According to the Economic Survey 2023, out-of-pocket medical expenses constitute 48.2% of the total healthcare expenditure, meaning Indians still pay a substantial out-of-pocket amount to access healthcare. It is because they are not covered under a health insurance plan or have insufficient insurance coverage.Therefore, it is crucial to provide your loved ones with financial security. It should be the most important part of your financial planning. Here, a comprehensive health insurance plan comes to the rescue. A family health insurance plan with high coverage can help you secure the future of all family members under one plan. In this article, we will discuss the importance of a high-coverage health insurance plan for family protection and more.
A high sum insured provides comprehensive coverage for the medical needs of all family members under one plan and protects them against unforeseen medical expenses. Here is why a high sum insured is required:
As healthcare costs continue to rise, it's essential to carefully evaluate your current sum insured to ensure that it covers potential future medical expenses for your family. Investing in high sum insured coverage will make you and your loved ones future-ready.
In today's society, high-stress levels and a sedentary lifestyle have made everyone vulnerable to lifestyle diseases. These include diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and high cholesterol. It's crucial to be aware of these risks and take proactive steps to maintain a healthy lifestyle and prevent these conditions.
Critical illnesses have become quite common these days. Once you are diagnosed with a critical illness, it becomes difficult to get health insurance coverage. Hence, if you or a family member is at risk of any such diseases or have a family history, it's important to get suitable health insurance coverage while you are still healthy.
When you're young and healthy, investing in a high-coverage health insurance plan is affordable. You'll get extensive coverage at a reasonable cost, ensuring that you can take care of all your family's medical needs without financial strain.
