IC27 Mock Test Sample 9

These questions cover data usage, fraud prevention, and healthcare financing in health insurance. Departments like underwriting and actuarial teams use data for performance benchmarking. The NRHM is centrally funded but implemented by states. Fraud types include internal, external, and provider-based frauds, with prevention through technology, databases, and compliance checks. The set highlights key statistics about India’s healthcare system, including high private expenditure and drug costs. It also covers major schemes like CGHS and ESI, and global systems like the UK’s tax-funded NHS. Core concepts such as imperfect markets, third-party involvement, and financing methods like social insurance are essential for understanding health insurance dynamics.
