Max Bupa Health Insurance Claim Settlement Ratio

The health claim settlement ratio is not a hard and fast rule to buy a health insurance plan. But it is recommended to check the claim ratio as it holds some stress over your final decision. The reason is that health insurance benefits like hospitalization expense cover, critical illness cover, sway you towards one policy over another and may not prove helpful if the insurer has a low health claim ratio.

The better the claim ratio of an insurer the higher the chances for your to reap the policy benefits. You also get some reassurance each time you pay your policy premiums that the insurer will settle the claim should there be an emergency.

Max Bupa Health Insurance Company Limited has a claim settlement ratio of 96% and anything above 90% is considered to be ideal. Let check out more about their claim process and the documents required.
