Follow these easy steps and get your corporate health insurance from ACKO today:
As an employer, you need to look at a few things while scouting your employees' right corporate health plan.
Assess your employee’s profile based on their age, location, health habits, health history etc. If most of your employees belong to Gen X and reside in metro cities, you may want to consider a more comprehensive plan with a high sum insured amount that can match the rising healthcare costs in the cities.
The plan you select should offer you value for money and offer flexibility in terms of premium payment. It is a good idea to go with the insurance company that can provide holistic coverage at affordable premium rates with the flexibility to pay the premium amount on a monthly, quarterly, bi-annually, or annual basis.
Select an insurer that simplifies the journey for you. New-age insurers like ACKO offer 100% paperless, 100% support and 0% form-filling experience. This offers ease and convenience not just to you, but to your team as well.
We like to keep everything digital. From the self-serve enrolment process, customisation of the policy to raising claims and tracking them - your employees can access a host of these features with just a few clicks. This also reduces the admin hassles for you.
Most of the time, Corporate Health Insurance is utilised only by a small section of employees. This leads to the underutilisation of the plan. Offering a host of wellness benefits such as teleconsultations with doctors, access to mental health experts, fitness tracking, discounted pharmacy, and diagnostic tests can help keep your team fit and offer an all-inclusive healthcare solution. Note: A healthy team will lead to a low number of claims, which means a low premium amount at the time of renewal.
