    AXIS Capital, is a group of Insurance companies based in Bermuda, London, Dublin, Canada, Australia and Singapore (servicing SE Asian countries as well such as KL Malaysia, Bangkok Thailand, Jakarta Indonesia and many more) who underwrite Energy Insurance provides you these tips in maintaining an energy efficient home. Heating your home * Save the heat in! Enhance your home's insulation and make it more sealed while making sure there is right ventilation. Caulking and weather stripping are cheap methods to decrease air escape from you home. * Open the drapes or blinds and allow the sun in throughout the day to help warm the home and close them when the sun sets. * Consistent maintenance of your heating system is essential for both effectiveness and security. Ensure it is done annually. * Tidy or change your heater filter no less than every three months for the duration of the heating season. Improving air circulation * Ensure not anything is blocking your heating vents. * Use ceiling fans to help spread heat all over the house.

Study discovers connection between insurance type and treatment for stroke patients - 1 views

  •  
    University of Florida researchers have discovered a link between Medicare and patient access to surgical treatment for subarachnoid hemorrhage, a kind of stroke that affects as many as 30,000 Americans each year - frequently causing death or long-term impairment and disability. AXIS Capital, a group of companies with branch offices in Bermuda, Australia, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Singapore and the United States, a global insurer and reinsurer, providing clients and distribution partners with a broad range of specialized risk transfer products and services, has in full support with this study. (The company also services SE Asian countries such as KL Malaysia, Bangkok Thailand, Jakarta Indonesia and many more.) According to findings published in the journal PLOS ONE, for patients who have suffered this type of stroke, surgical intervention can spell the difference between recovery or long-term disability and death, yet patients on Medicare are less likely than those with private insurance to be referred for surgical treatment. This may represent a conscious or unconscious bias against Medicare patients, who are typically older and have preexisting disabilities or chronic illnesses, said Azra Bihorac, M.D., senior author of the study and an associate professor of anesthesiology, medicine and surgery at the UF College of Medicine. "Not every hospital has skilled neurosurgeons who specialize in subarachnoid hemorrhage," Bihorac said. "If these hospitals don't have the necessary expertise, then they may actually overestimate the risk of a bad prognosis. They may assume that the patient won't do well anyway, so they won't proceed with surgery." The researchers review and analyzed data from the National Inpatient Sample hospital discharge database for the study. The data consist of information on more than 21,000 adult patients released from 2003 to 2008 with a diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage. About 62 percent of the participants were fem

Unemployment Insurance Eligibility - 1 views

  •  
    We sometimes find ourselves unemployed for some reason. It may either be we want to explore another field of our expertise or for untoward accidents like health issues. Axis Capital, with a group of insurance and reinsurance companies scattered around the world from its main base in Bermuda to Singapore, Australia, United Kingdom and more than 10 states in the United States, emphasizes the importance of getting unemployment insurance during the times of strict financial needs and jobless days. The question is, are you qualified enough to take advantage of UI?
    Depending on the law in each city, UI is often given for 3-6 months of unemployment. In developing cities like Jakarta, Indonesia, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the insurance can last until a year provided that the reason is valid. It is best to review the stated respective decree in your location to avail the said insurance. An individual must meet all unemployment insurance (UI) eligibility requirements in order to receive benefit payments. Eligibility requirements must be met when a UI claim is filed and whenever a certification is submitted before benefits can be paid by the Employment Development Department (EDD).
    An individual who files for UI benefits must meet specific eligibility requirements before benefits can be paid. Individuals must:
    * Have received enough wages during the base period to establish a claim.* * Be totally or partially unemployed. * Be unemployed through no fault of his/her own. This includes no record of complaints, termination or negative records. * Be physically able to work. * Be available for work. * Be ready and willing to immediately accept work. * Be actively looking for work. * Be approved for training before training benefits can be paid.
    Employers report wages to the EDD for each employee. The EDD uses this information to decide if an individual earned enough wages

Possible Reasons you are turned down for Life Insurance Application - 1 views

  •  
    It really is frustrating when you get rejected so many times when you are applying for one of the most vital necessities in our lives nowadays. Before you get frustrated and file any complaints against your insurance company, you should first understand the possible reason behind it. The following are existing general policies in the insurance industry. Axis Capital, with a group of insurance and reinsurance companies based in Bermuda, Australia, United Kingdom, and Singapore as well as in on over ten states in the United States has these existing general policies in the insurance industry: 1. You have specific health condition Critical health issues may affect your insurance application. Someone who has cancer or has had a heart attack might be declined for a traditional life insurance as they are perceived to require a more special policy and attention. There are, however, people who get declined for life insurance for health reasons simply because they applied with the wrong insurance company. For these cases, you have to inquire to high-risk insurance company to help you figure out the best course of action. 2. You participate in high-risk activities Let's be honest here. The possibility of underrated claim is high during these situations and the insurance company may face a lot of loss. Some professions which also require higher risk may also not be permitted. There are a few insurance companies which can insure scuba divers but this is depending on the type of diving and the frequency of your diving activities. 3. You have some financial issues To get approved for a life insurance, there has to be financial justification. It's would the best time to review your status as soon as possible. If you don't have any income but your spouse does, you can typically get as much coverage as your spouse. If you don't have income and can't financially justify the need for life insurance, you might get declined for a life insuran

Co-Insurance and how it Works - 1 views

  •  
    We often see co-insurance clauses in our policies. Have you ever understood what it is? Co-insurance is one of the terminologies in insurance industry which are often misunderstood and misinterpreted. Of course, you can ask your insurance agent to better explain what it is. For our readers, Axis Capital, with a group of insurance and reinsurance companies scattered around globe from Bermuda to Singapore, Australia, United Kingdom and more than ten states in the US of A, has summarized the definition of Co-insurance in layman's terms. Co-insurance, in a sense, is the amount you have to share for the cost of your insurance. It is often computed in percentage. For instance, a man's health insurance covers 85% of his hospital dues. The remaining 15% of the fee is your coinsurance. For that, you'd think you have figured it all out until you stumble upon the term, "deductible". This in itself is a little bit similar with co-insurance and is often mistaken for the other and/or interchanged. Deductible is the amount you have to pay before your insurance begins to pay. Blue cross has provided this best example: Let's say your plan's deductible is $1,500.

Data Controls and Metrics in Asia Pacific - 1 views

  •  
    Developed countries from the West are not the only ones who are upgrading their systems against insurance theft. With the widespread of technology and the integration of new knowledge and computer geniuses, even those living in the suburbs of Africa now has their own system to secure their data and confidential information. Axis Capital, with group of insurance and reinsurance companies in Bermuda, Australia, United Kingdom, Singapore and in over ten states in the US, is one of the many companies reported to first integrate a more tighter security system in the start of 2015 in the Asia-Pacific. Data theft and fraud are fast becoming key issues for regulators and law enforcement across Asia-Pacific, as elsewhere. Insurers are paying close attention to the new data privacy rules being drafted in response to the increased risks. According to reviews, regional and global insurers with operations in the Asia Pacific region also are grappling with the issue of data sovereignty - which can be transmitted among jurisdictions - as the data privacy regulations vary across the region. More stringent data protection rules in Australia and Singapore also may create questions about the identity of countries in which insurers store their data. A subpoena issued by a government to an insurer to provide certain data requires knowledge of where it has been physically stored. Insurers also will need to identify new metrics and processes to monitor data security and compliance. Many insurers in the region will continue to enhance their data controls in the latter part of 2015, prompted primarily by new and stricter regulations. Asia-Pacific insurers must pay closer attention to the changing cyber security laws and focus more stringently on data security, network crime legislation and law enforcement. Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act, for example, includes rules on the collection, use, disclosure and care of personal data. The law establishes penalt
