Daman encourages members to renew their health insurance policies

Daman is taking measures to inform it's members, whether groups or individuals, with the steps and procedures adopted, to ensure smooth renewal of the policies.

Health insurance policies should be renewed annually. Companies and individuals must inform Daman about their desire to renew their health insurance policies prior to the policy's expiration date to avoid any delays.

'With the second full year of the Health Insurance scheme approaching, we would like to ensure that all our members are aware of the renewal procedures and requirements. To ensure peace of mind, we urge all our customers who wish to renew their health insurance plan with Daman to inform the sales representatives ahead of time, in order to speed up the process time and avoid an uncovered period,' said Dr. Micheal Bitzer, CEO of Daman.

'To date, the number of members, on both the individual and corporate level,, who have renewed their polices with us, stands as a testament that our products and services have satisfied their needs to a great extent providing them with the healthcare they require,' added Dr. Bitzer.

Feedback from Daman's team shows a growing trend in companies enrolling more staff under the enhanced policies. Dr Bitzer comments: 'We are witnessing cases where companies are choosing to enroll staff who even though are entitled to Basic cover, have bought Enhanced policy plans for 2008. We believe this signifies increasing responsibility shown by local companies in caring for their staff, which is positive news for all.'

To ensure speedier processes, Daman has allocated a team to facilitate the renewal process, ensuring applicants a more timely renewal of policies, and reducing their risk of being uncovered.

Subscribing new individuals and small companies who are not eligible for the Basic plan must undergo the process of underwriting and medical evaluation prior to the renewal of their insurance policies in order to calculate the level of premiums.
