GROUP INSURANCE

DEFINATION
Group Insurance: insurance that is purchased by a group (such as the employees of a company) usually at a reduced rate to individual members of the group. Insurance which is issued to a group, such as an employer, credit union, or trade association, and which provides coverage for individuals and sometimes their dependents.

MEANING
Group insurance is an insurance that covers a group of people, usually who are the members of societies, employees of a common employer, or professionals in a common group.
Group coverage can help reduce the problem of adverse selection by creating a pool of people eligible to purchase insurance who belong to the group for reasons other than for the purposes of obtaining insurance. In other words, people belong to the group not because they possess some high-risk factor which makes them more apt to purchase insurance (thus increasing adverse selection); instead, they are in the group for reasons unrelated to insurance, such as all working for a particular employer.
A feature which is sometimes common in group insurance is that the premium cost on an individual basis may not be risk-based. Instead it is the same amount for all the insured persons in the group. So, for example, in the United States, often all employees of an employer receiving health insurance coverage pay the same premium amount for the same coverage regardless of their age or other factors. In contrast, under private individual health insurance coverage in the U.S., different insured persons will

For younger and poorer American citizens below sixty-five years, the government has established Medicaid healthcare delivery system to offer free medical services. Eligible candidates for the Medicaid program include poor individuals that cannot afford the service and non-beneficiaries of subsidized healthcare systems such as the group insurance (Cooper & Taylor, 1994). In addition to these methods, the US has a variety of other healthcare systems intended for the uninsured. The programs include the Veterans Administration, military and Native Americans among others. These programs are extremely complex since they have varied the reimbursement, underwriting, benefit and eligibility (McCarthy & Schafermeyer,…

    Following the death/accident or the loss, one is left in a sticky financial situation. Insurance basically means protecting yourself from unseen and unexpected perils. We do not claim to know when these dangers may occur but we prepare ahead to protect ourselves from them. Surprisingly, some may not know the theory of insurance even though most of their property may be insured. Insurance operates on the concept of "pool of interests". This means that a number of people having a common insurable item, may come together and agree to pay regular sums of money called "premiums" to protect themselves from an uncertain danger. There is no possibility that in the event that an accident occurs, it will affect everybody. If the accident happens, it will most likely happen to only one person in the insured group. Thus the regular payments made by the entire group are put to use in helping to return the affected member's property to its original state. Insurance is governed by six principles, namely; Utmost good faith This requires you to be open with your insurer concerning the property to be insured. Indemnity This means that in the event that the accident occurs, the insured will be place in the same financial position that they were in before. Subrogation This states that the damaged property is now owned by the insurance company…

    With employer-based programs, participants are either employees of a company or a family member of an employee of a company. In 2006, 62% of insured individuals obtained insurance through their employers. While employer-based insurance plans offer some advantages, there are some serious disadvantages to these plans. Not all employees choose to participate, whether it is purely by choice or because of inability to pay, which could lead to problems should these employees be diagnosed with cancer. Most tragically, if the insured employees do develop cancer, they may be at risk of losing their employment which of course would lead to losing their health insurance. The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, or COBRA, leaves them with an…
