Why Jeena, Capillary Technologies and Kfin made the switch to Nova Benefits

People-first HR teams are saving time by automating the administration of employee benefits through Nova’s tech-first platform

As technology continues to improve the quality of life for people across the globe, insurtech companies are also moving from just being service providers to acting as strategic partners with their digital solutions.

As reported by IMARC, ‘The global insurtech market reached a value of US$ 3.8 Billion in 2021. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 30.4 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 41.8% during 2022-2027’

This growing trend in the insurtech industry will be seen through the innovation of new and improved tech-first solutions for administering employee benefits seamlessly, providing 24*7 customer support and reducing dependency on manual processes performed by HRs.

The problem

Administering employee benefits, including health insurance to employees should be a hassle-free process. Yet, HRs find themselves spending hours of their time cross-checking employee information, manually adding and removing employees to the policy, coordinating with insurers for unresolved claims, answering employee queries on wellness benefits and communicating with multiple brokers for employee wellness benefits.

Traditional insurers provide support through multiple points of contact and manual processes. Additionally, insurers do not provide benefits apart from health insurance, so employers have to reach out to other brokers to provide additional wellness benefits.

The major drawbacks faced by companies administering their employee benefits through traditional insurers include:

1. Manual addition and deletion of employees to the insurance plan
2. Multiple follow-ups with the insurer for employee claims or any insurance-related information
3. Multiple POCs for insurance and wellness benefits
4. Lack of instant support in case employees face any medical emergencies
5. The hassle of onboarding new employees to the employee benefits
6. Continuous queries from employees on policy details, coverage, and how to raise claims
7. No single platform to access all employee benefits
8. No access to additional wellness benefits

The solution

To provide tech-first solutions for employers, enabling both employees and HRs to enjoy their #peoplefirst benefits seamlessly. Here’s how Nova is ensuring this:

Easy-to-use portal and app and instant access to policy details:

“The experience has been delightful, the team is very supportive, and endorsements are smooth. People are appreciating the fact that there is a portal and an app to check their policy details. With the previous GMC policy we had, there were e-cards but no such portal.”

- Sai Kiran Bandlamudi, Finwater

Seamless claims support and hassle-free endorsements:

“Claim management has been great, I do not have to get involved, and the team helps proactively. The new feature for endorsements on the portal is great, much better than handling the excel files.”

- Apeksha, Leap Club

Additional wellness benefits:

“The wellness programs are a great way to increase employee engagement, a differentiator for Nova.”

- Savitha Patil, MyGate
