Insurance

A medical emergency may impose a burden on your pocket with high bills, disturbing your whole financial layout!!

Medical insurance is the contract between the policyholder and the insurance provider where the insurance provider offers complete or partial cover for the medical treatment and expenses incurred during hospitalization and treatment.

With medical insurance, the policyholder can get cashless treatment in the network of hospitals covered by the insurance provider. This helps in surviving the battle of medical treatment more competently. With sky-high hospital and treatment bills, you may suffer financial instability which will hamper all your future plans. In this situation, medical insurance acts as an ultimate survivor, saving you with its cashless payments and reimbursement features.

According to IRDAI, 76% of the country's total population is not covered under any medical insurance. Few curiosities which arise among those without Insurance are:

•  I maintain a very healthy lifestyle. Why do I need medical insurance?
•  I don't have any medical history. I will not get any disease.
•  I will not get any major disease or illness apart from fever, cough, and cold. Medical insurance covers major and critical illness. Why should I invest in medical insurance?
•  What if I invest in medical insurance and my diseases and illnesses are not covered in the insurance?

These questions may arise, but if we talk about the real scenario, the number of patients on every medical front has been increasing with every passing year. Cancer alone has experienced a drastic increase in recent years.

Severe environmental changes have caused a major impact on health leading to various diseases and illnesses. A sedentary lifestyle has also contributed to this increment which can unexpectedly trap any healthy individual.

Rising costs of treatment and surgeries hit your financial stature drastically. Many times the roaring bills of hospitalization and treatment become subject to inadequate funds, making a difficult survival situation for the patient. Even if you manage to pay the bills, the aftermath of the treatment continues to disturb your financial structure in the years ahead.

In cases where the treatment is preceded by the insurance money, you get a cashless or a reimbursement treatment which lets you get over the medical conditions without affecting you financially.

Keeping into account the immense number of benefits medical insurance provides you, it is extremely important to choose the one that suits you and your family the best. It is advisable to get the best suitable plan based on your medical history and conditions rather than going for generalized ones. Before opting for a medical insurance plan, the following factors should be considered

Policy coverage limit

It is extremely important to choose the plan which ensures coverage for your needs rather than just overburdening you with high premiums. Check the depth of the coverage your medical insurance provides depending on your requirements.

Sub-limits and exclusions of the policy

We often overlook the limitations in the policy offered during treatment like ambulance charges, room rent limits, consultation charges, etc. Also, it is important to check the exclusions for your disease and treatment to avoid last-minute financial hassles.

The network of hospitals covered

The number of hospitals covered in the policy offering cashless treatments acts as an ultimate savior in times of emergency. While choosing medical insurance, choose the insurer offering a wider network of cashless hospitalization in hospitals near you.

Premium amount

Choose the premium amount as per your financial liabilities so that it doesn't burn a hole in your pocket.
