Choosing The Best Health Insurance Plans

Health insurance plans are a modern-day necessity. However, while you’re choosing a health insurance plan, you should consider critical illness insurance.  This is one of those health insurance plans that cover you for several major ailments.

Regular health insurance plans may offer financial security for emergencies and medical treatments however, critical illness insurance comes in handy whenever there is a specific ailment which is life-threatening and endures for a long period of time.

Here are some of the major benefits of these health insurance plans
  1. The lump-sum amount can be tapped for covering medical expenses and other related costs. Having a constant source of funds helps when it comes to emergencies and helps you safeguard your own savings.
  2. These health insurance plans help you maintain other financial costs and take care of EMIs even if you are detected with a critical illness.
  3. There could be several associated expenses linked to illnesses including accommodation, travelling and medicines among other aspects which may lead to funding sources being depleted. These will not be covered by regular health insurance but the lump sum amount paid out will cover all of these associated expenses.
  4. You get coverage for several specific illnesses with a critical illness policy including cancer, angioplasty, kidney failure, heart attacks, liver disease and so on.
  5. Money is paid out upon detection of the critical illness and you do not have to submit hospital bills and other proof of expenditure for obtaining the lump sum amount.
  6. The rate of the premium stays fixed for the whole duration of the plan which is a major benefit.
  7. All you need is medical documents which prove that you have a critical illness to obtain the benefit.
