Health insurance is a type of policy that provides individuals with protection in the event of illness or injury. Under the terms of the policy, the insurer agrees to cover the medical expenses incurred by the insured, including hospitalizations, surgeries, and other medically necessary procedures outlined in the contract. This valuable coverage allows individuals to access top-quality medical care without the fear of financial strain or depletion of savings.
An individual indemnity-based health insurance policy provides coverage to the insured for the cost of medical expenses up to the sum insured in the policy. The insured must submit hospital bills with details of the expenses incurred during the stay to receive reimbursement.
TA family floater health insurance plan is similar to the individual policy but extends to and covers the entire family. In the event of multiple illnesses, the sum assured is divided between family members to cater to multiple claims simultaneously.
For individuals above the age of 65, the Senior Citizen health insurance plan provides financial aid to cover medical treatments. These plans often offer critical illness cover, cashless hospitalisation, pre-existing conditions cover, and a higher sum assured, ensuring the right coverage at the right time.
Critical illness coverage is a valuable financial tool that can be provided as a supplementary rider or as an independent policy. This coverage offers a lump sum benefit in the event of the policyholder's diagnosis with a severe ailment such as cancer, heart disease, paralysis, renal failure, and more. It is important to note that there is typically a waiting period of 30 days before the policyholder can make a claim for their initial diagnosis.
Given the unpredictability and high costs associated with treating critical illnesses, this type of coverage provides individuals with peace of mind and financial security during an already difficult time. As a result, it is imperative to carefully consider incorporating critical illness coverage into one's overall financial planning strategy.
An individual seeking additional healthcare coverage may opt for a top-up individual health insurance policy, which is an indemnity plan designed to provide coverage to those with an existing health insurance policy. This valuable coverage allows individuals to claim medical expenses even after the sum insured has been exhausted. It is important to note that this policy includes mandatory deductibles and coverage is only provided once the deductibles have been paid.
Families with an existing health insurance policy may choose a top-up family health insurance policy to supplement their coverage. This indemnity policy offers valuable coverage to families, allowing them to claim medical expenses even after the sum insured has been exhausted. By paying the mandatory deductibles, families can ensure that they have access to the medical treatment they need without worrying about the high costs associated with it.
With the rise in the number of people suffering from critical illnesses, health insurance plans now offer specific coverage for diseases like cardiac conditions, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. These plans cater to patients with the specific disease and cover a range of medical expenses such as tests, treatments, and hospitalization.
These plans provide coverage for various medical expenses related to heart conditions. These plans cater to patients with cardiac diseases and cover the costs of diagnostic tests, treatments, and hospitalization.
These plans provide coverage for hospitalization from the first day of diagnosis. Based on medical tests and health parameters like BMI, blood pressure, HbA1c, cholesterol, these plans even offer incentives to maintain good health.
These plans provide coverage for all medical treatment expenses that arise due to cancer at any stage. A portion of the cover is received upon diagnosis of cancer at an early stage, waiving off all future premiums. If diagnosed at a later stage, the full cover amount is received with an additional income for a stipulated period.
These plans are fixed benefit policies that pay a lump sum equal to the entire sum insured when diagnosed with a vector-borne disease such as malaria, dengue, or chikungunya. The policyholder needs to be hospitalized for a minimum, continuous period of 72 hours to make a claim.
Personal accident insurance provides coverage in the event of an accident, which is not typically included in life or health insurance policies. In the unfortunate occurrence of an accident, standard insurance policies may not cover loss of life or the inability to earn an income. However, a personal accident policy offers comprehensive coverage for loss of life, limb, or disablement resulting from accidents that occur during the commute, workplace, or general daily activities.
Hospi-cash insurance is a daily cash plan designed to provide financial assistance to the insured during their hospitalization. This insurance product offers a predetermined daily allowance, which remains fixed throughout the policy term and is not subject to adjustment. As a defined benefit plan, hospi-cash insurance provides a predictable and reliable source of financial support to the policyholder during their stay in the hospital.
Health insurance is an essential tool that offers financial security to individuals and families in India. The rising costs of medical treatments make health insurance a necessary investment for everyone.
Health insurance companies in India offer comprehensive coverage for medical expenses such as hospitalisation, outpatient procedures, ambulance charges, and domiciliary expenses. With the increasing costs of medical treatments, it is essential to have a health insurance policy to ensure access to quality medical care.
Health insurance policies come with a critical illness rider that offers coverage in the event of life-threatening or altering illnesses such as renal failure, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, paralytic strokes, and accidental dismemberment. If the insured is diagnosed with any of the ailments listed in the policy, they are eligible to receive a lump sum amount that can be utilised for treatment costs, daily expenditure, and other needs.
Health insurance policies offer cashless claim facilities at leading hospitals in India. This facility allows the insurance company to directly settle the hospital bill, relieving the insured of the burden of chasing reimbursement. To avail of this facility, the insured needs to be admitted to any of the network hospitals mentioned in the policy.
The premium paid for health insurance is eligible for tax deductions under Section 80(D) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Health insurance purchased for the spouse, children, and the insured can avail up to Rs. 25,000 tax deduction. If the health insurance also includes parents below the age of 60, the tax deduction can go up to an additional Rs. 25,000, making the total tax savings Rs. 50,000. Health insurance that includes parents above the age of 60 can avail total tax savings of Rs. 75,000. An additional deduction of Rs. 5000 goes towards the payment of preventive health check-ups for the insured, the parents, spouse, and children.
It is essential for children and adults to protect them from deadly diseases that can be prevented with vaccines. Opting for a vaccination cover when purchasing health insurance ensures timely administration of the vaccine. This rider offers financial and health security by protecting the insured from medical expenses such as the cost of the vaccine.
This insurance is a type of health insurance plan that offers coverage for medical expenses incurred when undergoing surgery. It includes the cost of procedures that require hospitalisation as well as outpatient surgical procedures.
50+ Years Experience
In the Insurance Industry
Age: The minimum age for a child health insurance policy is 16 days, and it can be purchased until the child is 18 years old. For an adult, the entry age is 18 years and can be purchased until 65 years of age.
Pre-existing Conditions: If an individual is diagnosed with a pre-existing medical condition, they may still be eligible for health insurance coverage, but they need to wait for a stipulated waiting period before making any claims related to that condition. The waiting period varies from one insurer to another, ranging from two to four years.
Medical Check-Up: Individuals who are above a certain age, generally 45 years, need to undergo a medical check-up before purchasing a health insurance policy. The insurance company evaluates the medical reports to determine the risk involved in providing coverage and may either increase the premium or reject the application altogether.
Occupation: Occupational hazards can be a factor in determining the premium for health insurance policies. If an individual's job poses a high risk to their health, such as working in a hazardous environment or performing risky activities, they may need to pay a higher premium for their health insurance policy.
Lifestyle Habits: Lifestyle habits such as smoking and drinking can have a detrimental effect on an individual's health, leading to the need for medical treatment. Insurance companies take these factors into consideration and may either charge a higher premium or exclude coverage for related ailments.
Health insurance plans offer comprehensive coverage for medical expenses, but it's important to be aware of exclusions to avoid disappointment during claims. Here are some common exclusions to keep in mind:

Health insurance plans typically do not cover pre-existing conditions that were diagnosed, treated, or showed symptoms before the policy was issued.
