Insurance
Incurred claim ratio (ICR)
How much an insurer paid in claims versus premiums collected, a health-insurer health check.
ICR compares total claims paid to total premiums collected. An 80% ICR means the insurer paid ₹80 in claims for every ₹100 collected.
For health insurance, an ICR between roughly 60% and 90% is a healthy sign: they pay claims but stay solvent.
A very low ICR can hint the insurer is stingy with claims; a very high one can signal future premium hikes.
For example
A health insurer with a steady 75% ICR is generally paying claims fairly while remaining financially sustainable.
