Acko Health Insurance Claim Settlement

As a motor insurance seeker, one of the primary questions that you need to ask about any insurance company is it’s claim settlement ratio. This is like the run rate of a batsman. It gives you an idea of the insurance company’s track record with regards to settlement of claims by measuring the number of claims it has settled versus the number of claims it has received. 

You should also thoroughly acquaint yourself with the insurance company’s claim settlement processes because just in case you do suffer damage to your beloved and trusty car, you might already be too upset (and perhaps shaken up, especially if you were in an accident) to start doing research at that point. 

By the end of this article, you should be completely prepared to make a claim should your precious set of wheels meet with some unfortunate fate. 

The Acko car insurance claim settlement ratio stands at over 83% which is definitely considered to be far above average. You can say that insurer’s who boast 80% to 95% claim settlement ratio are considered to be top brass. Note that some policyholders prefer car insurance companies that have just average claim settlement ratio because they have concerns about companies with high claim settlement ratios staying profitable in the long term – of course they are only concerned about it if they have purchased a long term policy. However car insurance policy seekers on the lookout for one year policies will obviously have a preference for a high settlement ratio because that means that in the short term, the insurer is displaying a good track record of settling claims of its policyholders. 

Now let us observe the claim processes, both cashless and reimbursement claim processes.
