Claim Settlement Ratio
✓ Last verified 14 Sep 2026
The short version
Claim settlement ratio is the percentage of claims an insurer paid out of total claims received in a year - a useful, but incomplete, signal of how reliably an insurer honors claims.
See our full article on claim settlement ratio for the complete picture, including why it's counted by number of claims (not value) and why health insurance is more commonly assessed through claim rejection ratio and incurred claim ratio instead. A consistently high ratio is a good sign, but worth checking alongside the policy's actual coverage terms, not treated as a standalone ranking metric.
