Health Insurance for Diabetes

According to a Lancet Study, India has more than 100 million diabetics. The situation is more serious than it seems to be. An imbalanced way of living, worsened by adulterated consumption, is taking a toll on millions of lives yearly. An inactive lifestyle, unhealthy eating habits, work pressure, and stress give rise to diabetes, hypertension & obesity. Without prompt treatment, all these diseases can damage your body's small blood vessels, increasing the risk of strokes. However, their treatment cost can burden you as much as INR 3-5 lakh yearly. Bearing high treatment costs can be overwhelming, but having a financial security net can protect you from financial strains. Diabetes health insurance can be a saviour here.

At Care Health Insurance, we aim to lower the financial loss of people with specific pre-existing ailments. We introduce "Care Freedom"—health insurance for diabetes, hypertension, and high BMI. It provides an annual health check-up for adult members, coverage for non-medical benefits with consumable/companion benefits, premium reduction options, and a reduced PED waiting period. It is also suitable for customers having multiple health issues. Cover Highlights

Diabetes and Its Types

Today, India has the second-highest diabetes population globally. Diabetes can later cause damage to the kidneys, heart, blood vessels, eyes, and nerves. Diabetes interferes with insulin production. Low or no insulin production can result in glucose accumulation in the bloodstream, and the inability to use that insulin effectively causes various health problems. There are three most common types of diabetes:

type of diabetes type of diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes

Those who have Type 1 diabetes cannot produce insulin in their bodies. Their immune system targets and kills the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Although it can develop at any age, Type 1 diabetes is typically diagnosed in infants and young people. To stay alive, individuals who have Type 1diabetes must take insulin every day.

Type 2 Diabetes

It is the most prevalent kind of diabetes. If you have Type 2 diabetes, you may have poor insulin production or usage. Type 2 diabetes can strike anyone at any age, even in infancy. However, those in their middle years and older are most likely to develop this kind of diabetes.

Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy. But in most cases, it disappears after the baby’s birth. However, if you have gestational diabetes, your risk of getting Type 2 diabetes in the future is higher. Type 2 diabetes can occasionally be detected during pregnancy.

3 Reasons Why You Need the Best Health Insurance Plan for Diabetes

Did you know that people are twice as likely to suffer from high blood pressure as non-diabetic people? Various studies show a striking correlation between obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. That's why you need a complete protective shield to take care of all three ailments before they turn chronic. Besides, below are some undeniable reasons why diabetics' health insurance is an essential investment-

Serious Complications Involved

Serious diabetes complications can become a silent killer by pushing patients toward coma or, worse, death. Eating disorders, fatty tissue deposits around body parts, excessive thirst, and frequent urination are early signs that you must treat as early as possible. Hence, medical insurance for diabetes patients is a must to undergo a financially backed treatment.

Burdening Medication Costs

Although diabetes is considered a less severe and expensive health problem, its treatment expenses can reach around Rs 20,000 every month. The Companion Benefit of Care Freedom provides the insured with a fixed lump sum in case of a single hospitalisation lasting more than 10 days. Importantly, the benefit doesn't reduce the policy Sum Insured.

Risk of Other Chronic Diseases

Together, obesity, diabetes, and hypertension invite heart stroke, kidney damage, high cholesterol, and gallbladder problems, among other life-threatening diseases. Health insurance for a diabetic person breaks the vicious chain by providing affordable treatment.

Quick Tip: You need not fret while you age and become elderly, as we ensure your safety under our Care Senior plan, specially designed for senior citizens.

Optional Benefits of Care Freedom

The health insurance plan comes with add-on benefits discussed below:

  • Care Shield: One optional cover with three unique benefits,

Benefit 1: Pays expenses incurred on 68 non-payable items during hospitalisation.

Benefit 2: Increase in policy SI on renewal as per CPI Inflation in the previous policy year.

  • OPD Coverage: Each insured is eligible for four physical consultations, each from a general physician, and 14 specified specialist consultations.
  • Deductible: You can reduce your premium by adding a Rs 25,000 deductible to the policy. An SI of Rs 3 Lacs can qualify you for a 24% discount.
  • Health Check-up: Customers can upgrade their policy annual health check-up to a diabetes or cardiac-specific check-up.

Why Should You Compare Pre-existing Disease Health Plans Online?

When buying health coverage for yourself or your entire family, it is essential to carefully review all the benefits and offerings under a given policy. Every family member's health condition may differ, from that of a heart patient to someone who goes through all the benefits and offerings under a given policy. The health condition of every family member may differ, with one being a heart patient to another with weight issues. While comparing health insurance online, you should consider maximum coverage for members with pre-existing diseases.

It is crucial to compare mediclaims based on all the expenses related to pre-existing conditions, especially for obese, diabetic, and high-BP patients.

These minor medical costs for pre-existing ailments snowball into a huge amount yearly.

With Care Freedom, we make your comparison of pre-existing disease health covers easier by offering comprehensive coverage from hospitalisation to consumable allowances for diabetes, hypertension, and high BMI patients. Here's how online comparison of pre-existing disease covers helps you-
