In our youth, life seems so fresh and joyful. As we reach the 30s age range, life remains the same in most cases but the major difference we start seeing is in our body and health. Even if you look all fit from the outside, it does not mean you are a healthy person. This is why so many people need to start taking extra good care of their health once they are in their 30s. However well we take care of our health, we also need to consider the possibility that we still may get some conditions and diseases. Getting the right treatment in such a case is not impossible but it does require a substantial amount of money. And to safeguard our finances in such a circumstance, it is prudent to buy a health insurance policy.
Once you have a health insurance policy, you do not have to think twice before getting hospitalized. Even if it is an emergency case, you can find the network hospital, get your admission, complete the required process or formalities, and get your treatment. If you have taken the cashless hospitalization option, you can simply inform the insurance company about it and the rest of the formality will be done between the insurer and the hospital.
There are basically two types of health insurance policies; individual health insurance policy and family floater health insurance policy. As you buy an individual health insurance policy, only you are covered in it. As you buy a family floater health insurance policy, the family members, whosoever’s name is mentioned in the policy, are covered. Whether you are married or not, it is always advisable to purchase a family floater health insurance policy rather than buying an individual policy for each one in the family. When you have a family floater health insurance policy, each family member can avail of the benefits of the policy up to 8 lakh.
