What Does Health Insurance Cover?

A comprehensive health plan protects you from the financial burden of hospitalisation and medical treatment.

Optional Add-on

Maternity Cover

Covers normal and C-section delivery expenses after a waiting period of 2–4 years.

Optional Add-on

Critical Illness Cover

Lump sum payout on diagnosis of cancer, heart attack, stroke or other listed critical illnesses.

Which Type of Plan Do You Need?

Three main types of health insurance — choose based on who you're covering and your life stage.

Individual Plan

Covers one person with a dedicated sum insured. If you make a claim, only your cover is used — no impact on other family members.

Best for: Young singles, working professionals

Family Floater

Covers your entire family — spouse and children — under one shared sum insured. More economical than individual plans for young families.

Best for: Families with young children

Senior Citizen Plan

Designed for parents aged 60+. Covers pre-existing conditions (after waiting period) and age-related illnesses with co-payment options.

Best for: Parents aged 60 and above

Wondering whether your employer's group cover is enough? Read our comparison of Group vs Individual Health Insurance in India to understand the coverage gaps and when you need your own policy.

Also consider a Personal Accident Insurance policy alongside your health plan — it covers disability payouts and accidental death that health insurance does not.

Key Features That Actually Matter When Comparing Plans

Two policies with the same sum insured and similar premiums can behave very differently at claim time. These are the features worth scrutinising.

Room Rent Capping

No-cap or private-room plans avoid proportionate deduction on the whole bill

Sub-Limits on Procedures

Caps on specific treatments (cataract, knee, etc.) regardless of sum insured

Co-Payment Clauses

Common in senior citizen plans — you pay a fixed % of every claim

Restoration Benefit

Refills your sum insured if exhausted, often unlimited times per year

No-Claim Bonus (NCB)

Increases sum insured 10-50% per claim-free year, at no extra cost

Network Hospital Strength

More empanelled hospitals near you = higher chance of cashless treatment

Pre & Post-Hospitalisation Cover

Typically 30-60 days before, 60-90 days after admission

Domiciliary & Day-Care Treatment

Covers home treatment and same-day procedures (no 24-hr admission needed)

Claim Settlement Ratio & Experience

How consistently and fairly the insurer settles claims, not just the % figure

Riders & Add-Ons Worth Considering

Riders let you tailor a base policy to your specific needs, usually for a modest additional premium.

Super Top-Up Rider

Massively boosts total cover at a low incremental cost

Critical Illness Rider

Lump-sum payout on diagnosis of listed major illnesses

Maternity & Newborn Cover

Covers delivery costs and the newborn from day one

OPD / Wellness Cover

Reimburses doctor consultations, diagnostics, pharmacy bills

Waiver of Co-Payment

Removes the mandatory co-pay on senior citizen plans, for a premium

Room Rent Waiver

Removes room category restrictions entirely

Reduction in PED Waiting Period

Shortens the 2-4 year pre-existing disease wait, for a premium

Daily Cash / Hospital Cash

Fixed daily payout for each day of hospitalisation, regardless of bills

Common Questions Before Buying

Straight answers — no jargon.

What is the best health insurance plan in India 2026?
Care Supreme (₹999/mo), Bajaj Health Guard (₹950/mo) and New India Floater (₹850/mo) are top-rated. The best plan depends on your age, city and family size. Our advisors compare all 10 for free — WhatsApp us.
What is a family floater health insurance plan?
A family floater covers your entire family — spouse and children — under a single sum insured. Any one member can use the full amount. It is more economical than individual plans for young families where multiple members are unlikely to be hospitalised in the same year.
How much health insurance cover do I need?
A minimum of ₹5–10 lakh is recommended for metro city individuals. For families, ₹10–25 lakh. Consider your city, preferred hospitals, age and any pre-existing conditions. Our advisors can calculate the right cover for your specific situation.
Can I port my existing health insurance to a better plan?
Yes. IRDAI's portability rules let you switch insurers without losing your no-claim bonus or waiting period credits. Contact Policy Aid at least 45 days before your renewal date for a smooth port.
