IC29 Mock Test Sample 18

General insurance claims involve policy extensions, deductibles, sub-limits, salvage valuation, and recovery rights. Extended Reporting Periods (ERP) allow reporting of claims after policy expiry for acts committed during the policy term. Claim analytics improve fraud detection, operational efficiency, and turnaround time. Health insurance policies commonly include waiting periods, ambulance charge limits, and hospitalisation conditions. In engineering and liability policies, clauses like cross liability and ALOP define coverage scope and indemnity periods. TPAs assist in claim servicing but do not issue policies or decide premiums. Proper document retention, salvage assessment, and application of average clauses are essential for transparent and accurate claim settlement processes.
