There are various health insurance companies available in India. Hence, finding the best health insurance company can be a daunting task for anyone. We often buy a health insurance plan without doing research and choose a health plan that does not meet our coverage requirements. Hence, one way to find the best health insurance company available in India is to check the claim settlement ratio of health insurance companies.
Claim settlement ratio is one such aspect which tells us the claim settlement capability of an insurance company, and every health insurance company has a claim settlement ratio. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has published an annual report of all insurance companies, which contains all the information about health insurance companies such as solvency ratio, claim settlement ratio, market share, etc.
In the below article, we will discuss the HDFC Ergo claim settlement ratio in detail.
What is Claim Settlement Ratio (CSR)?
Claim Settlement Ratio (CSR) is the number of claims settled against the total number of claims filed in a financial year. For example, XYZ Company registered 1000 claims during a financial year, and it settled 950 of them, which means the claim settlement ratio of XYZ Company is 95%.
By checking the claim settlement ratio, we get to know about the claim settlement capability of the health insurance company. In simple words, the higher the Claims Settlement Ratio (CSR), the better the company can settle claims.
