Q.1-10.Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some questions.
Health insurers are working out plans by which your insurance application is almost instantly passed without medical tests. All you would need to do is submit a declaration that you are medically fit, and pay the required payment, to start a health insurance policy.
At present, customers seeking health insurance have to go through several diagnostic tests before the insurance company finally issues the product to you. Moreover, it takes a week to 10 days for an application to get processed by the insurance company.
While private stand alone health insurer Max Bupa recently initiated the process of instant approval - albeit on a limited scale to see how it works on the ground level - Apollo Munich is working on the modalities of such a model, and government owned insurance companies could follow suit.
“Customers can choose a policy as per their requirements, upon completion of the payment process, they instantly receive the policy number; the policy details are sent to the customer within 30 minutes,” a Max Bupa spokesperson said.”We are working on the process, health insurance should be able to come to customers within minutes, our aim is to ensure that there is no waiting time,” said chief executive officer, Apollo Munich.
