Health Insurance is a financial protection plan that helps you pay for medical expenses such as:
Hospitalization charges
Doctor consultation fees
Surgery costs
Medicines & pharmacy bills
Diagnostic tests (X-ray, blood test, MRI, etc.)
Pre & post hospitalization expenses
Instead of paying these high medical costs from your own pocket, a health insurance policy covers these expenses either through:
Cashless Treatment – Insurance company pays the hospital directly
Reimbursement – You pay first, then claim the amount later
Rising medical costs in cities like Mumbai
Protects your savings during medical emergencies
Provides access to better healthcare facilities
Covers critical illnesses & major surgeries
Tax benefits under Income Tax Act 1961 (Section 80D)
Health insurance protects you from high medical costs and ensures that your savings are not affected during medical emergencies.
Cashless hospitalization means the insurance company directly settles your medical bills with the hospital, so you don't have to pay from your pocket (except non-covered expenses).
