Star Group Health Insurance Policy for Bank Customers

Star Group, one of the leading insurers in the region, has partnered with major banks to provide a dedicated health insurance solution for bank employees and their families. The policy is designed to meet the unique needs of banking professionals, offering comprehensive coverage, flexible benefits, and hasslefree administration.

Why a Specialized Policy for Bank Employees?

• Highstress environment: Banking staff often work long hours and face pressure, making health protection a priority.
• Mobility: Frequent travel and relocations require a portable, nationwide network of hospitals.
• Family focus: Banks typically provide familycentric benefits; the policy extends those benefits to health care.
• Regulatory compliance: The plan satisfies banking sector regulations concerning employee welfare.

Key Features of the Policy

1. Comprehensive Medical Coverage

The policy covers inpatient and outpatient treatment, daycare procedures, and preexisting conditions after a waiting period. Benefits include:

• Hospitalisation expenses (room, board, surgery, ICU).
• Daycare surgeries and diagnostics.
• Pre and posthospitalisation costs (up to 30 days each).
• Home care and nursing services.
• Vaccinations, health checkups, and preventive care.

**2. Wide Hospital Network** Over 12,000 empanelled hospitals across the country, including toptier corporate and multispecialty centres. Cashless claim settlement is available at any network hospital.

3. Family Coverage

A single premium can cover the employee, spouse, children (up to 25 years), and parents. Optional addon covers for domestic partners and senior parents are also available.

4. Flexible Sum Insured

Choose from Rs. 5 lakh to Rs. 50 lakh per individual, with a group limit that can be scaled up based on the banks employee count.

5. No Claim Bonus (NCB)

For every claimfree year, the sum insured increases by 5% (capped at 25%). This encourages a healthier lifestyle among staff.

6. Wellness and Preventive Programs

• Annual health risk assessment.
• Discounted gym memberships and yoga classes.
• Telemedicine consultations 24/7.
• Health awareness webinars tailormade for banking professionals.

Eligibility and Enrollment

All permanent and contract staff of participating banks are eligible. Enrollment is usually conducted during the banks annual benefits enrolment window, but the policy also allows midyear joiners in case of new hires.

Premium Structure

The premium is calculated on a permemberpermonth (PMPM) basis, with discounts based on the number of lives covered. Banks benefit from a pooled risk model, which often leads to lower perhead costs compared to individual policies.

Coverage (Per Person)	Premium (PMPM)	Group Discount
Rs. 5 Lakh	Rs. 350	5% (100199 lives)
Rs. 10 Lakh	Rs. 610	7% (200399 lives)
Rs. 20 Lakh	Rs. 1,150	10% (400+ lives)
Rs. 30 Lakh	Rs. 1,620	12% (400+ lives)
Rs. 50 Lakh	Rs. 2,300	15% (400+ lives)
