Why Choose 1 Crore Health Insurance?

Most people ignore the amount of cover they need according to their family size and requirements and end up facing financial crunch at the time of medical emergencies. Let's understand this with an example:

There is a family of 4 members (husband+wife+2 children), where only the husband is the earning member. Among them, 1 is diagnosed with cancer. So, they buy a health insurance plan of 25 lakhs (sum insured). With continuous treatments, their present plan is not able to cover all the expenses and ultimately, the family is in a financial turmoil. The situation would have been different if the family would have opted for a health insurance policy with a higher amount of sum insured (1 Crore).

If you have a history of critical illness in your family, it’s always better to have a 1 Crore health insurance policy. Yes, you do have to pay a high premium for it but at the same time, you can rest assured that all your medical expenses (for expensive treatments) are looked after.
