How Does Blockchain Technology
 Help In Health Insurance
Ever since Blockchain technology emerged, we have seen its widespread use 
across the different segments. It is due to Blockchain’s features like immutability, 
data security, transparency, and decentralization that Blockchain has become a 
technology that has garnered the interest of many companies. Every business 
niche is investing in this technology to leverage the DLT platform for its business 
operations.

At present, most of the big names in the industry hailing from different business 
sectors are investing in Blockchain. Many startups are also working on Blockchain 
technology. In this blog, we will be focusing on health insurance sectors. However, 
health insurance uses all the modern technology and digital platforms to keep the 
data and information secure and run their operations, vulnerabilities, and ease of 
accessibility. Here Blockchain plays a vital role. Let’s discuss how.

Blockchain And Health Insurance
1. Interoperable And Comprehensive Health Records- One of how Blockchain 
can prove helpful to the health insurance sector is by providing an interoperable 
data platform that is not only secured but at the same time provides easier 
accessibility.

2. Administrative And Strategic Work With Smart Contracts- One of the most 
significant benefits of Blockchain is smart contracts. These digitized contracts 
work automatically once the conditions of the contract are met. Blockchain can 
collect all the data, agreements, records, and transactions and act on the data 
using smart contracts.

3. Fraud Detection- One of the challenging problems which Blockchain can help 
with is fraud detection. When a fake information is submitted to a health insurer via 
false claims or applications, it causes a huge loss to the system in the form of 
money. But with the help of Blockchain and smart contracts, the health insurance 
company can cross-check the claim and verify it, thus making the system 
trustworthy and transparent.

4. Promoting client-insurer relationship- Data security and accessibility are 
something that every client wants. With Blockchain’s help, we have a secured 
system that is easier to access, and at the same time, all the information is 
encrypted cryptographically. Thus it helps in creating a secured system.

5. Ease Of Accessibility- Any business’s success relies on how easy it is to 
access the data. Well, Blockchain provides a platform that is both public and 
private. The user has the key to this DLT can access the data at any time. 
Moreover, the decentralized server ensures that the data is always accessible. All 
this eventually helps in improving the operations of the healthcare sector. This 
makes the healthcare insurance sector a more client-centric system. All of this will 
enhance the functioning of the healthcare insurance sector.

Concluding Thoughts-Even though the healthcare insurance sector contributes 
to a good share of global business, the development regarding the same is very 
slow. The reliance on conventional technology is not reaping the benefits that it 
should. As per Tieron, healthcare data is the prime target for hackers. In the dark 
web world, healthcare data is sold for $20 compared to the credit card number, 
which is sold at $1. Such pressure makes it inevitable for healthcare companies to 
focus on systems that are far more secure and keep hackers at bay.

Blockchain promises many promises which will help in making the system far 
more secured and seamless in operations. With all this, Blockchain can prove to 
be extremely beneficial. If you, too, are willing to make a career in technology, 
Blockchain will offer you the right field of growth.
