Islamic system of insurance at its core indeed have a fundamental difference with conventional ones, among others:

  • The principle of Takaful contract is Takafuli (mutual assistance). Where the customer is the one helping the other customers who were experiencing difficulties. While conventional insurance contract is tadabuli (buying and selling between customer and company).
  • Funds collected from customers' insurance companies (premiums) are invested according to sharia sharing system (mudaraba). While in conventional insurance, investments made in any sector fund with a system of interest.
  • Premiums collected still treated as funds belonging to clients. The company only as a fiduciary to manage it. While in conventional insurance, the premium belongs to the company and the company who has full authority to establish funds management policy.
  • If there is an affected participant, for payment of customer claims the funds deducted from the account tabarru (social funds) all participants who already Relax for the purposes of mutual assistance. While in conventional insurance, the claim payment funds taken from accounts held by the company.
  • Investment profits divided between the customer as the owner of the funds with the company as manager, with the principle of revenue sharing. While in conventional insurance, the benefits become fully owned by the company. If there is no claim, customers do not get anything.
  • The existence of the Sharia Supervisory Board in Islamic insurance company which is a must. The Council is instrumental in overseeing the management, products and investment policies in order to keep in line with Islamic law. As in conventional insurance, then it does not receive attention.

The reason why the claim is not paid

Below there are several reasons why an insurance claim is paid :
  • Not included in clause (contract), for example: accidental death, but in fact the customer died of natural causes dies then the claim will not be paid
  • Included in the exceptions, for example: some types of cancers such as skin cancer, prostate, etc. (each insurance company sets different types of cancer that can not be claimed. Or die for committing the crime, was also included in the exceptions
  • Existing disease, if the diagnosis is known that the claim is filed due to illnesses that existed before the policy applies and is not listed in the policy, then the claim is not paid.
  • The document is incomplete. Completeness of the documents required when a claim such as: medical certificate, the letter claims from customers themselves. Lack of any one document then the claim will not be paid.
  • Still in the waiting period. Several types of claims such as critical illness, the hospital requires a waiting period (time after sunrise policy) between 30-365 days. If the disease that claimed the waiting period included in the claim not being paid.
  • Policyholders in a state of lapse. Lapse, which means the policy is not active yet because of unpaid premiums due the insurance company will not pay claims filed.
  • Claims filed later than the time specified. Usually, insurance companies set a deadline for claims between 30-60 days, later the claim would not be served.
  • Claims filed due to the customer to commit a crime. For example: admission because he was beaten while stealing mass.
  • Crime insurance, for example: accidentally cut his own finger to get reimbursement. Or heirs who commit crimes against the insured claims that considering the amount of money will be obtained.
  • Being outside the contract territory. For example: in a written contract all the events that occurred in Indonesia, but in fact there are events outside of Indonesia then the claim will be rejected.
Seeing the many reasons for unpaid insurance claims, it is important for policyholders to study the contract carefully because every life insurance companies have different asuransi.

The Importance of Having Health Insurance

In Indonesia there are two types of health insurance is health insurance collective (group) and individual health insurance. Insurance is usually reserved for private individuals or families, while insurers collectively as found in many companies already provide health coverage to their employees. Individual insurance premiums to be paid relatively higher than the collective health insurance. Why is that? Because of the collective, then the number of participants who took part individually or bigger so the risk of a claim can be evenly by all the individual within the group. The greater the number of groups or members within a single institution or company, it will lower the premium to be paid.
Health Insurance Benefits
Health insurance is a type of insurance that helps the availability of health insurance funds if participants develop health problems or illnesses. All the needs of seeing a doctor, stay (care) in hospitals, drug costs in the hospital until the operation, all that can be covered by insurance companies. Generally this type of treatment or programs that are available are the benefits of ambulatory (outpatient), benefit of inpatient care (inpatient), labor benefits and dental benefits.

In general, the benefits of ambulatory (outpatient) are covered by insurance companies is as consulting fees or general practitioner and specialists, prescription medication costs, costs of preventive measures, the cost of assistive devices required by doctors, and others. In the outpatient benefits have maximum limits use of funds each year. While hospitalization benefits that can be enjoyed by participants of health insurance is like the hospital costs, lab fees, delivery fees, the cost of emergency service (emergency). The benefits of preventive dental care, basic dental care, dental care complex, and the installation of dentures.

Third-care benefits, namely outpatient, maternity and dental benefits is an additional option that we can take the following basic program, which benefits of hospitalization. So, we are not allowed to just take advantage of outpatient care, childbirth or dental work alone without following the basic program of hospitalization benefits.

The amount of premium to be paid and the amount of value in health insurance is dependent on the health insurance program that we choose. Various insurance companies have the types of programs and premiums vary by the details of benefits also varies. Typically, insurance companies limit the amount of the total cost that can be used per year.

The system claims / reimbursement of health insurance

The system used by health insurance companies there are 2 ie the reimbursement system (reimbursement) or the system provider. With the reimbursement system, insurance participants have to spend money first to pay for treatment then can we claim or request a replacement to the insurer in which we become participants of insurance. With this system we are then free to choose a hospital anywhere, but certainly the maximum reimbursement has been determined in advance. That need to be our primary concern in making the claim is the completeness of letters of administration that became the main requirement for the reimbursement of expenses that we can be paid out by insurance companies. How quickly depends on the disbursement of claims services provided by insurance companies, but generally ranges from 7 working days.

For those who embrace the system provider, we do not need to spend money first. We only provided with health insurance membership card in order to obtain needed health care in a hospital or health clinic that we selected earlier based on a list of hospitals that work with the insurance company.

Choosing health insurance

What kind of health insurance that we need to look at and we choose? Here are some tips that may help us in choosing health insurance
  • Principle carefully before buying. As a potential participant health insurance, we are entitled to get the right information, clear and honest about the terms / conditions stated in the insurance agreement. We should first read the instructions, information, and procedures are carefully and do not hesitate to ask the insurance company if there is something less obvious. Learn the agreement properly so that it can make the right decisions. Given the usual clause or clauses written in small letters on the back of the agreement and use a term that is sometimes difficult to understand layman, then we must be diligent in asking to avoid conflict in the future as a result of the difference between our interpretation as a participant, or insured by the company insurer or the insurer.
  • Choose the insurance companies are reliable and have good products and services. Try to compare with some health insurance companies are reliable and have excellent service. Compare the benefits and premiums to be paid between the various health insurance products. Choose one that suits your needs and our ability to pay premiums.
  • If the company where we work do not provide health insurance, then we can take the initiative to follow the collective health insurance program with fellow employees in our company. This will benefit because the premium paid would be lower if the collective, but the losses may not be able to adopt 100% according to our will as well adapted to the needs of the group.
If we reflect for a moment then come sickness or accident is an event that often occur, although the timing is not predictable. Therefore, it needed a plan to prevent and resolve the issue carefully and wisely. The principle of "willing umbrella before it rains" can be done, one way to have health insurance. So hopefully useful

5 Step to Prepare Education Insurance

The cost of education today is becoming increasingly large. Therefore, education funding should be prepared well in advance rather than when a child going to school.
Families who already understand the family expenses and have usually been prepared financial planning education funding since the child was born.

 
There are a number of stages in preparing the education budget.
  • First, determine the child's school. Families should know clearly the desired education for the children and adapted to the child's ability. Family can not force children to attend schools far above the standard value is the child's ability.
  • Second, calculate the cost required for the education of children. Families should gather information on the costs required for the education of children. The fee includes tuition, cost of development, recreation fees, cost of books, as well as other costs.Inflation and interest rate
  • Third, determine the inflation rate from now until the child goes to school even when the children were educated in the school. The inflation rate can be calculated using the current inflation rate assumption. When inflation is now too small, the estimated inflation rates must be raised. If this year we have 5 percent inflation, the family should raise the inflation rate around 6 percent to 7 percent.The government itself has a corresponding inflation expectations, moderate, and worst. Families also can ask the research institution or agency that issued the inflation, such as the Central Bureau of Statistics or economic experts, in order to get inflation numbers are valid and reliable for estimating the future.
  • Fourth, do the calculations to the interest rate applicable in the future. Interest rates are predicted in the future can not be separated from the estimated inflation rate. The interest rate is a reflection of the prevailing inflation rate. Therefore, families must obtain a desired real interest rate the government every year. If the real interest rate that you want the government about 1 percent to 2 percent, as now, the prevailing interest rate is the result of the real interest rate with inflation. When inflation is 7 percent, interest rate of 8 percent to 9 percent.
  • Fifth, determine the amount of savings made. When the funds needed have been determined and the amount of time to get to school children, the family can determine the amount of savings each month. For example, families need a fund of Rp 75 million, of which these funds are needed the next five years or 60 months, then the funds should be set aside from the family monthly income of Rp 1.25 million. That is, funds amounting to Rp 1.25 million savings is kept under the pillow, have not been bred through investment. When families make an investment, funds set aside will be smaller and very good when longer investing.

In the conduct of investment options, families can invest their own or place them on the investment manager and also combine it with insurance. When used its own investment, the investor requires knowledge of the investment and takes time. When deposited, the family must get the information more widely, both interest rates and banking conditions are concerned. All actions the family must contain risk and should be understood.

Insurance education
When families choose education insurance, it must realize that in addition to paying insurance premiums, the family also invested. Useful insurance premiums to pay for education expenses if the family could no longer pay the mortgage investment. This inability may be due to the insurer the premium can not work or died.

When families take out insurance, family expenditures for education fund savings will be greater. On the other hand, the family does not have a headache thinking about investments that will be done to achieve the desired educational funds. Future risks have been transferred to the family through the payment of insurance premiums. However, insurance is not required if the family know the exact health and uncertainty in the future. Families should know exactly the family's ability to be able to provide the education fund.

As described previously, in preparing this education fund, the family would face the risk, both risk tightening family expenses, investment risks, and risks the fund needs to swell because of the situation. Families must prepare themselves to face these risks by carefully watching the education fund.

Is There Any Ideal Health Insurance

Choosing the right insurance products is not a trivial matter. It takes precision and accuracy because the fund purchases the customer does not belong to someone else, but yours. Loss or risk of error remains borne by the buyer purchase insurance, not the other party.

Owned health insurance is insurance should
pure health, not mixed with the investment. It is intended that the benefits higher. For example, reimbursement of expenses of hospitalization or surgery is greater.

According to Tri Djoko Santoso, a financial planner, health insurance is included in an effort to protect ourselves and also riches. "There are so many diseases that can make a person poor for spending of property," said Chairman of the Financial Planning Institute of Indonesia. Tri Djoko added, an employee who already receive health insurance from any office should still protect themselves with health insurance. "Insurance was no limit. Usually if one employee to pay too high because of critical illness, the next year an insurance company would not put another person in the program," he said.

Nearly 70 percent of Indonesia's population at its own cost of doctor or hospital. There are various reasons that people are still reluctant to take insurance services, among others, for fear of being deceived insurance agent, be bothered to make a claim of treatment, and many are unfortunately out of funds to pay for insurance.
Everyone without exception should have health insurance that will guarantee the cost of health care or care when someone falls ill or have an accident. Moreover, although we have been keeping good health, diseases can come without warning. On the other hand, health care costs continue to rise.

To prevent losses due to insurance, there are some things to consider prospective customers, namely:
  • It should be understood that the insurance premiums is an expense, not investment. In other words, our money will be lost if the period of the policy we are in good health.
  • Ask your insurance agent for the detailed each item that is written in the policy. For example, the exclusion of disease conditions that are not guaranteed, whether the insurance coverage includes outpatient services or inpatient only?
  • Because of the cost, insurance buyers should ask friends or people who felt more aware about insurance. Not infrequently an explanation about the disease written in English so that it can cause the wrong meaning.
  • Ask also about the claims procedure. More quick and easy claims process, the better kuliatas bureaucratic insurance companies concerned. That is why, notice that the insurance company track records will be selected.
  • Tell the truth if you have a particular disease prior to the enactment of the policy.
