• Most health insurance firms do not offer health insurance to consumers above a specific age. This is because, as people get older, they are more likely to have pre-existing illnesses or chronic ailments. To avoid a situation where one needs health insurance but is unable to obtain it, one should get insured as early as possible. Renewing health insurance on time ensures that you are protected by the policy’s terms and conditions.
• The policyholder becomes eligible for tax advantages under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act of 1961 when they purchase a health insurance policy. To keep receiving tax benefits, one must renew their health insurance coverage regularly.
• When young, one needs to pay less premium compared to someone older. So, if you let your current health insurance coverage lapse, you may not be able to acquire another policy at the same rate, making it a burden on your pocket.

• Always renew your insurance policy before the expiration date. If you fail to renew your health insurance coverage by the due date, you will be given a grace period of up to 30 days, depending on the policy. Your insurance will expire if you do not pay the renewal premium for your coverage during the grace period. If your policy has lapsed, you will not be supplied with any health insurance coverage, according to the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) criteria. Furthermore, if you do not renew your insurance within the grace period, you risk losing your no-claim bonus.
• Evaluate your and your family’s healthcare needs while renewing your health insurance coverage. Examine the coverage provided by your current insurance and add or eliminate any coverage that meets your needs. You can also add or remove a family member from your insurance. During renewals, you can also add or remove any rider from your health insurance policy.
• Check the amount of money you’re covered for under your health insurance policy. You should check your health insurance policy’s sum insured when examining your insurance requirements. If you believe your current sum insured is insufficient, you must enhance it while renewing your coverage.
