Group Insurance is term insurance covering a group of people, usually employees of a company or members of a union or association. Individual proof of insurability is not normally a consideration in the underwriting. Rather, the underwriter considers the size and turnover of the group, and the financial strength of the group. Contract provisions will attempt to exclude the possibility of adverse selection. Group life insurance often has a provision that a member exiting the group has the right to buy individual insurance coverage.It covers a group of people, usually who are the members of societies, employees of a common employer, or professionals in a common group.
why?Group coverage can help reduce the problem of adverse selection by creating a pool of people eligible to purchase insurance who belong to the group for reasons other than for the purposes of obtaining insurance. A feature which is sometimes common in group insurance is that the premium cost on an individual basis may not be risk-based. Instead it is the same amount for all the insured persons in the group. So, for example, in the United States, often all employees of an employer receiving health insurance coverage pay the same premium amount for the same coverage regardless of their age or other factors. In contrast, under private individual health insurance coverage in the U.S., different insured persons will pay different premium amounts for the same coverage based on their age, location, pre-existing conditions, etc. What do we offer ?* With our group insurance, you protect the members of your group—a class of students or a sporting or non-sporting association/organization—during activities you organize or, if you prefer, at all times, throughout the world. * At us small and large businesses will find group insurance plans that are perfectly adapted to their needs. * We monitor market trends closely in order to offer companies benefits and products that are adapted to new realities. * We provide members with services that suit their lifestyles. |
