FAQ:

1. How to claim the tax benefit? How much are the limits and who can claim the benefit?

You can claim tax deduction u/s 80 D of Income Tax Act for premium paid towards health insurance as per the limit below

  • For Self and Family (All members below 60 years), the maximum amount that can be saved under section 80D is ₹25,000

  • For Self and Family (with eldest member above 60 years) with Senior Citizen Parents, the maximum amount that can be saved under section 80D is ₹1,00,000 (₹50,000 + ₹50,000)
2. How do I claim tax benefit if I opt for a 3 year policy?

You can choose to claim the tax benefit either each year or in one go. Ex. If you have paid ₹24,000/- for 3 years, you can claim ₹8,000/- as tax benefit each year or choose to claim the entire ₹24,000/- in one year. 

3. I am already covered in my Company policy, should I still buy another health insurance policy?

We suggest you should because coverage in most corporate health policies is,

  • Limited to only ₹2-3 lakhs, which is quite inadequate given high costs of treatment
  • Stops immediately in case of a job switch, job loss or retirement
  • Is subject to change as per employer’s discretion

Therefore, one must always have a personal health insurance policy to take care of any medical expenses any time.

4. What are the top reasons an insurer can decline a claim?

There are various reasons for which an insurer can decline a claim. Some of them are:

  • Non-disclosure : if a person did not completely disclose any past or present medical condition or lifestyle habit, such as smoking or drinking
  • Claim Made in Waiting period : Person files a claim even though the waiting period is not over for the particular disease
  • Policy in Grace Period : If a person hasn’t renewed the policy before expiry date, policy enters grace period, where insurer isn’t liable to pay claims

5. I am living outside India, how can I buy health insurance?

If you are an NRI, you are eligible to purchase health insurance plan in India and just need proof of residence, IT returns and other related documents for making the purchase. Please note that most of the health insurance policies come with a clause of ‘geographical restrictions’, which indicates that the policy will not cover any expense of the insured outside India. In that case, if you reside in the USA and seek medical supervision, the insurance company in India will not cover you for the expenses incurred.

6. What if multiple members in my family have to make a claim?

We recommend to look for policies providing Unlimited Auto Restoration of Sum Insured, so that in an unfortunate event of multiple members requiring medical care or hospitalization, they can avail the same under the policy.

7. What is the right age to buy health insurance?

One must buy health insurance as young as possible. Here’s why:

  • You can get a policy easily since you are fit and fine
  • You complete the waiting periods at a young age
  • The premiums are very less
8. Will my premium increase next year once I purchase health insurance?

Health insurance premiums are adjusted as per the rising medical costs. Few insurers increase the premium in a block of 5 years, while others increase marginally each year. Hence it is always advisable to go for multi-year policy to get discounts and save more.

9. Can I include my parents, spouse, children and myself in one policy?

Yes, you can include all the above in one health insurance policy. If you would like to include your in-laws in place of parents, you can do that as well. However, considering the age of your parents and their pre-existing health conditions, you should take one policy for them and a separate one for yourself, spouse and children to get the best premium options.

10. What will my policy not cover?

A general list of exclusions from a health insurance policy are as follows:

  • Infertility
  • Injuries/illnesses that result from illegal activities
  • Injuries suffered as a result of engaging in adventure sports
  • Addiction treatments
  • Dental treatments (unless the dental injury results from an accident)
  • Genetic disease/Congenital conditions
  • Cosmetic treatments
  • Treatment for self-harm
  • Alternative therapies

11. Whether Health Insurance is available lifelong once taken a policy?

Health insurance is required to be renewed each year unless you have taken a multi-year plan in which case the policy needs to be renewed at the end of last year to keep getting all the benefits and continued coverage.

12. What are disease-wise sub limits?

When the insurer puts limits or restrictions on a particular set of illnesses in your health insurance policy, it is referred to as putting sub limits. In case of any claims arising in such a case, only the amount up to the limit will be paid by the insurer for that particular illness. The remaining, if any, needs to be paid by you. Therefore, look for plans that do not have any sublimits. 

13. What is unlimited restoration?

There are also some plans which can be restored unlimited times in the policy year So, it is always advisable to check with your health insurer before opting for this benefit. For most health insurers, the total sum insured is restored only if the entire sum insured is exhausted under a single claim.

14. Are Alternative treatments covered?

A health insurance plan that covers treatment through alternative medicines such as Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy is known as AYUSH cover. It varies from insurer to insurer and mostly offered in comprehensive policies.
