Directions (Q. 151-160) : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/phrases have been printed in BOLD to help you locate them while answering some of the question. Health insurance policies were first Introduced in 1986 at a time when the Indian insurance industry was nationalised. The policies on offer were complicated to read and offered limited cover. There were no third party administrators operating in India, and there was no direct settlement of claims between health insurer and hospital. There were therefore issues concerning claims servicing, which involved an Insured following cumbersome procedures to get claims authenticated and paid. The business was not profitable for the nationalised Insurers, and not popular with the public at large. The original Mediclaim Policy, however, developed and in many cases has provided the base model for the health care insurance policies that were introduced immediately after liberalisation of the general insurance sector at the turn of the millennium. Health insurance, however, saw no specialist players until relatively recently. This is because there was a general expectation that the insurance industry regulator, the IRDA, would set a smaller capitalisation requirement for health insurers and/or amend the rules for foreign equity ownership in Indian Insurers in recognition of the fact that health insurance loss ratios were not good, and therefore finding an Indian partner to invest 76% in a health insurer would be a difficult task. The IRDA did not, however, relax either the capitalisation requirements or foreign investments caps. Initially, therefore, the health insurance market did not grow as quickly as may have been expected. Growth in policyholder numbers, more effective third party administration and an effective network of hospitals is expected to see the numbers improve. Other changes have been affected to encourage growth in this sector. Life insurers have been allowed to sell health insurance. Initially, life insurers were only allowed to sell certain types of health coves as a supplement to a life policy. However, the IRDA has allowed life insurers to sell pure health insurance products subjects to product specific approvals. The standard mediclaim policy has undergone several revisions and modifications. In recent years, private health insurers have been offering fresh products with increased covers and sums insured. Private hospital rates are still low compared to the rates charged in more developed countries, but high when compared to average Indian earnings. It is no longer uncommon for Indian employees to now expect that health care will be part of an employment package. With the opening up of the market to private competition, the claims process has become much less cumbersome. Support for a health insurance market has also come from some less obvious sources. Indian states have started relying on insurance policies to meet some of their legal obligations to provide health care to their citizens. The central government has also proposed the introduction of free health care insurance for the poor. This plan is meant to cover every poor family for INR 30,000 per annum. The central government will pay 75% of the premium, leaving the remaining 25% to be covered by state governments. The IRDA has also encouraged Micro-insurance as a means of extending the availability of health insurance to areas of the market that, geographically and economically, may not have been at the forefront of Insurers business plans. At the same time as the market grows, the IRDA is stepping in to create a more consumer friendly playing field, particularly as regards the treatment of senior citizens; the operation of the pre-existing diseases exclusion, and the reluctance of insurers to renew policies where the claims experience has been bad. Senior citizens had been complaining about the reluctance of Insurers to issue policies to them, and the inclusion of disadvantageous terms when policies were offered - such as hefty increases in premium rates, added exclusions and conditions, etc. In May 2007, the IRDA set up a committee on Health Insurance for Senior Citizens to make recommendations. The Committee reported in November 2007 and made the following main recommendations - Senior Citizens should have some assurance that their policies will be renewed; the Industry should adopt standard terms and conditions, such as for the definition of preexisting diseases. The Committee also said that policy wordings should be simpler for the lay person to follow, suggesting that uniform termonology be used by all Insurers to lessen confusion in the public mind. 151.
