Health insurance is a financial shield against unexpected medical emergencies. It covers medical expenses incurred due to illnesses, injuries or any health-related events. With rising medical costs, having a health insurance policy is highly recommended. Certain medical treatments can cause significant financial strain, particularly during times of heightened emotional stress. Therefore, integrating health insurance into your financial plan is indispensable for securing peace of mind and financial stability.
Life insurance for the primary income earner is undeniably important, providing a financial safety net for dependents. While life insurance for dependents may not be mandatory, delaying its purchase can lead to higher premiums due to increased mortality risk.
In contrast, health insurance holds equal significance for every family member, regardless of age or income-earning status.
Unforeseen medical emergencies can affect anyone and significantly impact the family's finances.
When it comes to health insurance, families have two options: individual plans for each member or a single family floater policy covering everyone. Let's explore the nuances of each option to determine the best fit.
Individual health insurance plans are meticulously crafted to cater to the specific needs of each insured person. They can be customized to address unique health requirements, offering comprehensive coverage. The sum insured is allocated exclusively to the covered individual and cannot be shared.
Consequently, each family member requires a separate policy, with premiums varying based on age, existing health conditions, coverage needs, and risk profiles.
