tiGO Insurance hospital support claims up 50%

Tigo Insurance has increased hospital insurance claims for its customers from GH¢20 to GH¢30 a month.
The move, which represents a 50 per cent rise is due to recent adjustments in its policy cover.

“For airtime deductions as little as 15p for 10 days, customers are eligible to benefit and can claim up to 30 nights a year and receive up to GH¢900 per year instead of the previous limit of GH¢600”, the company said. 

At a ceremony in Accra to present a claims cheque to a client, the Operations Manager of tiGO Insurance, Ms Barbara Asante, said: “Apart from the 50 per cent increase in the claims amount, our customers no longer have to be on hospital admission for three days or more to be eligible for the hospital support cover.”

According to her, “Our upgraded policy now gives cover to patients who spend just a single night in the hospital.”

She explained that all tiGO Insurance claims were paid within 72 hours and added that “Customers are required to call 550 once admitted to hospital and bring a valid ID and excuse duty to any tiGO Service Centre to make their claim”.

Ms Asante noted that tiGO was already paying over 300 claims per month on its tiGO Hospital Support plan.
tiGO Insurance Hospital Support is one of Ghana’s most popular low-cost insurance products, with more than 1.1 million registered customers.

Tigo Insurance is managed by BIMA, a micro-insurance agent protecting low-income families in 14 countries across the world.
