Mediclaim insurance premium tends to increase with age - more the age, higher the premium. You can be covered for medical conditions that may be diagnosed over the years provided there is no break in the policy. In addition, each 'no claim’ year would fetch you a discount on your premium or an increase in your sum insured amount at no extra cost. The treatment in case of ‘no-claim’ bonus varies from company to company. Lastly, the income tax benefit is available under Section 80 D of the Income Tax Act. While an internet connection is required to start the Point of Sale, it will stay operational even after a complete disconnection.

Mediclaim insurance is necessary owing to increasing medical costs these days and uncertain environment. Therefore, ensuring your family for health insurance is a must and should surely be a part of your regular financial planning. A family floater health insurance, as the name suggests is a plan that is made for families. Family floater health insurance plans usually cover the individual, spouse and children or parents. In general, the cost of buying floater coverage for the family is less than buying the Individual policies for each member. However, in a Floater Policy, the Sum Insured is shared by all members and in Individual policy each member has a separate Sum Insured.

This concept works on the same lines as the no-claim bonus on your car insurance. A Policyholder, who hasn’t made any claim in a year, can use the bonus to their benefit the following year.

Health Insurance companies use co-payment after insured member turns a certain age. Co-pay is that part of your claim amount, which you have to bear. Co-pay can be in % terms or an absolute amount. For example, in case of co-pay of 20% and claim of Rs. 10,000, the insurer will pay you Rs. 8,000 (80% of 10K) and you will bear 20% (Rs. 2,000).  

Buying an individual cover or a floater cover is an individual’s perception. However, as a general rule, at younger if married its recommended  to opt for floater cover. As you grow older you could go for an individual cover.

Yes, the waiting period is only for the amount by which the Sum Insured has been enhanced. For example, if the waiting period for heart attack cover is 3 years and the insured has to be treated for the same ailment within a year of the enhancement, any expenses over and above the old cover will not be covered if the expenses exceed the basic Sum Insured at the time of renewal. 

The age after which the insured cannot take or renew the policy is the Exit Age. However, the new generation plans are covered for a lifetime.


Date of inception is the date from which the policy becomes valid.

Yes. For example, if you have a cover of Rs 100,000 and incur an expense of Rs 150,000 then you will have to pay Rs 50,000 by yourself.

        While choosing a Mediclaim policy, you need to consider several factors that go into every Mediclaim policy. Make sure you go through the terms and conditions of the Mediclaim policy as to when the medical insurance premium needs to be paid. Also, what is the total medical cover which can be expected from the Mediclaim policy: whether the Mediclaim policy is a cashless one or not. The Mediclaim policy could also be a group or a family one and hence if you have a family to look after, you could opt for a family health insurance plan under which your spouse and your children get covered. In such a case you should be certain of who all fall under the family insurance plan. You can also go through the requirements of the policy like the number of days in which the medical bills of the medical expenses be submitted to the Insurance Company. After clearly going through the Mediclaim policy only then should you go for it.


Insurance is a contract of utmost good faith. It always pays to be honest. Declaring the correct and accurate health status at the time of buying health insurance ensures smooth processing of your application. This will also help us service you in a better manner.

For instance a person wants a Mediclaim insurance for himself, his spouse and their children, the Family Floater plan offers insurance coverage to the entire family under one premium payment. Let’s take an example wherein the person insures himself, his spouse and the dependent children with the individual insurance plans with a sum insured of Rs. 1 lakh each, he ends up paying premium ranging between Rs. 1000 - Rs. 2000 for each family member. On the other hand if the person would have opted for the family floater plan with the sum insured of Rs. 3 lakhs, the total premium would surely be less than the separate premium payments in individual health insurance plans. Moreover the separate Mediclaim plan holds the cover of only Rs. 1 lakh as against Rs. 3 lakh in case of the Floater plan thus helping the family in case the medical treatment costs go beyond that. This Rs. 3 Lac is available for each of the family members individually as well as collectively.

The disease under Permanent Exclusions will not be covered in the Health Insurance plan.

Immediate Relative would mean the insured's spouse, dependent children and dependent parents

No, the two are bundled, and in a new generation plan, both are covered within the limit of the policy. For Critical illness and special ailments there are special covers.


All the expenses including room rent, pre/post hospitalisation, etc. related to treatment are capped up to the amount mentioned in the sub limit bracket.


The age eligibility of the insured for taking the policy is the Entry Age

The Mediclaim premium refers to the amount that the Mediclaim policy holder pays to the insurance company or the Mediclaim Company. The Mediclaim premium may vary from company to company depending upon the number of items that get covered under the Mediclaim policy. The Mediclaim premium generally rises with an increase in the risk perception of the insurance company concerning the particular individual or group.

Thus, you might have the cost of the Mediclaim premium increasing for an aged person or for a person having a particular ailment or illness. A Mediclaim insurance premium rises for smokers as compared to non smokers. The Mediclaim insurance policy cover will give you an approximate figure of the Mediclaim premium amount that you would be charged by the company.
