(مطبعة جامعة الملك سعود, 01/07/1439) Mohamed Abdelmawla Osman
The insurance sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been growing in recent year in particular, the fields of health and automobile insurance. However, some insurance companies have incurred excessive losses in health insurance and exited the market as their financial position affected. Therefore, this paper explores the determinants of individuals’ health insurance that affect their claims. In other words, what are the demographic factors for policyholders that affect their health insurance claim amounts in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia? An analysis of the risk factors that affect such claims is useful in risk control, as well as in managing the risks of adverse selection and assisting insurance companies to apply proper underwriting procedures. Some statistical models may use to analyze the determinants of health insurance claims; the paper suggests a statistical (logistic) model for the primary determinants of these claims. This model revealed five significant demographic factors: age, gender, nationality, and two types of marital status factors may affect the classification of individual health insurance claims by an overall percentage 90.8%.These demographic factors may use as a guide for underwriters in making crucial and successful decisions while rating new health insurance policies or renewing current policies.
