Getting the best of out of your health insurance policy

Getting the best of out of your health insurance policy


Insure while you're young. Health insurance premium is likely to increase with age.  More the age, higher the premium.


Take your health card with you wherever you go. It can be of timely help in case you are alone when you require immediate medical attention.


Ensure that your dependents are also included in the health insurance cover from your current employer. If not, it's only logical to take a separate insurance plan for your dependents.


Invest in a personal health insurance policy rather than wholly depending on your health insurance from your employer. Switching jobs or retirement may make you and your loved ones stand a chance of getting stranded in case of a medical contingency.


Don't just get insured!  Make sure your insurance cover suits your needs. Choose the right kind of plan that offers maximum coverage within affordable premium.  Covering every member in your family with an insurance policy can guard you against expenses due to medical emergencies guaranteeing a good night sleep.
