Group Mediclaim Insurance Policy

A There’s more you can do for your employees than a salary. Taking care of their health with the help of a group health insurance plan can be the very thing they need. With Reliance General Insurance, you have a group mediclaim policy that’ll keep you and your employees happy.

When a group of individuals, generally those working in the same organisation, are covered under a single health insurance policy, it is known as a group health insurance.

Companies offer this as a perk to current and potential employees as a way to retain or attract them.

A group health insurance policy is an economical and efficient way to offer health coverage to an organisation's employees.

Benefits of Buying a Group Health Insurance Plan

Securing health insurance coverage for employees via a group mediclaim policy has several benefits. These benefits apply to both employees and employers alike. Take a look at the benefits of buying a group health insurance plan:

Helps employers maintain their manpower

Offering health insurance coverage for its employees is one of the most attractive perks they can give. Employees would always look for this benefit when they're looking to switch or whether they're deciding to stay.

Tax benefits for employers

Under Section 17 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 employers get tax deductions for payment of premiums towards group health insurance. “Profits in lieu of salary" is the clause that states the tax deductions that employers receive.

Employees get free health coverage

Since the premiums are paid by the employers, it effectively means that employees get free health insurance for themselves and, depending on the company, their dependents.

Better job satisfaction

A perk through a group health insurance is the slight job satisfaction and mental well-being boost. It'll keep employees or attract them to your organisation.

Key Features of Group Mediclaim Insurance Policy

Here's what your employees get under a group health insurance plan:

This covers a variety of treatments that require at least overnight hospitalisation. Medical procedures like surgeries which require a prolonged stay at the hospital are covered under a group health insurance.

Any expenses incurred during any procedures before the actual hospitalisation and even those that are required after the treatment are covered under a group mediclaim policy.

Illnesses that an employee had before issuing the group health insurance are covered. These include diseases like heart problems, diabetes, blood pressure, etc. No waiting period is imposed on employees unlike an individual health plan.

One of the primary benefits of an employee health insurance is the facility of cashless treatments. Cashless treatments can be availed at network hospitals where the medical bills are settled between the insurer and the hospital. Having cashless treatments eases the ordeal that an employee goes through in the unfortunate event of a hospitalisation.

Some group health insurance plans offer the option to include spouses and children too. This is an additional benefit that will keep employees happy and relieved that their family is covered with a health insurance.

Why Every Organisation Should Buy a Group Medical Insurance?

As stated earlier, there are many benefits an employers can reap by purchasing a group mediclaim plan. This not only benefits employers but even employees benefit from it. Given the importance of a group health insurance, here are some advantages of buying one:

My Employer is taking care of my Health Insurance and so I do not need one

Group health insurance is affordable

In today's day where almost every company is offering medical insurance coverage for its employees, you don't want to be left behind. Therefore, it is imperative that you find the most economical way to cover your employees. So rather than depending on individual policies, a group health insurance plan will prove more affordable than the former option.

Extend coverage to family members

Employees can experience some kind of mental peace when they know that their family - be it a spouse, kids, or parents - are covered with health insurance. Depending on the group health insurance policy, employees can include their dependents too.

PEDs are covered from day 1

Generally health insurance plans come with waiting periods ranging from the initial 30-day waiting period to the longer waiting period for pre-existing diseases. In a group health insurance plan, there are no waiting periods and even pre-existing diseases are covered from the day the policy is issued.

My Employer is taking care of my Health Insurance and so I do not need one

Employees get free coverage

The primary benefit for employees is the benefit of free health coverage. Since all payment of premiums are borne by the organisation, employees can rest easy knowing they've got their health covered.

It keeps employees happy

Ultimately, all the perks of an employee health insurance leads to this, that is, a sense of security in times of a medical crises. It'll keep them happy and motivated to continue.

What Should an Organisation Consider Before Buying a Group Health Insurance Plan?

Before buying a group mediclaim policy, an employer should keep certain factors in mind. This will help them get an affordable health plan that will benefit employees the most. So, here are some factors to consider before buying a group health insurance plan:

Useful Benefits

The most important part of selecting group health insurance is finding out whether it has benefits that will prove useful to the employees. Having such a health plan will bring that added delight to an organisation's employees.

Coverage and Premium Amount

The best group mediclaim policy will offer valuable benefits while being economical at the same time. Therefore, an employer should consider premium amounts and how much the sum insured will be.

Network Hospitals

One of the most vital deciding factors to selecting a group health insurance plan, or even an individual health insurance, is the number of network hospitals. More number of network hospitals means employees can avail cashless treatments easier. Thus, you can make it smoother for employees to deal with emergency treatments with a group health insurance that has more number of network hospitals.

Service

Another deciding factor in buying a group health insurance policy is the service the insurer provides. Are they quick in providing resolutions? How is the claim process? Do they have a good track record in servicing its clients? Check online reviews of the insurer and its claim settlement ratios to understand how they deal with its customers.

What is the Difference Between a Group Health Insurance Plan and an Individual Health Insurance Plan?

Health insurance plans for groups and individuals share some similarities while being vastly different in whom they serve. The primary purpose remains the same, however, that is to provide health coverage. Here are the main differences at a glance:

Individual Health Insurance

An individual health insurance plan is a policy that is purchased by a person to insure themselves from paying high medical expenses and hospitalization bills.
You can buy a health policy for yourself, or your spouse, or children, or even for your elderly parents. The premium rate is calculated based on policyholder's age, gender, medical history, and much more. You should know that premium paid in this type of health plan can be expensive.
However, in such plans, you can get a more comprehensive cover that will target your personal needs. You can also avail add-ons to enhance your coverage.

Group Health Insurance

As the name suggests, group health insurance plans are purchased when a group of people wants to get insured. These are more common in the corporate world where employers buy this plan for their staff.
But social groups, sports teams, and joint families can also buy this health plan. The premium is calculated based on the size of the group, the industry the company operates in, demographics of the people involved, and much more. Buying a plan for a group will reduce the premium rates but it will also reduce some of the benefits that you would typicallly get in an individual health plan.
