Source Index

Where to collect health insurance data.

Raw anonymized claim-level health insurance data is generally not public in India. For public analysis, start with IRDAI reports, insurer disclosures, data.gov.in datasets, and PM-JAY dashboards.

Priority Source Access What You Get Usefulness Next Step
1 IIB - Health Insurance Data Claim-level ecosystem data Restricted IIB collects policy, member, and claim data from insurers for health insurance. The raw claim-level data exists in the ecosystem, but it is not a normal public download. Best route for formal institutional or research requests where anonymized claim-level data is needed. Use this as a formal data-access lead, not as an immediate download source.
2 IRDAI Annual Reports Official annual performance Public Year-wise annual reports with health insurance premium, claims paid, insurer-level and industry-level statistics, ratios, and regulatory commentary. Strong official source for benchmarking and long-term trend analysis. Download the latest annual report and the previous 3-5 years for trend tables.
3 IRDAI Handbook on Indian Insurance Statistics Insurance statistics Public Year-wise insurance statistics. The IRDAI page lists the 2024-25 handbook and earlier editions. Very useful for health insurance market size, claims, premium, product mix, and industry trend analysis. Use the latest handbook as the main market-statistics source.
4 IRDAI Claims Page Claims reports Public Claims-related downloadable files under IRDAI Reports & Statistics. Some visible files are life death-claim workbooks. Useful as an official navigation point for claim statistics and downloadable files. Check whether new health/general claims files are added over time.
5 IRDAI Public Disclosures - General and Health Insurers Company-wise disclosures Public IRDAI lists insurer-wise public disclosure links for general and health insurers such as Acko, Aditya Birla Health, HDFC ERGO, ICICI Lombard, Niva Bupa, and others. Useful for company-wise claim settlement information, financial disclosures, solvency, and public-disclosure reports. Build an insurer disclosure tracker from the listed insurer URLs.
6 data.gov.in - Health Insurance Claims Amount Disbursed Open government dataset Public search Company-wise aggregated data on claims amount disbursed under health insurance business by general and health insurers, if available through the portal search. Direct public dataset for insurer-wise aggregated claim amounts, useful for demo dashboards and benchmarking. Search the exact title on data.gov.in and download CSV/API output when available.
7 NHA / PM-JAY Public Dashboard Government health scheme dashboard Public dashboard Ayushman cards, authorized hospital admissions, empanelled hospitals, and state/UT dashboard indicators. Useful for benchmarking government health scheme claims and hospital admission trends. Use dashboard views for high-level indicators and screenshots; use data.gov.in for downloadable PM-JAY datasets.
8 data.gov.in - PM-JAY Claims Submitted, Paid and Pending Open government dataset Public search State/UT and district-wise PM-JAY claims submitted, paid, and pending datasets when listed on the portal. Useful for state-wise and district-level claim-count benchmarking. Download CSV/API output for state and district datasets after confirming the latest record on data.gov.in.
9 Synthetic Indian Health Claims Dataset Internal modelling dataset To be created A safe demo dataset with disease, claim type, hospital tier, city, room rent cap, co-pay, deductions, cashless/reimbursement flag, maternity, daycare, pre/post hospitalization, and settlement amount. Best starting point for model training demos, product testing, dashboards, and claims-audit prototypes without exposing real patient data. Create this after deciding dashboard columns and analysis goals.
