Key Features of Edelweiss Health Insurance

Treatment at a good hospital, even for something as minor as fever and cough, can cause serious damage to your hard-earned savings. Thus, it is very important to have the best health insurance plan that provides protection to you and your family.

The research team at PolicyX has identified several factors such as network hospitals, claim support, annual premium, and solvency ratio, which are important indicators of how reliable an insurance provider is.

Let's understand in detail.

1. Renewability

   The plan offers a lifelong renewability option. It saves your pocket from financial stress caused due to medical emergencies and keeps you prepared to handle any critical/ difficult situation.

2. Network Hospitals

   Network hospital list is an important criterion that people consider while buying health insurance. The longer the list of hospitals, the easier it is to find one in nearby places.

   Insurers appoint network hospitals, doctors or medical practitioners, or clinics that charge lower fees to their policyholders. The policyholders can also avail of cashless facilities thereafter filing a claim at these hospitals. It simply means that your treatment will be done without paying money to the hospital. With a cashless hospitalization, all the medical bills get settled upon the completion of the treatment or after the discharge.

   Edelweiss Health Insurance Company has a tie-up with 3281+ network hospitals across India providing cashless facilities to its customers.

   Have you ever thought of a case when you get admitted to a non-network hospital? Who will bear your medical bills? In that case, the company offers an option of reimbursement where the paid amount is refunded to the insured after 10-12 working days.

3. Solvency Ratio

   The solvency ratio is another crucial factor to consider while selecting the best insurance company. It helps to determine the survival capacity and reliability of the insurer. As per IRDAI, it is mandatory for every insurer to maintain a solvency ratio of 1.5.

   The solvency ratio of Edelweiss health insurance company is 2.2 which fulfills the set standards of IRDAI.
