What Is Group Health Insurance?
Group health insurance is a health insurance policy generally taken by an employer, company or organisation for a defined group of people, usually employees. Depending on the policy, eligible dependants may also be covered.
The employer or organisation generally selects the policy structure and coverage requirements with the insurer. The actual benefits, eligibility, sum insured, exclusions, waiting periods and other conditions depend on the group policy terms.
