Understanding Health Insurance

What is Health Insurance and why do I need it?

Health insurance is a contract that covers your medical expenses in exchange for a premium. It helps protect your savings from high hospital bills, covers emergencies, surgeries, and sometimes even preventive care or regular check-ups.

Does health insurance cover pre-existing diseases?

Yes, most policies cover pre-existing diseases, but only after a waiting period (usually 2–4 years) from the date of policy purchase. Always check the terms and conditions for exact details.

Can I increase my health insurance coverage without buying a new policy?

Yes, many insurers offer a top-up or super top-up policy that lets you increase your health cover at a lower cost than buying a new policy. These plans activate only after your base policy’s threshold is crossed—ideal for covering high medical expenses while keeping premiums affordable.

Does health insurance cover alternative treatments like Ayurveda or Homeopathy?

Yes, many insurers now cover AYUSH treatments (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) under specific plans or sections. However, coverage may be limited to government-recognized hospitals or certified practitioners.

Are modern or advanced treatments like robotic surgery or stem cell therapy covered under health insurance?

Yes, many newer health insurance plans now cover modern treatments such as robotic surgeries, stem cell therapy (for specific indications), targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and more. However, coverage varies by insurer and policy, and there may be sub-limits or conditions. Always check the “modern treatment coverage” clause in your policy.
