Knowing the right insurance plan suiting your needs is very important. Here are some things to know before buying a Group Health Insurance:

A health insurance plan should cover the hospitalization of you and your family members from an illness or accident. The cover that you get depends on the type of insurance policy and the insurance premium.

The health insurance premium is calculated on the basis of the age, tenure, medical condition and type of plan.

It should cover Pre and post hospitalization expenses at least 30 days before and after discharge.

It should have a health card that gives access to a cashless facility across the country. Right now health insurance are giving access to over thousands of hospitals across major cities in India.

Good thing is that now you will get treated without paying any medical bills. If treatment is done at a non-networked hospital all expenses usually get reimbursed within 15 days after receipt of all the documents.

Hence cashless treatment helps to reduce the burden of paperwork at discharge time and the worry of arranging for funds.

Health Insurance should also give access to helplines and free ambulance facilities. It should also cover outpatient treatment expenses in case of critical illness.

In the world of digitization, it’s necessary that Health Insurance should give online access to the medical history of the employee and his family members.

Health Insurance should also cover maternity benefits and provide tax benefits under section 80 (D) while filing income tax returns.
