Individual, metro city
Recommended minimum given metro hospitalisation costs.

Individual, family floater, senior citizen and super top-up plans covering hospitalisation, day-care procedures and critical illness — compared across 18 insurers on claim ratio, network and waiting periods, not just premium.
Health insurance in India has evolved well past a simple room-rent-and-surgery cover.
A single sum insured shared across the family, usually cheaper than individual policies for young families.
Sum insured automatically restores to 100% after it's exhausted in a policy year, at no extra cost.

Adds ₹20-50L of cover above your base/employer policy at a fraction of the cost of a fresh base plan.
Select plans reimburse outpatient consultations, diagnostics and preventive health check-ups.

A city-and-age-adjusted starting point — we refine this in conversation.
Recommended minimum given metro hospitalisation costs.
Shared sum insured for a young family in a metro or tier-1 city.
Higher cover recommended given age-related claim probability.
Additional cover above a ₹3-5L employer group policy.
Cashless is the default path — here's how it works end to end.
Show your health card and Aadhaar at a network hospital; the hospital raises a pre-authorisation request.
The TPA reviews and authorises the claim, usually within 2-4 hours. We escalate if it's delayed.
You pay only for non-covered items; the insurer settles the rest directly with the hospital.
We track any reimbursement for pre/post-hospitalisation expenses and follow up on pending claims.
Common questions, honestly answered.
A family floater covers all members under a single sum insured — cheaper, but risky if multiple members claim in the same year. Individual policies give each member their own sum insured. We recommend individual policies for families with elderly members or known chronic conditions.
Yes, almost always. Employer cover typically gives ₹3-5L and ceases when you leave the company. A personal super top-up (kicks in after a threshold) gives ₹20-50L additional cover at ₹3,000-8,000/year — one of the best-value insurance buys available.
The insurer pays the hospital directly — you pay nothing except non-covered items. Show your health card and Aadhaar at admission; the TPA authorises the claim, usually within 2-4 hours. We handle escalations if authorisation is delayed.
Yes — IRDAI allows portability without losing waiting-period credits. Apply at least 45 days before renewal. We handle the entire porting process and ensure you don't lose accumulated no-claim bonuses.
Some policies cap eligible room rent as a percentage of sum insured. Exceeding it triggers proportionate deduction on the entire bill, not just the room charge — a common source of claim shortfall. We prioritise plans without this cap where budget allows.
Yes, after a waiting period — typically 2-4 years depending on the insurer and condition. Full, honest disclosure at purchase is essential; non-disclosure is the most common reason for claim rejection.
