What Is Health & Life Insurer Insurance?
Health and life insurer insurance is a specialized commercial insurance discussion for carriers, insurance groups, service organizations, leaders, employees, systems, vendors, and locations. Effective planning considers actual underwriting, claims, benefits, policy administration, distribution, customer and provider relationships, data, privacy, information security, governance, contracts, and continuity practices.
The NAIC describes insurer governance as encompassing structure, culture, strategies, controls, and accountability. [1] Its cybersecurity working group monitors vulnerabilities, risk management, governance practices, and breaches with potential effects on the insurance industry. [2] Insurance is not a substitute for regulatory compliance, privacy practices, legal advice, governance, or risk management; availability and terms vary.
