer: Personalised Claims Relationship Officers are appointed by insurance companies to facilitate the claim settlement process of life insurance plans.These officers assist the nominee throughout the claim’s settlement process taking care of the documentation and procedures to ensure the claim money is smoothly and timely withdrawn by the nominee.
