What are affordable health insurance plans? 12th February 2020

Health insurance is a type of policy that offers coverage for medical as well as surgical expenses incurred by the policyholder when they are hospitalized during the policy period. Most of the health insurances today provide coverage of daycare hospitalization, pre-hospitalization as well as post-hospitalization and the expenses incurred during these periods are either reimbursed to the insured individual or are paid to the healthcare provider directly.

There are many health insurance providers in India which provide numerous affordable health insurance plans for individuals and also for the whole family. Such health insurance plans have many different benefits, and each plan provides different types of coverage depending on the premium amount of the insurance.

Some of the common benefits that are given in most of the healthcare plans are: -

  • One of the biggest benefits of a healthcare plan is the cashless settlement of claims. Most of the times the insurance provider will directly transfer the claim amount to the healthcare provider instead of reimbursing the amount to the insured individual.
  • Most of the insurance providers cover almost all the major hospitals of the country, and you can use your health card to claim the benefits of your insurance at the hospitals covered by your insurance. There is almost 50% to 75% coverage of the major hospitals in the country with all the big names included in the list.
  • You get the premium amount of the insurance tailored according to your needs. You can get the plan for an individual or for all the members of your family, and the premium will be decided based on the age group of all the members of the family. You can also get different insurances for all of your family members if you require.
  • Once you buy an affordable health insurance plan, you also get the benefit of free medical checkup for every claim-free year. You can use this benefit to get a complete body checkup.
  • In case of a medical emergency that arises suddenly, it can take away all your financial savings for the treatment of the individual very quickly. If you have health insurance, you will have a peace of mind because you will be able to provide financially for the treatment of the particular disease or problem.
  • There are many different insurance plans available depending on the maximum entry age of the individual they allow for the insurance. Many insurance providers set a maximum entry age limit of 80 years while there are some insurance providers that have plans with no upper limit on the maximum entry age.
  • Nowadays, you can buy an affordable health insurance plan online and pay the premiums online as well.
