STAR HEALTH INSURANCE, the country’s largest standalone health insurer, is witnessing a 25% rise in average policy size following rationalisation in the goods and services tax (GST) rate, a senior company official said.
“Before the GST change, the average sum assured of new policies was around ₹9 lakh. Now, it is close to ₹11 lakh. There has been a 20-25% increase,” Anand Roy, managing director and chief executive of Star Health Insurance, said on Monday.
He was speaking on the sidelines of launch of Arogya Seva Kendras, a free-of-cost primary healthcare centre to provide medical facilities to one million beneficiaries with noncommunicable diseases.
