TiE Suraksha Group Health Insurance

tie suraksha group health insurance

A business is nothing without the people who work behind the scenes. While the entrepreneur may have big dreams, it is ultimately the team, with whose help he/she can realize the goals. It is the team that plays a key role in understanding and executing the founder’s vision. Fast-paced startups are becoming a preferred workplace for individuals entering the job market. With so much new talent raring to join them and their vision, startup founders have their pick of talent. Because the allocation of a limited budget is often a big priority for startups, and because most startups don’t have large HR teams, not-so immediate priorities like healthcare often get thrown on the backburner. While many startups put wellness as a priority in their company culture, founders should take care to pay attention to employee health insurance.

Health insurance for startups is a great way to reduce operating costs. Generally, it costs more for an individual to purchase their own health insurance plans, be it for themselves or for their families. Company-provided health insurance, sponsored by employers is more desirable for employees (as it covers nearly everything with no waiting periods) and can be a big motivating factor that gets candidates to choose your startup. Another big benefit is that healthy team is a more productive team – period. So it should come as no surprise that healthy employees have been found to be three times more productive than sick ones.

Now that you know why you should prioritize your team’s health insurance, it’s time to see the steps you need to take to choose the right health insurance for your startup. TiE Delhi-NCR in partnership with Plancover Insurance is coming out for the very first time in India a Group Health Insurance Cover titled “TiE Suraksha” to empower member startups and it’s employees. This health insurance has been carefully and very specially designed keeping in mind our members to ensure maximum coverage and benefits at the lowest of the cost ever possible from the insurance industry.

minimum period of 24 hrs is mandatory for any claim from the policy. However, this 
condition is waived under certain procedures which are called “Daycare procedures” where

      ■Pre Existing Disease / Conditions waiting period - Typically applicable for 3 years or 4

Plan 1 - Waiting periods are applicable. 
Plan 2 - All waiting periods are waived off, except for maternity which has a waiting period 
of 9 months. This means if a covered person gets pregnant on or after taking the policy, 
with the gestation periods of  9  months, the claim will be paid. Hence, anyone pregnant as 
on the date of taking the cover, will not be eligible for the maternity benefits.  
Plan 3 - No standard waiting periods, except for Pre-existing diseases and conditions for

Plan 1 - Available only for employees.  
Plan 2 - Covers for the employee, spouse, and up to 2 children.  
Plan 3 - You can cover your entire family members including dependent parents only.  

No. The policy is annually renewable and valid only for a maximum period of 12 months.

The insurance plans cover expenses for both cashless and reimbursement claims. 
Cashless claims are paid directly to the hospital by the insurer. Reimbursement claims are 
paid to the employee directly through an electronic transfer. In the event of the death of the 
employee, then the claim will be paid to the beneficiary/legal heir of the employee. 

There is no co-payment on claims in any of the plans. However, Plan 1 has sub-limits for 
specific diseases and room rent. Other plans allow you unrestricted access to a Single 
standard AC room.

To keep the administration of the policy simple, the premiums have been normalized across all types of 
family composition. In case you are to get married during the tenure of the policy, you will not 
be charged an additional premium. The same goes in case a married couple has a child during 
the policy tenure. Just upon intimation, they will  get added to the policy

In this case, you will be eligible for  Plan 3. 

As mentioned above, these premiums have been normalized across various combinations of parents - hence you will need to opt for the standardized plan 3  

TiE Delhi-NCR has provided a list of all active members. Only those members will be eligible for coverage 

○ Enrollment is the process of getting your employees and their dependents to sign up for the 
insurance. You have a window period of 45 days from the plan launch date to get enrolled 
in any of the plans under this program.  
○ We will provide you with the online link for uploading the employee’s database which then 
will let you know the premium. You can then remit the premiums online. You will also 
provide the GST details to confirm that the company is either a proprietorship, private 
limited, or public limited.  
○ Your coverage will start from the date you provide the employee details and make the 
premium payment or any other designated date.  
○ You and your employees will be provided with individual login Ids 

Yes.  However, these additions during the midterm will be restricted to natural additions ( 
newlywed spouse, or newborn baby). You cannot add dependent parents midterm of the 
policy. 

Both cashless and reimbursement claims are paid under this insurance. The insurer has a 
wide network of hospitals across India for cashless settlement of claims. Reimbursement 
claims will be paid within 30 days of submission of all documents.

Every individual member who is enrolled in the insurance will get an electronic card 
(cashless health card) that can be used at hospitals for availing cashless treatments. 
However, cashless treatments are possible only in a network of hospitals. If you take 
treatment in a non-network hospital, you can only take reimbursement of the claim.

In case you have more than one policy, either a personal cover or coverage through a 
spouse insurance plan, you can always claim under both policies. This claim typically takes 
care of unpaid bill amounts due to capping in some policies. Such amounts will be either 
unpaid due to room rent capping, treatment capping for example in Maternity claims. In any
event, the amount claimed from all polices cannot exceed your overall cost of the hospital 
bill

In case of hospitalization under the policy, all Outpatient expenses - 30 days before the 
date of admission and 60 days after the date of discharge, related to the main 
hospitalization will be paid. Stand-alone OPD charges are not covered in these highly cost 
effective plans. 

In case the premiums are being recovered from the employee’s salary, you 
will need to mention that on Form 16. In which case, individually the employees can take 
advantage of tax benefit under section 80D
