      Claims and Underwriting Innovation Forum 2021

      COVER Claims and Underwriting Innovation Forum will investigate the most innovative claims and underwriting practices driving the protection and health insurance market forward. It bears repeating; at the heart of every policy is a human being. As technologies advance and digital capabilities expand, it is crucial that the needs of the customer do not get lost along the way. A personal touch must remain at the centre of every interaction an individual has with an insurance company, either directly or through an intermediary. Hence, this journey is about evolution not revolution.28th April, Digital Conference

      Access to Insurance Webinar: Write it, refer it… don’t ignore it

      Access to insurance has been one of the protection industry’s primary focus points since BIBA introduced the agreement to help make protection insurance more widely available in January last year. While much good work has been done to further the cause, there is still a long way to go before signposting can be considered as a common practise. This webinar, in partnership with Royal London and featuring a cross-section of expert speakers, will examine some of the key elements of protection insurance signposting, including the role of communication between insurers and intermediaries, how industry participants can access the right information to signpost effectively, and the growing recognition of mental health challenges for access to insurance.

      Health Insurance Live 2021

      The COVER Health Insurance Live event will examine how the health insurance industry is mobilising for change both during the pandemic and beyond: How have health insurers responded the many challenges brought about by the Covid-19 crisis and what’s next for the market? What opportunities are out there for healthcare intermediaries and how can they make the most out of rising private medical insurance (PMI) demand? As part of this fully interactive digital conference experience, we will also be introducing the Recognising Healthcare Innovation Awards, a new set of awards to commemorate the leading players of the health insurance sector.

Over a quarter of consumers say they are open to the idea of having a single insurance policy to cover all their requirements, a report from Majesco has found.

When asked if they would prefer a single policy for all requirements, 14% said definitely yes, while 28% said probably yes, compared to 6% definitely not and 22% probably not.

The biggest obstacle seen by consumers was getting the right price, which 43% of consumers said would prevent them from having all their insurances with one provider.

The findings come from the report Assessing the Quality of the Customer Experience: The 2015 Majesco Report on the UK Insurance Industry, from a survey of 1000 UK adults with insurance.

Different renewal dates was seen as an obstacle by 35% while 29% were concerned about getting the right level of service across different products.

Among respondents 11% said nothing would prevent them putting their insurances with one provider.

The report warns that there are few providers who could offer "family policies" and that it presents an opportunity for a newcomer to gain market share.

The report also found that 55% of those with life, pensions and ISA insurance were contacted by post, while 62% would prefer to be contacted by email, 7% would prefer in person contact, compared to 12% who receive in person contact from their insurer.

Vidyesh Khanolkar, vice president of Majesco (UK), said at the report's launch:"People want these sort of products.

The reason why they are apprehensive of going for these products is they don't know they will have dependable and predictable servicing and pricing around these new products."
