Health insurance or medical insurance is an insurance product that provides coverage for expenses in the event of an illness or injury. Health insurance plans safeguard your hard-earned funds from being spent on expenses related to hospitalisation, medicines, consultation, and more. A health insurance policy can also be viewed as an agreement between you and your insurer that binds them to cover you financially in case of any medical emergency.
There are several types of health insurance policies in India. Choosing a suitable policy for yourself and your family is necessary so that you can relax when it comes to paying hefty medical bills. You not only get covered for the treatment cost with your policy, but also get facilities such as cashless treatment and quality healthcare at a reputed network hospital.
An effective medical insurance policy is essential because the prices of medicines and hospital treatments are rising day-by-day. If an accident or critical illness befalls you, it will may cause a huge financial burden for you and your dependents. A hard-hitting truth is that whether the hospitalisation is planned or not, it comes as an unpleasant surprise, and it is sure to cost you heavily. So, it’s better to have the protection of a health insurance policy, which besides helping you to manage your finances, also offers you several other benefits at very affordable premium rates. You can also check out the various health insurance quotes online to figure out which one is most suited to your budget.
Here are 5 reasons that will make you understand the importance of having the right health insurance plan:
✓ Financial Help: A health insurance policy will ease the burden of paying hefty medical bills from your pocket. You can save your hard-earned money for living your life to the fullest instead of spending a huge part of it on medical care. If you are worried about the premium rates, then please be assured that you can get adequate insurance cover at a pocket-friendly cost. You also get discounts like such as a family discount, which will allow you to purchase medical insurance plans at a relatively low premium.
✓ Quality Medical Care: You can avail the benefit of cashless claims and quality medical care is available if the treatment is sought at a network hospital. A network hospital is a hospital that has an agreement with the health insurance company, which enables you to get the best treatment without having to shell out a large amount from your pocket.
✓ Tax saving: In India, the payments you make towards your health insurance policies are eligible for tax deductions under section 80D of the Income Tax Act. You can avail the maximum deductions of ₹ 1 lakh if you buy a policy for yourself and your loved ones, and if you and your parents are senior citizens.
✓ Extensive Coverage: Health insurance plans provide cover not only against hospitalisation expenses, but also provide cover against critical illnesses, accidental injury, maternity-related expenses, consultations, check-ups, and more. This extensive coverage is offered through a wide array of different types of health insurance policies.
✓ Peace of mind: If you are secured on the financial front, then even a trip to a hospital can feel a little less stressed. Having medical insurance gives you the peace of mind that can help you relax in a tense situation.
Health insurance offered by various companies in the country is accompanied by several features and benefits. You must evaluate these policies and select the best health insurance policy from them.
Buying a health insurance cover is important. Yet, there are times when people are reluctant to buy an appropriate cover. Often, people get confused between the different types of health insurance policies that are available.
When buying a policy, it is important to choose a health cover that fulfils your needs. Let us start by understanding the key differences between individual and family floater policies:
Point of Comparison |
Individual Health Insurance Policy |
Family Floater Health Insurance |
Definition |
Individual health insurance is the type of policy where the proposer and family members can be covered in the same plan. However, the sum insured is separate (i.e., not shared) for each insured member in the policy. |
A family floater policy is a type of health insurance policy where multiple family members can be covered under one plan. Here, the sum insured is shared amongst all family members in one plan. |
Sum Insured |
The sum insured will be separate for each insured member. |
The entire family gets covered under one sum insured |
Coverage |
The insurance benefit is extended to the primary insured member and dependent family members that include self, spouse, children, parents, parents-in-law, sister, brother, grandchildren, aunt, and uncle. However, each insured member will have a sum insured of their own. |
The policy benefit is extended to the primary insured member and dependent family members that include spouse, and dependent children, dependent parents. |
Premium |
Since, in an individual policy, the sum insured is separate for each family member and thus, the premium is the determining basis of the sum insured, coverage opted and each member’s age. |
This type of plan is cost-effective as it is one premium is paid for all the members of the family. Premium is decided according to the age of the eldest member covered under the plan. |
Under the individual health policy, the proposer and dependent family members can be covered in the plan with a separate sum insured. So, in case you are looking forward to securing yourself along with your family members where you need not share your sum insured, consider choosing an individual insurance plan. You can avail of cashless treatments at over 8000+ network hospitals with our insurance plans.

We at Bajaj Allianz GIC have a range of 8000+ network hospitals across India. We believe in protecting you and your hard-earned money. Our average claim settlement time is around 1 hour. It is one of the fastest claim settlement durations in the insurance industry.

At Bajaj Allianz General Insurance, we provide coverage for Ayurvedic and Homeopathic hospitalisation. However, other treatments such as naturopathy, acupuncture, magnetic therapy, etc. are not covered in health insurance plans. This, however, may vary between insurer to insurer and plan to plans. Hence, it is recommended to go through the plan carefully, assess the needs, and only then, make the buying decision.
6. Will this medical insurance policy continue to be right if my needs change?
You can make changes to your existing health insurance coverage as per the terms and conditions mentioned in the policy schedule.

There are chances you might think that buying a health insurance policy is not much important. Here is a rundown of the common things that we often think about:
If you think that only a corporate health insurance policy is enough to secure the medical expenses, then you are mistaken. A corporate health insurance policy will cover you only for the job term. So, whenever you leave the job or switch companies, you lose the health insurance benefits. Some companies do not offer insurance coverage during probation. Corporate medical insurance policies usually offers low sum insured and does not provide comprehensive coverage. Hence, it is recommended to choose a comprehensive health insurance policy.
In case you live in a metro city, it is advised to choose a high sum insured considering the medical treatment in such cities is higher. Only bThus, buying a policy with insufficient coverage is of no use in the long run. Select a sum insured that covers the medical expenses as per the requirements. In case you have immediate dependents, then opt for a health insurance plan assessing their needs, medical inflation, and an appropriate sum insured.
Do not buy a policy just because it is available at a low premium. It is important to look at the coverage and benefits that the policy offers. This aspect should not be neglected at any cost. In case you buy a health insurance plan with a low premium, there are chances that you are missing out on critical coverage. Choose a plan that is value-for-money and that can take care of the rising medical needs considering your lifestyle.
Remember, having a comprehensive health insurance policy is more than just saving taxes. A health insurance plan surely lets you avail of the tax benefit under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act. However, you should have medical insurance in place so that you are worry-free in critical times, at least financially. In case your family is to be taken care of, choose a family floater health insurance policy.
When it comes to buying a health insurance policy, several factors must be taken care of. The table below shows the common eligibility criteria that must be considered while selecting a suitable health insurance cover:
| Age criteria | Age is an important aspect that should be considered while buying a medical insurance plan. A health insurance plan can be bought for children, adults, and senior citizens. There are dedicated plans as per the age of the individual. Usually, a standard plan covers individuals aged between 18 to 65 years of age. |
| Pre-existing Diseases | A pre-existing disease is covered only after the completion of the waiting period. When buying the health insurance policy, the insurer asks the applicant about the current medical condition such as kidney problems, blood pressure, and more. |
| Smoking Habits | Lifestyle of a person also has an important role in the buying process. For instance, the premiums for a non-smoker, compared to a smoker, are relatively low. |
| Medical Check-up | Medical check-up is a part of the policy, specifically, if you are aged 45 years or more. So, before the medical insurance policy is issued, these individuals may have to undergo a medical screening. |
Certain factors determine the premium of your policy are:
✓ Selected Sum Insured: Your insurance premium also depends on the coverage you have opted for, and the sum insured selected by you.
✓ Number of members covered: Your policy premium changes as you include more number of members to be insured, like in family floater health insurance plans.
✓ Age: Young people are healthier than older people and the risk associated with them is less. So, the premium is lower if you buy a health insurance policy when you are young.
✓ Body mass index (BMI): BMI is the ratio of your height and weight. If your BMI is beyond the normal limit, then you might have to pay a higher insurance premium.
✓ Medical history: You might have to pay a higher premium if a certain illness runs in your family, or if you have some complex medical history.
✓ Tobacco consumption: The premium might be on the higher side if you smoke or chew tobacco and tobacco-containing products.
✓ Gender: Women might be required to pay a higher premium than men, as they tend to have more hospital visits.
The biggest impact on your medical insurance policy premium, however, is the coverage that you opt for. The broader the coverage, the steeper your health insurance quotes.
You can use Bajaj Allianz’s free health insurance calculator to find out the estimated amount of premium that you need to pay towards your policy. The quick and easy steps to know your health insurance premium online are:

Comparing medical insurance policies helps to choose the best one that takes care of the healthcare needs. Selecting a health insurance policy is often regarded as a task. We understand, that with a plethora of options available, you might get confused.
So, let us understand some of the key advantages of comparing policies online:
Every important piece of information related to your policy is available in just a few clicks. It also helps to save you time wherein you need to speak to the insurance agent with accurate and reliable information under one umbrella.
You can compare health insurance quotes with online calculators and choose the one that best fits your pocket and requirements. There are no brokerage or agent fees for it. Moreover, online premium payment will help to get a policy at an affordable rate.
The ability to compare health insurance plans online is convenient and hassle-free. You can view the plans, and compare their features, benefits, and premiums side-by-side. Moreover, when it comes to buying or renewing your policy, it can be done digitally without any hassle of paperwork.
With a plethora of health insurance plans available in the market, online reviews help to choose the insurer, and also, look for the claim settlement ratio of that company. Selecting an insurer that has a good reputation in the market ensures a swift claim settlement.
Health insurance claims can be settled by either a cashless or a reimbursement claim. Both ways of settling your health insurance claim are easy, quick, and convenient.
The treatment for your ailment under a cashless claim is possible without paying anything from your pocket. However, this benefit is available only if you are admitted to a network hospital.
The medical bill will be directly settled by the network hospital with your insurer as per the terms and conditions mentioned in your policy. Most of the health insurance companies in India provide a health card that can be used to avail cashless treatment at one of the network hospitals.
If you choose to get the treatment for your ailment at a non-network hospital, or if your preferred hospital is not a network hospital, then you can file a reimbursement insurance claim. To register the claim, you need to submit the relevant hospital bills and medical records to your insurance company. Once these documents are verified, the claim amount will be settled in your registered bank account.
If your health insurance policy covers medical procedures such as cataract surgery, then you can use the cashless claim facility to get the surgery done without having to pay anything. All you need to do is fill out a pre-authorisation form at a network hospital and they will send this form to your insurance provider, who will verify the required details and give approval for the cashless treatment.
In case of an emergency, like an accident, you can use the health card provided by your insurance company and submit it along with the pre-authorisation letter. If the approval comes through, you can avail cashless claims benefit. If not, then you can go for the reimbursement claim settlement process.
Health CDC (Claim by Direct Settlement) is a feature provided by Bajaj Allianz for settling your health insurance claims up to ₹ 20,000 instantly using our mobile app - Caringly Yours.
A network hospital is a hospital that has an agreement signed with your health insurance company. This tie-up between the hospital and your insurance provider allows you to avail the benefit of cashless health insurance claims. You can check out the list of Bajaj Allianz’s network hospitals online.
You can search for a network hospital on our website by entering the name of the hospital or the city where you want to get the medical treatment. Once you enter your search criteria, you need to click on Find Hospital button. You will be displayed a list of network hospitals defined by your search criteria.
The benefits of choosing a network hospital for your treatment or the treatment of your family members are:
You get the benefit of cashless claim, so that you don’t have to pay for the treatment upfront.
You get quality assurance for treatment with well-trained doctors, the latest medical equipment, and best-in-class hospitality.
You can relax when the payment of your medical bill is taken care of by your health insurance provider.
You get the required care during hospitalisation as well as for pre- & post-hospitalisation treatments.
Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, 1961, permits the taxpayers to avail of the deduction on the premium paid towards the health insurance policy. This can be availed on the regular insurance premiums, along with the premiums paid for the top-up, as well as for critical illness plans.
You can avail of the deduction under Section 80D on the premiums that are paid towards purchasing a policy for yourself, dependent children, spouse, and parents.
The premium paid qualifies for a deduction of up to ₹ 25,000 under Section 80D in each financial year. If either your parents or any one of them is a senior citizen, then the deduction goes up to ₹ 50,000 in one financial year.

Medical emergencies tend to come unannounced. If you do not have a health insurance policy in place, then you could end up paying hefty medical bills. Despite the rising healthcare expenses, people often overlook the importance of securing themselves or their families with a suitable mediclaim policy.
Mediclaim policy is the insurance coverage that shields against the medical expenses due to hospitalisation. A mediclaim policy financially protects in case of illness/accident requiring hospitalisation. You can continue to receive its benefits by paying the premiums on time.
✓ Sum Insured (SI): Sum Insured is the maximum amount that your health insurance company is liable to pay. If the expenses of your medical treatment exceed the Sum Insured opted by you, then you will have to pay the amount over the such Sum Insured on your own. Thus, you should opt for plan with a higher Sum Insured.
✓ Pre-existing diseases: If you are suffering from an ailment before buying an insurance policy, then that ailment is classified as a pre-existing disease.
✓ Waiting period: It is the time span that you need to wait before some or all of the coverage for your health insurance policy begins. For instance, many policies have a fixed waiting period before they provide coverage for pre-existing diseases.
✓ Sub-limits: Sub-limits are limitations that your health insurance providers place to restrict the expenses that they need to pay for a particular ailment. This is mainly done to reduce the cases of fraudulent claims. Most insurance companies have sub-limits on room rents, common ailments, pre-planned procedures, ambulance expenses, and doctor’s fees. Sub-limits can be a fixed percentage of the Sum Insured opted by you, or a fixed amount as agreed with the insurer.
✓ Co-payment: Co-payment or co-pay is a fixed percentage of the claim amount that you need to pay before the insurance company pays for the same. You can opt for the co-payment clause when you buy or renew your health insurance policy. Since it is the amount that you need to pay from your own pocket, it helps to reduce the premium amount.
✓ Deductible: Deductible is the concept of cost-sharing between you and your insurance company for paying for your health care expenses. It is a fixed amount that you, the policyholder, need to pay every time you raise an insurance claim. A plan with a high deductible can be beneficial if your visits to a doctor/hospital are less frequent. Also, a higher deductible also helps to lower the overall insurance premium.
✓ Room rent limit: Room rent limit is the maximum coverage your health insurance policy provides for each day of room charges in case you are admitted to a hospital.
✓ Coinsurance: If you have multiple health insurance policies, then you can file a claim with all of them. The claim amount will be reimbursed by all such insurance companies as per a fixed percentage decided by you. This concept is called coinsurance.
So, if you decide the coinsurance between two insurance companies, A and B, as 40% and 60% respectively, then on a claim of ₹ 1 lakh, company A will reimburse ₹ 40,000 to you and company B will reimburse ₹ 60,000 to you, as per the terms and conditions of the health insurance policies.
✓ Free-look period: Health insurance companies offer a free-look period. This period is usually 15 days for the policies purchased offline and 30 days for those purchased online. In this period, you can check your policy and decide whether it is best suited for you or not.
If you think that isn’t adequate for you, then you can cancel this policy within the said period. No cancellation charges will be applicable during the free-look period. However, a premium will be charged on pro-rata basis for the days the coverage was active.
✓ Grace period: After the expiry of your health insurance policy, you have a time span of 30 days to renew it. This 30-day period is the grace period.
If you renew your policy within these 30 days, then you will get the benefits of your medical insurance policy, like waiting period, coverage for pre-existing diseases etc., reinstated. Any claims made during the grace period will not be covered by the insurer.
One of the common mistakes that people often tend to commit is implying that mediclaim is the same as health insurance. However, they aren’t. Let us understand the differences between health insurance and mediclaim insurance.
| Parameters | Health Insurance | Mediclaim Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | A health insurance plan offers coverage for hospitalisation, pre- & post-treatment expenses, ambulance charges, etc. |
Offers cover for hospitalisation, accident-related treatment & up to a pre-determined limit the pre-existing diseases. |
| Flexibility | It offers the flexibility to enhance the plan by paying a nominal premium. |
In terms of coverage, a mediclaim policy does not have flexibility. |
| Add-on Cover | Offers multiple add-ons. |
No add-on covers are available. |
| Critical Illness Cover | It offers coverage for more than 10 life-threatening diseases. |
Cover for critical illness isn’t available. |
Buying medical insurance at an early age is beneficial as you can then be somewhat less worried about paying any medical bills. When you start earning early, it's important to save for the future.
Here is a rundown of the benefits of buying medical insurance at an early age:
Offers comprehensive coverage for any health emergency that may occur, that would otherwise leave you in financial distress.
In case of any pre-existing disease, your waiting period will end early and not compromise your health at the time of the treatment.
At a young age, you are less likely to fall ill or be prone to diseases. Thus, at this time, the insurance premiums tend to be rather cost-effective.
The tax benefits under Section 80D enable savings on income and directs your money toward secured future planning.
Health insurance plans provide a cumulative bonus which helps to increase the sum insured for each claim-free year. Since you would be buying the medical insurance policy early in life, the chances of filing a claim may be lower. This could help you avail a higher sum insured in the long run.
You can enhance the insurance coverage using add-on riders. These riders make the health insurance plan more comprehensive.
When you are young, you tend to be less vulnerable to any chronic illness or diseases. Having said that, it is wise to make a financial investment when you are young and healthy. It lets you enjoy significant benefits throughout life.
Health is, indeed, the biggest wealth. With the sedentary lifestyle, rising pollution, and other such factors, health is a major concern. Having comprehensive health insurance coverage will help to take care of the medical treatment expenses during an emergency.

Bajaj Allianz’s Health Insurance policy helps you save tax up to ₹ 1 lakh under Section 80D against the premiums you pay. Here’s how you can save tax:
On the premiums paid for self, spouse, children, and your parents, you can avail a deduction of ₹ 25,000 per annum against your taxable income (provided you are not over 60 years).
If you pay a premium for your parents who are senior citizens (age 60 or above), the maximum health insurance benefit for tax purposes is capped at ₹ 50,000.
Therefore, as a taxpayer, you may maximise tax benefit under Section 80D up to a total of ₹ 75,000, if you are below 60 years of age and your parents are senior citizens.
However, if you are above the age of 60 years and are paying a medical insurance premium for your parents, the maximum tax benefit under Section 80D is, then, ₹ 1 lakh.
You can purchase a health insurance policy in India if you are an Indian citizen and above 18 years of age. If you are a minor (below 18 years of age), then your parents can cover you under their insurance policy.
Health insurance offers coverage for hospitalisation, expenses including pre- & post-hospitalisation expenses, doctor’s consultation fees, and in-patient expenses.
Life insurance is a great investment and death cover option, but it won’t come in handy for paying rising medical costs. Health insurance is a solution to deal with hospitalisation and pay hefty medical expenses, should they arise. So, health policies are your cover against unexpected health-related costs that may threaten to deplete your savings.
Entry age specifies that you should be at least of a certain age, so that you can get coverage under a health insurance policy.
Exit age, on the other hand, means that you will not be covered under your health insurance policy after crossing a certain age limit.
The entry age and exit age are different for different policies.
Health insurance companies in the country grant you a free-look period, during which, you can analyse the policy that you have purchased. Your insurance policy can be cancelled in this period if you think that such a plan is not suitable for you without paying any cancellation fee.
Your children, spouse, parents, and parents-in-law can be added as dependents in your health insurance policy.
Co-payment is the fixed percentage of the claim amount that you need to pay for every insurance claim.
Deductible, on the other hand, is a fixed amount that you need to pay when you raise a health insurance claim.
Restoration or reinstatement of sum assured means that if you exhaust your existing SI, then it will automatically be replenished to cover you for the next hospitalisation expenses in the same policy year. However, you cannot carry forward the restoration benefit, and it cannot be used for the same illness/injury for which you have once made a claim in your policy year.
With technological advancement, you are not required to get hospitalised for procedures like Septoplasty or lithotripsy. But the medical expenses related to these procedures are expensive. It is beneficial to have health insurance plans with day-care coverage, so that you are covered for these kinds of surgeries or medical procedures where the hospitalisation is for not more than 24 hours.
Any one illness refers to a continuous period of illness, including any relapse that happens within a certain number of days as per the terms and conditions of your health insurance policy.
You are eligible for free health check-up if you renew your health insurance policy continuously for 4 years without filing any insurance claim. The expenses related to this health check-up are borne by your insurer.
You can buy a health insurance policy for a period of 1, 2, or 3 years. If you purchase a long-term health insurance plan (more than 1 year), then you can get great discounts.
Some of the myths associated with health insurance are:
✓ You need to check the empanelled hospitals only when you buy any health insurance plans.
✓ Health insurance provided by the employer is enough to cover you.
✓ If you have health insurance, then all your medical expenses are covered.
✓ You need to be hospitalised for at least 3 hours to get the benefit of your health insurance policy.
✓ You do not need health insurance if you are fit.
✓ Smokers cannot purchase health insurance.
Pre-existing diseases are those ailments that you may be suffering from before buying a medical insurance policy. Hence, you must declare any pre-existing disease/condition at the time of purchase.
One of the key factors to keep in mind is that pre-existing diseases have a waiting period, and it differs between insurance companies. Hence, by purchasing a policy at a young age, you can hope that by the time, and if you are diagnosed with a disease that falls under the pre-existing category, your waiting period will be complete. Also, an early policy purchase ensures that you are eligible to avail full benefits of your medical insurance policy.
Sub-limit is the maximum amount that your health insurance policy will pay towards your medical expenses. Sub-limits are usually placed on charges such as room rent, post-hospitalisation, ambulance charges, oxygen supply, doctor’s fees, diagnostic tests, and the like.
Health insurance is where you can file a claim and your insurer will reimburse you the claim amount up to the Sum Insured. On the other hand, Personal Accident insurance plan pays you the entire Sum Insured once you file a claim.
Individual health insurance policies have different Sum Insured for all the members covered under the policy, whereas all the insured members share a common Sum Insured under a family floater health insurance policy.
Bajaj Allianz offers special health insurance plans that take care of medical expenses related to the health issues faced by women. Our critical illness plan for women is a special policy for women. It covers against the risk of 8 critical illnesses like burns, breast cancer, and vaginal cancer.
A waiting period of 72 months is applicable for the coverage of maternity expenses. If you opt for Sum Insured in the range of ₹ 3 lakhs to ₹ 7.5 lakhs, then the coverage is restricted to ₹ 15,000 for normal delivery and ₹ 25,000 for a caesarean delivery, and if you opt for a Sum insured in the range of ₹ 10 lakhs to ₹ 50 lakhs, then it is restricted to ₹ 25,000 for normal delivery and ₹ 35,000 for c-section delivery. The waiting period for Maternity coverage for every product will differ based on the terms and conditions of the product.
