Editorial Review

“Star Health's ₹15,400 crore retail premium book makes it India's undisputed dedicated health insurance leader by scale. However, its ~85% claim settlement ratio — well below HDFC ERGO's 96.71% — means buyers should weigh its affordability (₹13/day) against the higher probability of claim friction relative to peers.”
