Comprehensive Perspective

Premium Prices Variation - Segment

The new data highlights that buying a health insurance plan at an early age can help you save on premiums. A 26-year-old can get a health insurance plan for ₹5 lakh sum insured at ₹11847 while a 56-year-old has to pay an average premium of ₹30277 for the same coverage amount.

If two adults buy an individual health insurance plan with ₹5 lakh coverage, they need to pay ₹11,847 each, which costs ₹23,694 or even higher. But if they buy a combined plan, it would cost only ₹ 17,024, saving ₹6,670 in premiums. That’s why it is always advised to go for a combined plan to save on premiums.

Adding family members to your health plan can lead to a change in premium costs. A family floater plan allows the inclusion of your spouse and children under a single policy without experiencing a significant premium hike. A 36-year-old adult has to pay a premium of ₹13,586. Adding another adult of the same age increases the premium to ₹19,725, and including a child in the same plan raises it to ₹23,301 with a sum insured of ₹5 lakhs. Moreover, the premiums for two adults and two children cost ₹26,869.

It is always advised to buy a combined or family floater plan to cover adults and children under 1 plan. This ensures savings in premium, when compared to buying multiple individual plans to cover the same number of members.
