• 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.
