Formula Used
The premium is calculated using the following formula:
Premium = (Base Rate × Coverage Factor × Age Factor × Gender Factor) + Plan Type Adjustment
Where:
- Base Rate is the standard premium for a 30-year-old male with $100,000 coverage
- Coverage Factor adjusts the premium based on the selected coverage amount
- Age Factor increases premiums for older applicants
- Gender Factor may adjust premiums based on gender-specific health statistics
- Plan Type Adjustment increases premiums for more comprehensive plans
The exact factors are proprietary to Star Health and may vary by region.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the premium for a 45-year-old female with $200,000 coverage and a Standard plan:
- Base Rate: $120 (for 30-year-old male with $100,000 coverage)
- Coverage Factor: 2.0 (for $200,000 coverage)
- Age Factor: 1.3 (for 45-year-old)
- Gender Factor: 1.1 (for female)
- Plan Type Adjustment: 1.2 (for Standard plan)
Calculation: $120 × 2.0 × 1.3 × 1.1 × 1.2 = $374.40
Your estimated monthly premium would be $374.40.
