Quick Guide to Group Health Insurance

Definition of Group Health Insurance Policy

A group health insurance policy is essentially a mediclaim policy taken by an organization for its employees. A group medical insurance provides coverage to the whole group under one umbrella plan. Premium is paid by the organization. Organization can cover the employee and their direct dependents including spouse,children and parents. Such a plan can be customized depending upon the budget and requirements of the client.

Functioning of a Group Health Insurance Policy

Group health insurance scheme are offered as healthcare benefits to employees. A basic plan is selected for all the employees while members can choose to add dependents based on their requirement and policy conditions. A group health insurance acts in a distributed manner, wherein a larger group pays towards bearing health issues for the less fortunate ones. So, the premiums become less as overall risk taken by the insurance company is spread across the group, this reduces the scale of insurer’s liabilities.

Key Features of Group Health Insurance Policy

Some group health policies also allow addition of dependent parents.These health insurance policies provide cover for pre-existing ailments, maternity, day-care charges and even ambulance charges in some cases.

This also increases employee retention and sets the employer at par against other competitors in the eyes of the employees.

    • Purpose of a Group Health Insurance for Employees

It is generally purchased by organizations to provide additional medical coverage to their employees as an added benefit and the premium amount of the group medical insurance plan is paid by the employer.

    Difference between a Group Health Insurance Policy and an Individual Health Insurance Policy

    The primary difference between a group health insurance policy and an individual health insurance policy is the volume, i.e., a group insurance policy is bought for a set of people who are part of a group and thus the coverage is shared amongst that particular group of people under a certain condition. But an individual policy only covers one particular individual or a family. When we do bulk buying, like in the case of a group insurance policy, we are able to negotiate higher benefits at lower prices.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Most group health insurance policies that cover self and spouse offer a maternity benefit for both c-section and normal delivery. This coverage could be with or without a waiting period. Generally, a waiting period of 9 months could be applied. Typically, there is a sub-limit for maternity expenses under the overall sum assured. The sub-limit is set differently for normal and c-section deliveries. The sub-limit could range between Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 1 Lac.
    Group health insurances, as the name suggests, are bought by employers or organizations for their employees or a group of people. But your group insurance policy can be customized for individuals based on requirements.
    Group health insurance coverage for Non-ESI employees was never mandated by IRDAI. However, the Government had mandated group health insurance for employees only for the first 3 months during the lockdown to safeguard health and safety of the employees. However, this has become a market norm for employers to provide a group health insurance benefit because an attractive group health insurance plan helps attract talent into the organization.
    Group health insurances can be bought anytime based on your requirements and are renewed yearly. Generally, organizations after crossing the 10-employee mark, opt for a group health insurance policy. It is essential as an employer to safeguard the health and well-being of their employees; hence a group health insurance is a must.
    Getting group health insurance as an employer will always be cheaper owing to the distribution of risk and premium between a larger group. Group health insurances also offer a wider range of coverage for a nominal premium, while an individual health insurance policy may cost you a hefty sum and accompany a lot of clauses for availing benefits.

    What Our Customers Are Saying

    Alka Gupta

    My organization always bought health insurances directly from insurers. The renewal process and claim settlement was also tiresome for me as an HR. Since last year we've bought our health insurance policy from SecureNow. They not only helped us compare quotes and choose from those but also helped us with the claims.

    Nidhi Verma

    I am an HR and we've been working with SecureNow for 3 years now. SecureNow provides a lot of value added services such as wellness sessions and webinars and our employees also have had good experience with the SecureNow team.

    Sucheta Katiyar

    Registering for claims via the SecureNow App is very easy. SecureNow had organized an employee orientation session for our employees to explain about the health insurance benefits where they introduced us to their App. Now we have registered for the App and each one of us is using it to record claims and track claims.
