Co-Insurance and how it Works - 1 views

carterhancock on 04 Aug 15We 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 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
