Update on empanelment of hospitals on cashless basis at each BA :

AIGETOA today once again raised the issue of empanelment of hospitals on cashless basis for each BA and Circles. It was agreed by management in the formal agenda meeting with AIGETOA in February that all circles shall be asked to ensure empanelment on cashless basis on circle as well as BA level. It was also decided that all the hospitals shall be categorically ensured that their bills shall be cleared maximum within 3 months. The issue was raised by AIGETOA Team in GHI meeting also.

We requested Director HR for his immediate intervention on the issue.

We sincerely hope that management will keep it’s promise and will direct circles to do the needful immediately so that employee can avail of health services without remaining dependent on self financed GHI type schemes.

Important Information Related AIGETOA GHIS Policy

Important Information:

As the premium quoted by New India Assurance for renewal of the ongoing AIGETOA Group Health Insurance Policy is very high and despite of all efforts, the insurer is not reducing the quote due to high claim ratio. So, it has been decided that the Group Health Insurance Policy will not be renewed at this premium. The condition put forward by the New India Assurance of high individual premium in all plans as well as total premium to be collected is also exorbitantly high.

So, all members are requested to take suitable decision. Any other development in this regard shall be communicated as soon as it is received.

Group Health Insurance Policy of New India Assurance launched through AIGETOA in 2021-22 and it’s Renewal Quote

The final quote has been received from New India Assurance for renewal of the existing Group Health Insurance Policy in 2022-23 which is very high as the claim reimbursement for the ongoing policy is very high (Almost 18 crores against premium paid of around 7 crores with one month left). The company is not showing interest to give relaxation in the Quote Price provided for renewal of the Policy. However, AIGETOA Team is taking its best efforts to negotiate down the premium further.

The group policy floated by AIGETOA from NIA with Medi Assist as TPA was definitely a smooth and hassle-free experience with no hurdles as such in claim processing or getting treatment in best hospitals of India and that too during the most difficult COVID Period. The quote received from New India Assurance for AIGETOA GHI Policy Renewal is very high and we can not agree to such hike in premium rates. The association tried it’s level best to bring a competitive rate from the insurer till last moment but insurer didn’t agreed citing high claim in the ongoing policy.

Hence we thought it appropriate to inform one and all, so that everyone can take an informed decision.

In the present circumstances, AIGETOA may not renew the policy if the premium rates do not come down to our satisfaction. So the existing members may take a decision accordingly.

AIGETOA writes to Dir(HR) with our objection on indirect shifting of Employer’s responsibility of medical facilities towards Employees – Payment of Premium for GHIS by Employees

AIGETOA writes to the Director HR raising serious objection for indirect diversion of employer’s responsibility to the shoulder of employees by introducing the group health policy with payment of premium by employees. It is unfortunate to note that BSNL is even not following the footsteps of MTNL, which is providing the health insurance facility to their employees by paying the premium. The association demanded for payment of premium by the BSNL as the health care has to be borne by the employer.
