The Best Health Insurance

Buddies, many online blog writers have agreed with me that Apollo is the best when it comes to health insurance offers. The market is no doubt flooded with Health Insurance Providers. As I planned to buy the best health insurance to save on my tax as well as to get some financial shelter against health risks, I asked my colleagues, read reviews, visited the sites of all the health insurance providers, received quotes and even compared policies. Apollo appealed to me the most.

The Health Insurance plans offered by Apollo cannot be compared with other health insurance coverage plans offered by other companies. If you do a similar research like me, you will agree with me. Those who are already insured with Apollo’s health insurance plans will nod in the positive with me. Below are the key reasons, why I opted for Apollo:
•Cashless benefits in over 4000 network hospitals
•It covers maternity expenses, out-patient dental treatment, health check-up, spectacles, contact lenses, etc.
•Wide choice in family and individual plans with insured amount ranging from Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 10 lakh
•Medical expenses before and after the hospitalization are the responsibility of the company
•Availing of special incentives on every renewal after a claim-free year
•Tax benefits under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act.

Well this is only a miniscule part of the many benefits covered. Hope sharing this experience and information will help you choose the best health insurance policy.

Health Insurance services in India

Buddies, I believe Best health Insurances In India are yet to pick up momentum. Only three out of my ten colleagues are insured and I do not know about the other colleagues. Even the family members of those seven are not insured. Out of the three, two have taken individual health insurance and only one, a family plan. If this is the condition in every office which does not provide medical insurance to its staff, you can well conjecture the number of uninsured people in India! This exhibits the poor performance of the health insurance service sector in India. Gone were the days when only a few companies catered the people with health insurance services.

Today, there are a number of Health Insurance Providers in the country yet without success. People should procure health insurance services to maintain a balance of expenses. Almost every home in India has a track record of spending huge amounts as hospital bills. A health insurance will enable them to save on their medical costs.

You must be wondering that I must be talking rubbish; but this is the reality. I am a victim of such a circumstance. Today I am insured with this health insurance provider called Apollo Munich Insurance. When numerous health insurance providers exist, offering competitive plans, it was a tough job for me in choosing the right health insurance provider. My cousin helped me out by searching on the web and now he is insured with Apollo Munich Insurance plan too.

Benefits of Family Insurance

Guys, you can gift yourself and your family a gift for the New Year – Family Health Insurance - if you are not yet insured with any family plan. There is no better and more unique gift than a family health insurance plan. It will keep you and your family safe and secured in the complete year ahead. You never know when health inconveniences strike and you must also be aware of the spurring medical costs. Getting hospitalized in an excellent hospital would require you to spend a minimum of Rs. 1 lakh. The maximum can go to any limits as per the intensity of the disease. It is better to stay on the safer side with a family insurance plan by paying a meager one-time premium.

This is a New Year suggestion to you guys. I am happily availing the benefits of the family health insurance plan that I and my family are insured with. We have bought Apollo Munich family insurance, the best amongst Family Health Insurance Plan offered by other companies. Why I call it best is because of the maternity expenses it covers including health check-up, spectacles, contact lenses, out-patient dental treatment, and lots more. The insurer is networked with some of the top hospitals in the country numbering around 4000. This cashless family insurance plan is customer-friendly; special incentives are offered on every renewal after a claim-free year. Another great advantage is the tax benefits that I have been deriving for the premium amount.

Medical Policies by Apollo Munich Insurance

A medical policy enables the insured to manage himself and his family’s health-related needs, which may range from consultation, hospitalisation to post-hospitalisation. A one-time premium is to be paid for the insured amount. The premium depends on the insured amount, which may vary from Rs. 1 lakh or less to several lakhs. Most medical health insurance providers keep the insured amount in between the Rs. 1 lakh to the Rs. 10 lakh figure. The higher premium you pay, the higher is the insured amount and the benefits covered also vary as per the plans chosen.

Medical health insurance and medical travel insurance offered by Apollo Munich Insurance are designed in a way to suit the need and budget of all. Apollo Munich Insurance provides a number of Medical Policies and the uniqueness of the policies it offers is the many benefits covered unlike other insurance providers.

Apollo Munich medical health insurance plans ensure double protection of prevention and cover.

A medical policy under Apollo Munich Insurance entitles you to avail hospital benefits on a cashless basis in over 4000 network hospitals.

Medical travel insurance is a bit different from health insurance in that it covers all risks related to travel. Loss of baggage, accident, falling ill in a foreign land, etc. is covered by medical travel insurance.

I ought to declare guys that health insurance schemes offered by Apollo Munich Insurance are the best. Do not think that I am doing some advertisement for the company. It is the benefits I gained that forced me to share my experience at this blog forum so that you stay benefited too. And I suggest you guys that if you are not yet insured, go for the health insurance schemes offered by this Best Insurance Company in the country. It offers both health and travel insurance and more and the benefits covered are matchless compared to other companies.

I was insured with a Mediclaim Policy – the family plan – for two years with one renewal year with some medical insurance company…I won’t take its name….I had to undergo some dental treatment that amounted to several thousands and I had to pay near to Rs. 1 lakh for my wife’s maternity expenses. And though I had this medical card, it didn’t turn useful as these two were not covered. I didn’t renew it the 3rd year and later after one more year I searched online for the best mediclaim policy and that was how I chanced to buy Apollo Munich Insurance exclusive plan. Now, I am the father of another child and I was able to get my wife admitted in one of the best hospitals in the city.

The complete expenses were borne by this best insurance company. We are planning for an overseas leisure tour and the best travel insurance can be availed at Apollo Munich Insurance only.

Travel Insurance for Multi-Trip

For corporate executives like me who travel round the year, a travel medical insurance holds great significance. Many companies get their employees insured with health insurance or reserve travel health insurance for their staff who travel for attending business meets and the like. Surprisingly the company I work for doesn’t offer such facilities. So, I had to buy a travel health insurance to stay secured against any inconveniences during my travel or during my stay abroad. I suggest you guys who travel a lot should get insured with Travel Insurance too.

Around ten to twelve trips a year and even more than that were a part of my yearly schedule. My career journey started some four years back. Initially for the first two years, I didn’t have a Travel Medical Insurance. No insurance agent approached me and I didn’t pay heed to my travel agent asking me to buy one. Well, during those two years, I had to pay for one cause or the other almost once in every four trips. Once I lost my baggage, another time I fell ill and got hospitalized; another time there was a flight delay of several hours and the hassles as well as the expenses involved did burn a hole in my pocket.

And after two long years, I searched online, got a Travel Health Insurance quote and chose Apollo Munich Insurance Easy Travel – Annual Multi-trip plan. The travel health insurance quote I got from other insurance providers didn’t satisfy me.

About Maxima Family Insurance Plan

Buddies, have you heard about the Family Health Care Insurance called Maxima offered by Apollo Munich Insurance? I must say this is one of the best family health insurance plans offered by any insurance company till date. I bought this 360 degree cover that includes both inpatient and outpatient medical expenses on cashless basis and reimbursement facility. Guys, the purpose of sharing my experience is that you should get insured with some family insurance plans to be on the safer side so that you don’t burn a hole into your pockets on medical expenses. Again before going for a family health care insurance, do read about the benefits and what expenses it includes. I did a blunder in choosing the wrong family insurance plan. But now, I am happy with the one that I and my family are insured with.

I am married with one kid and have my dependent parents; so I chose the Family Health Insurance Plans. The Apollo Munich Insurance executive showed me the individual plan under the Maxima scheme and also showed me other family insurance plans offered by this company. Two years back I did get insured with a family health insurance plan of some other company. Unfortunately it didn’t include maternity expenses, outpatient dental treatment and spectacles/contact lenses. And I ended up spending cash for all three treatments amounting to over Rs. 1 lakh. It was then I thought of switching to another family insurance plan that includes these treatment expenses too. And I found the answer with Maxima.

Medical Health Coverage

Buddies, you will agree with me if I say that Medical Insurance plays an important role in our lives. God forbid…you stay healthy all throughout your life. But you never know when things turn the other side. And it happened with us! That’s why I am sharing my experience with you guys and the need for medical insurance coverage.

We are a joint family; my cousin met with an accident, his head and eye were badly affected. We admitted him in the best hospital of the district. I was sitting at the reception when I saw a lady submitting a Mediclaim health insurance card. A huge sum amounting to nearly Rs. 5 lakh – charges for surgery and hospitalization concerning her husband - turned free for the lady! I was so surprised. We deposited Ra. 2 lakh for the surgery and needed to pay more in the coming days.

I followed the lady once all formalities are completed and enquired about the card. She answered that her family of five were insured with Apollo Munich medical health insurance plan and that the card is an identity proof. I requested her to elaborate on it. She then said that all five of them were insured with the ‘Family Floater – Easy Health Premium’ plan amounting to an insured sum of Rs. 5 lakh. She said that all expenses incurred within the said budget, i.e. Rs. 5 lakh were free. The only amount they paid was the premium.

Hopefully people who are reading the posts and are planning to buy Medical Insurance plans can choose the best option. Traveling is fun and what is associated with it is the safety issue. Hence, to stay on the safer side, it is necessary that you get a medical insurance for travel.

I have faced difficulties during travel and one of my friends got hospitalized in Frankfurt while on a trade fair visit and as we were not aware about medical insurance for travel, we ended up emptying our pockets as well as facing the hassles. Later, a colleague suggested us to buy a medical insurance policy; today, we are insured, so we no longer worry about any medical inconveniences.

Almost one out of every five people gets hospitalized for one ailment or the other and you will be surprised at the high medicine bills, hospitalization charges, surgery bills, and what not. One of my neighbors accumulated some 10 lakh rupees in 10 years to get his daughter married; unfortunately he had to spend Rs. 4 lakh for his heart surgery.

There must be hundreds of related cases. So, buddies stay insured with medical insurance plans to save yourselves from the spiraling medical bills. You can buy medical policy from companies like Apollo Munich Insurance.

Benefits of a Health Care Insurance

Buddies, this is Maitreyi....I am so eager to share my experiences at this blog forum about the benefits that I availed after buying a health care policy. Well, it was three months back that I simply browsed through some online portals to gain an insight into health care insurance. Apollo Munich Insurance appealed to me the most and I applied for health care online. I filled in the details...and very soon I got insured with an individual Health Care Policy – easy Health Standard - involving a meager amount. You never know when diseases hit your doorsteps...I was never hospitalized during my 24 years and fever once in three or four months used to be my regular disease.

My God..I was diagnosed with tumor in my kidney and had to immediately undergo a surgery. The health care insurance card bore the complete cost amounting to nearly Rs. 2 lakh.

What was covered in the health care policy were in-patient treatment, pre- and post- hospitalization, domiciliary treatment, daily cash for shared accommodation, and more. I am thinking to opt for the Family Health Care Insurance once the year is complete. I caught a glimpse of the plan comparison chart and saw the differences in the benefits that one can avail with the insured sum.

So, I opted for the Easy Health Premium; now I can take care of the medical expenses for my parents without worrying about the expense factor. So, guys get a good health coverage; to save time go for health care online.

Family Health Insurance

Trying to purchase the right kind of family health insurance that would fit well within the budget is not an easy task, and with the augmenting medical costs, it has become even tougher. Now when it comes to deciding the budget, a family health care insurance plan always works better than an individual health insurance plan. While Individual health insurance plans and Family Health Insurance Plans are similar, they still differ in cost and degree of coverage. Hence it is vital to know their seemingly invisible differences. While an individual health insurance plan is simply for only one person, a family health insurance plan works wonders for the entire family.

As suggested by the name itself, family Health Insurance Premium are specially designed to suit the health needs of the family. However, the costs of family health insurance plans are higher as they cover more than an individual. And so larger the family more will be the cost of family insurance plan. Moreover, various other factors like ages, gender, and habits of the family members too are taken into consideration before deciding the premium amount.

Therefore, a family insurance plan for health coverage might cost you more than you might have imagined. However, just the way there are indemnity plans available for individuals and those which cover families. These indemnity plans provide the same freedom that they provide for individual plans, and hence indemnity plans for families are cheaper than a family insurance plan and hence these are more profitable.
