While the prevalence of health infrastructure and the technological advancements in medical field may offer a succor, they do not completely substitute for health insurance. The insurance sector in India which initially covered certain areas like life, motor, marine insurance is gradually making rapid strides to cover the exclusive health risks contingent on human lives. Health insurance premiums have been registering a significant CAGR of 24.6 per cent in the preceding ten years. The Gross health insurance premium underwritten which was R 2221 crore in the year 2005-06 has increased to R 20,096 crore by 2014-15. The number of lives covered under Health insurance policies during FY 2014-15 was 28.80 crore. As per the Census of India 2011, the population of India was 121.02 crore. As such, assuming that only one policy has been issued to one person, it may be estimated that approximately 24 per cent of India’s total population has been covered under any of the health insurance policies during the FY 2014-15. It is projected that the non life industry has the potential to reach R 4, 80,000 crore of Gross Written Premium by 2025. With about 25% market share in the non life industry at present, the health insurance segment has a significant role in covering various sections of Indian population who are otherwise insurable, but not covered with any health insurance scheme. With a projected insurable population of about 1 billion for health insurance by 2025, the average life expectancy expected to be reaching 74 years by 2020 (from the existing 66 years) and about 75% of medical expenses of average households at present being met out of pocket, it is widely considered that health insurance has a rewarding role to play. Report of the committee on India Vision 2020 constituted by the then Planning Commission in its report in December 2002 has already recognized that health insurance can play an invaluable role in improving health care system in India. With the draft ‘National Health Policy of 2015’ targeting to influence the growth of the private health care industry and medical technologies to ensure alignment with public health goals; it is expected that there will be significant development in the availability of health infrastructure. Availability of health infrastructure also spurs the demand for health insurance. With an increase in the number of non-life insurers, there has been a significant improvement in the product innovation in the health insurance segment. Innovation in product development also offers ample opportunity to various categories of the population to get covered with much needed and specific health insurance solutions. Products are being brought out by various players for various non communicable diseases such as diabetes, cancer etc. The demand for specific health insurance solutions also leads to product innovation, which in turn enhances the penetration of health insurance. During the year 2014-15, under various Governments sponsored health insurance schemes (including RSBY) 21.25 crore lives (provisional figures) were covered. This is a potential market base down the line. When income earning capacity of these persons improves they will turn as the potential market segment to buy the voluntary insurance from the insurance companies. Under these circumstances; keeping in view both the need and the potentiality of the sector, Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act, 2015 recognized Health Insurance as a class of business enabling the incorporation of standalone health insurance companies. Section (6) (c) of the Act defined health insurance business as ‘effecting of contracts which provide for sickness benefits or medical, surgical or hospital expense benefits, whether in-patient or out-patient travel cover and personal accident cover'. It is a milestone for the Indian Insurance Business and to all the stakeholders to recognize health insurance as a standalone class. Recognition of health insurance as a standalone class of business is sure to usher in an era of improving an access to the health services to the entire range of population, thereby reducing the share of ‘out of pocket’ expenses in the overall expenses incurred towards health expenses. Recognizing health insurance as a class may result in a number of players entering this field as standalone health insurers. Insurance being the business of large numbers, it is essential that there is a demand from a wide range of the targeted population to enable the insurers to offer the range of products that cater to their health insurance needs. Availability of a number of players who offer health insurance solutions also enhances health insurance awareness leading to a reasonable demand that in turn helps in offering health insurance products at economical prices. Incidentally, the Government has also increased the maximum Foreign Direct Investment cap to 49% in the year 2014-15. This increase in FDI cap, coupled with recognizing Health Insurance as a special class, is likely to attract a number of players offering a range of health insurance solutions to the Indian insuring public. 50ANNUAL REPORT 2014-15 Domestic Travel Insurance: health insurance premium.
