Health Insurance Development Strategy

In general, local and central government does not have adequate funds or does not give priority health financing. It can be seen from the small budget the health sector at national and regional levels, so the productivity of the population is still very low.
The strategy now should be within the law that applies, if it is still recognized, and the fact remains, that Indonesia is still the Homeland.
That is, policies that can be taken at this region, where the national policy of health insurance is still a legal product, then the health insurance expansion efforts in the area is still restricted by applicable law corridor. That is, the attempt to manage their own health insurance such as civil servants are not in accordance with applicable law corridor now. Likewise, require private employees as opposed to the Social Security regulations are inconsistent with the existing legal framework.

However, if the region wants to expand coverage or improve service quality by negotiating with Askes for example, can be done. Regions can work within the scope of their authority: mobilizing local social health insurance as part of the preparation of a national system. Cooperative members, the elderly population, and encourage private employees / government who are not civil servants can be included in the guarantee system. However, when there are national policies later, the organizers must be prepared merged entity in accordance with applicable legislation.
If the above strategies will be done, should be borne security package begins with a service that is essential / vital but bear its own weight. 

The principle of mutual aid / insurance is the same weight bear. Hospitalization, surgery, expensive treatments, and intensive care services is an area in need of health insurance mechanisms. This limited warranty packages that will be more easily adapted to extend warranty to a comprehensive package rather than vice versa. Security package that will be set at the central level will not be more than comprehensive. With this strategy, the region can resolve the health problems that become heavy burden citizens without having to have difficulty adapting to regulations to be born later. In addition, packages bear a limited guarantee will be more perceived benefits and required a much cheaper cost.

Moral hazard factor and management are two important factors to be considered in conducting warranty. Be aware that traditional health insurance that provides replacement cost (reimbursement) will invite moral hazard is high despite the guarantees provided only inpatient care or catastrophic cases. Conversely, if the assurance given in the form of service, then the moral hazard becomes more easily localized than provide a comprehensive guarantee. Therefore the management of this limited warranty will be much easier and more resolved. If this strategy is applied to compulsory insurance temporary (pending the Act), then the two major threats failure insurance (adverse selection and moral hazard) have been overcome.

Insurance Broker or Broker, formed in the body of law and must have permission from the Ministry of Finance with the requirements are quite strict and clearly regulated in Law no. 2 1992, Government Regulation no. 73 in 1992 and the Decree of the Minister of Finance R.I. No. 226/KMK.0171993.

Role Of Insurance Brokers

Insurance Brokers task is not completed at the closing of an insurance contract has been made between the Insured and the Insurer, but the Insurance Brokers will continue to perform his duties for insurance contracts running and even after the contract expired in terms of insurance claims arising out unfinished. This can be seen from the tasks of the agency against the insured which are as follows:

  • Conduct risk identification and reduction efforts, elimination and avoid risk.
  • Insurance contract to design the most suitable and most competitive in accordance with the needs of the insured,
  • Insurer Selection safe.
  • Insurance premium rates negotiated by the insured.
  • Doing claim management services, program administration and inspection during the policy runs the risk
  • Negotiates claims on behalf of the insured.
  • Research and administration of insurance
  • Giving advice risk management and risk prevention (as option generally with charge)

Insurance brokers do not charge for his services but earn brokerage or commission from the Insurer receiving the risks placed.

Mortality Insurance Cases

In the case of death insurance, applicants are asked to enter their health data, with or without prior medical examination, which will be used as initial data the health of participants. A life insurance policy are generally imposed as a condition of certain provisions, limitations and exclusions of coverage. Dishonesty in men
nutritional preliminary data, which means certain death is an exception 
(in the case of life insurance),

insurance cases death is not a requirement (in case of accident insurance), forgery or falsification of death causes heirs, and falsification of identity insured, are part of the reason that could lead to insurance claims can not be a particular insurance case.

Death insurance participants who have health data "normal" or have a total coverage of the "big" and then suddenly died shortly after the close of insurance is usually a decent insurance cases studied (Suspicious death or contestable death claims). Suspicions of fraud (fraud) or abuse (misuse) became stronger when the cause of death turns out to be a fatal disease which has chronic / chronic, or the cause of death leads to the intent.

In the settlement of claims against an insurance case of death, there are 3 important things that must be considered, namely
  • the closure of an insurance policy to the insured's death, 
  • death of the insured, and 
  • evidence that properly insured has died.
Facts show that the death certificate quite easily obtained by the absence of provisions in Indonesia which regulates the obligation of examination bodies for the purposes of death certification and the absence of specific agencies authorized to issue death certificates.

Forensic autopsy examination should be performed to obtain a definite cause of death will be the case the insurance, which can then bring to a conclusion about the manner of his death - whether there is the element of intent.

Life insurance is the definition of a transfer of risk (Risk Shifting) for the financial loss (financial loss) by the Insured to the Insurer. Risks that are delegated by the Insured to the Insurer is not the risk of loss of one's soul, but the financial losses as a result of the loss of one's soul, or because of old age so it is not productive anymore.

Concept of Risk
The economic value of the life of a head of household (the breadwinner) is equal to earnings capacity. If the economic value of the life of a family head is lost or reduced, then that will suffer directly is the loss of his relatives. The risk of loss of income is to be borne by the families left behind.

  • Old age (old age) / Retirement. Old days of events will inevitably occur, but how long it lasts the life of the old days, can not be known with certainty.
  • Education. The development of the education the longer the better. The cost of a child who will continue the longer education even more expensive. Parents should be able to anticipate the development of the education very seriously, because the cost of education today and ten years would have been much different peningkatanya.

In addition to death protection, policy in also provides a savings element which is known as cash value that arises because premiums remain.
  • Life Insurance Dwiguna. This insurance is comprised of two elements, namely protection of life and savings. Mental Protection provides death protection. Savings on the insurance element is higher so appropriate for the purpose of saving money. With the savings element  higher than the Insurance Term Life Insurance and Life long
  •  Life Insurance Unit-link. In addition to the above three types of policies or also called the traditional policy, the life insurance business insurance policy is also known Unit link. Unit-link life insurance policies combine insurance with investment components. This policy provides life insurance policyholder protection as well as the opportunity to participate in investments managed by insurance companies. Funds placed in the product cut for insurance coverage and the remainder is invested in units of the fund concerned.

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.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.
