Things to look at when buying a family health insurance plan

Is age a criteria ?
There are health plans that have an age criteria and those that don’t. Some may look at a minimum age entry criteria of 91 days and a maximum age entry criteria of 60 years. There are also others who have no such criteria like HDFC ERGO. We do not imply entry age and exit age restrictions. So you may choose one that works best for you!
Premium to coverage ratio
It could be tempting to buy insurance for the lowest premium possible. This temptation can sometimes blind you to the exclusions that may result because of the low premium. It is therefore wise to read up the prospectus before choosing the premium you’d want to pay.
Is there a waiting period clause ?
Most insurers will have a waiting period clause for claims against hospitalisation occurring from pre-existing medical conditions. While in most cases it can be anywhere between 24 and 48 months, it is applicable for pre-existing conditions including blood pressure, thyroid, diabetes and others. It is important to be aware of this, as one can then apply for a policy with the lowest possible waiting period.
Is cashless hospitalisation available?
In times of emergency, the cashless hospitalisation facility can be a lifesaver, as it means it will save you from having to arrange funds hurriedly. It can save tedious paperwork during both admission and claim. Moreover the insurance provider makes the payment directly to the hospital, with little or no involvement in the process from the policyholder. With a wide network of 10,000+ cashless hospitals, healthcare is never too far.
Ease of claims process
Filing a claim can be a tricky process. You should read the claims process part of your policy document carefully before investing in it. At HDFC ERGO, we process cashless claims within 20 minutes and reimbursement claims are settled within 6 hours.
Pre and Post hospitalisation cover
Most insurance policies will cover expenses incurred during hospitalisation. But to maximise your savings on healthcare it makes sense to invest in a healthcare policy that covers incidental expenses before and after hospitalisation, like ambulance fees, medical tests, doctor fees, medicines and other expenses. We at HDFC ERGO, cover 60 days pre-hospitalisation and 180 days post hospitalisation expenses.

Benefits of buying health insurance plans for the family

One of the most important responsibilities we take on as adults is the well-being of our families. With the growing cost of healthcare, a global pandemic and other factors weighing in heavily on us, buying health insurance plans for the family has never been more important.

One premium, multiple covers
A family health insurance plan is one where, with the payment of a single premium, multiple family members are eligible for coverage. This brings down the amount of premium spent on healthcare insurance considerably.
The convenience of adding new members
A family health insurance plan offers a family the flexibility of adding new family members to the existing plan. All this with minimal paperwork and increase in premiums depending upon the age and other factors.
Stress-free hospitalisation
Besides a single premium payment, the family health insurance offers peace of mind, including cashless hospitalisation at network hospitals for any of the insured family members. Gone are the days of having to arrange funds for hospital procedures at the last minute.
The option of health insurance cover for parents and dependents
As part of the family health insurance plan, the primary holder can opt to include parents and other dependents like in-laws as a part of their ‘family plan’. All this at an additional premium(s) for each dependent added.
Covid protection for the family
In times of a global pandemic like Coronavirus, it is vital that our families have the protection they deserve. Most insurers are now offering Coronavirus protection as part of the family plans.
Add on benefits
The family health plan gives the insured party the option to add various add-ons to their existing policy. These could include critical illness, maternity benefits and others. While most of these add-ons are subject to waiting period clauses, having them makes family and future planning a lot easier.
A slew of discounts
As a purchaser of a family health insurance plan, you will be eligible for a number of discounts and perks offered by your insurance provider. This is definitely one of the best ways to take care of the healthcare needs of your family.
Insurance premiums are subject to tax exemption
Under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, insurance premiums are exempt from tax. If you’re paying healthcare insurance premiums for your family &/or parents, this exemption is applicable to your premiums.
