IRDAI imposes Rs 1.11 crore penalty on Policybazaar

The insurance regulator has imposed a Rs 1.11 crore penalty on web aggregator Policybazaar for violation of regulations. Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) said Policybazaar entered into a partnership with a non-insurance entity called 'Indian Health Organization by Aetna' (IHO) and offered incentives to its customers in violation of regulations. IRDAI said incentives included complimentary wellness benefits for all new eligible customers and covered five OPD consultations, unlimited telemedicine consultations, unlimited second opinion services, as well as pharmacy discounts. Further, the web aggregator also displayed the services offered by IHO on its website. This is a violation of regulations as these entities are not allowed to advertise products and services of other entities.

ICICI Lombard using AI for fraud detection

ICICI Lombard using AI for fraud detection

Private sector insurer ICICI Lombard is using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to not only improve claims processing and settlement but also to detect frauds in segments such as motor and health insurance. “We use machine learning to figure out when the surveyor is assessing motor claims to see which parts are outliers. Auto parts are priced differently across the country, but in case some garage charges very high, the algorithm can throw it up. It shows anything which is 5% too high or too low as an outlier,” Girish Nayak, Chief of Customer Service, Operations and Technology said. Similarly, in the case of medical claims, the insurer is using machine learning AI to check if a hospital may be sending claims for a particular illness at a particular price. “In such cases, you know there is something wrong and you send someone to check it. This can increase efficiency and help detect frauds better,” Nayak said.
