Health insurance is more than just a safety net; it is a crucial financial safeguard that protects you from the high costs of medical emergencies. With healthcare expenses continually rising, having a health insurance plan is indispensable.Certain medical emergencies can occur unexpectedly, and the costs associated with hospitalisation, surgeries and treatments can quickly become overwhelming.According to the National Health Accounts Estimates for India, over 47% of healthcare expenses in India are paid out-of-pocket, leading to significant financial strain.
Health insurance is a type of insurance coverage that helps individuals and families manage the financial burden of medical expenses. It is a legal agreement between you and your insurance company, under which the latter agrees to pay for your medical expenses in return for a premium you pay. At Reliance General Insurance, a health insurance policy is like a superhero, shielding you against unexpected health emergencies by providing much-needed financial assistance.Our comprehensive health insurance policies cover a range of medical expenses, such as inpatient and outpatient treatments, daycare procedures, surgeries, pre- and post-hospitalisation costs, cashless hospitalisation, doctor consultations, medications and diagnostic tests.
You purchase a health insurance policy depending on your specific coverage needs and budget and pay a monthly amount, known as a premium, at regular intervals to maintain the coverage. When you need to visit a doctor for a prescription or require hospitalisation, your health insurance plan shares the financial burden. Simply put, whenever you need medical attention, your insurance company will be there to pay a significant amount of your bills.It means, you can focus on your healthcare and treatment without stressing over money arrangements.And, what’s more? You can enjoy tax benefits under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act for premiums paid for a health insurance plan. Also Read: What Is Health Insurance & Its Types | A Complete Guide

The right health insurance plan makes quality healthcare accessible and prevents you from paying exorbitant medical expenses.Here are some reasons to buy health insurance:
The primary reason to buy health insurance is financial assistance during challenging times. Without medical insurance, dealing with a sudden illness can lead to a significant financial strain.Health insurance, on the other hand, helps you by sharing a large portion of your medical expenses, depending on your chosen coverage.
In the absence of health insurance, individuals may delay or ignore their health due to rising medical costs. This, in turn, can lead to critical health issues and life-threatening diseases.On the other hand, a health insurance plan provides you with easily accessible quality treatment at the network hospitals. Not only that, you can get cashless treatment at any hospital of your choice under the “Cashless Everywhere” initiative.
Health insurance plans like Reliance Health Global Insurance Plan provide coverage for several Chronic conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, third-degree burns, organ transplants, and more.Without medical insurance, dealing with these medical conditions can lead to hefty expenses. When you have the right plan, you can take care of yourself and your dependents by providing them with on-time care.
Health insurance not only helps you overcome the financial strain due to medical expenses but also helps you prevent medical conditions by providing necessary preventative care.The best health insurance plans offer coverage for routine check-ups, doctor consultations, etc., for early detection and prevention of health issues.
By investing in a suitable health insurance plan, you can enjoy greater peace of mind, knowing that your insurance company is there for financial support.From necessary financial assistance to round-the-clock support, your insurance provider is always there to back you up.
Health insurance is not merely a plan to cover unforeseen medical expenses. It is an overall financial management tool that also allows you to maximise your savings and reduce tax liabilities.Under Section 80D of the Indian Income Tax Act, you can claim income tax deductions up to ₹1 lakh* on the medical insurance premium paid for yourself, your spouse, your children and even your parents.Here is how a health insurance policy can help you reduce your tax burden:
Let us understand the above with examples:
Example 1: When health insurance premiums + preventive health check-ups are within the limits
Mr Sharma is 35 years old. He has a family floater health insurance policy for himself, his wife and 2 children, for which he pays ₹20,000 as a premium. He also bought a separate senior citizens’ health plan for his parents for a premium of ₹15,000.The total premium he pays is ₹35,000, which is well within the ₹75,000 limit he has as per Point B in the table.Since he has a family history of diabetes and high blood pressure, Mr Sharma undergoes a health check-up every year for ₹2,000. His parents also undergo a health check-up for ₹4,500. The total PHC amount is ₹6,500.Adding the total premium plus total health check-up amounts, Mr Sharma pays ₹41,500, which is again within the limit of ₹75,000.So, he can claim the entire ₹41,500 as a health insurance income tax deduction under Section 80D.
Example 2: When health insurance premiums exceed the maximum permissible limit
Mr Verma is 32 years old and has a family floater policy covering himself, his wife and 1 son. He pays a premium of ₹26,000 for his family health plan.He has dependent parents aged 58 and 59 years. He pays a premium of ₹27,000 for a separate policy for his parents. The total premium outflow for Mr Verma is ₹53,000, which is above his limit of ₹50,000 as per Point A in the table.Thus, despite paying higher premiums, Mr Verma can only claim a maximum deduction of ₹50,000.If any member of his family undergoes a preventive health check-up, he cannot claim that as a health insurance income tax deduction as he has already exhausted his deduction limit.

After the massive health crisis, this percentage shot up to 55% in 2021.Today, health insurance policies come with in-built COVID-19 coverage, thanks to IRDAI's proactive approach to making it mandatory for all health insurance companies in India.Most insurance plans offer financial coverage for hospitalisation, vaccination, screening, consultations, and other necessary treatments.

Understanding the factors that influence health insurance premiums is crucial to making informed decisions about your coverage. These factors determine the cost of your policy and can help you choose a plan that fits your budget and needs.Here are the key elements that impact health insurance premiums:
Younger policyholders typically enjoy lower health insurance premiums due to their lower risk of hospitalisation and care. Conversely, older individuals face higher premiums due to increased health risks and a greater likelihood of requiring medical attention.
Your current health status and medical history significantly impact your insurance premiums. Individuals with a history of serious medical conditions will generally face higher premiums compared to those with a clean medical background.
Higher coverage amounts typically result in higher premiums due to the increased financial risk to the insurer. Conversely, lower coverage amounts will mean lower premiums, offering basic protection.
Comprehensive policies, which offer broader coverage and additional benefits, come with higher premiums compared to basic health insurance plans. Similarly, adding optional coverage increases the premium, providing extra protection at an additional cost.
Lifestyle choices such as smoking, alcohol consumption and sedentary behaviour are considered when calculating premiums. Poor lifestyle habits increase the risk of serious health issues like cancer, diabetes and obesity, leading to higher premiums.
Policyholders who do not make any claims during a policy year are eligible for a No Claims Bonus, which provides discounts on premiums at the time of renewal. This bonus can significantly reduce your premium costs, rewarding you for maintaining good health.
The cost of healthcare services varies by location, affecting premium rates. Urban areas with higher medical costs often lead to higher health insurance premiums compared to rural areas, reflecting the differing costs of medical services.
Longer policy terms might come with discounts, reducing the overall health insurance premium cost. Multi-year policies can be more cost-effective in the long run, offering stability and financial benefits over time.
Additional coverages such as critical illness riders, maternity benefits and OPD treatments increase the premium amount. These add-ons provide extra protection but at a higher health insurance cost.
If your family has a history of certain hereditary conditions, your premiums might be higher due to the increased risk of developing similar health issues. This factor helps insurers assess potential future health risks.
Jobs involving high-risk activities or exposure to hazardous environments can result in higher premiums due to the increased risk of injury or illness. Occupation-related risks are factored into the premium calculations to ensure adequate coverage.
Understanding these factors can help you make informed decisions when choosing a health insurance plan.At Reliance General Insurance, we provide detailed information and assistance to help you select health insurance that fits your needs and budget, ensuring comprehensive coverage at competitive premiums.

Purchasing health insurance is not as easy as buying any other product. Several factors need to be considered to make an informed decision. One of the most anticipated questions among insurance seekers is: should I purchase a regular health insurance policy or a group health insurance plan?A group health insurance plan, as the name suggests, is designed to cover the medical expenses of a group of individuals. They can be purchased by employers, teams or a larger group of people. They come with a higher sum insured which is shared among the group members. On the other hand, regular health insurance plans are purchased to cover the medical needs of a person or a family - individual mediclaim policy or family-floater health insurance.Such plans offer dedicated medical coverage that can be further customised to meet the unique needs of the individual or the members of the family.Whether you need an efficient group health insurance plan or a smartly curated regular health insurance policy, you can purchase your desired health insurance solution at Reliance General Insurance.We offer affordable plans, fast claims settlement and the peace of mind you deserve.
Ensuring the health and well-being of our ageing parents is a top priority. Investing in a separate parents health insurance for them is one of the best ways to secure their medical needs. While family floater plans cover the entire family, having a dedicated policy for your parents offers several significant benefits.Firstly, a separate health insurance policy provides tailored coverage specifically designed to meet the increasing healthcare requirements of seniors.As parents age, their risk of health issues rises, leading to more frequent hospitalisations, surgeries and routine check-ups. A dedicated policy ensures that these expenses are adequately covered without impacting the sum insured for the rest of the family.
Moreover, separate health insurance for parents allows for customisation to address specific medical needs. You can choose a plan that includes benefits such as coverage for pre-existing conditions, shorter waiting periods and specialised treatments that are more relevant to older adults.Reliance General Insurance’s Health Infinity Insurance is an excellent option, offering a high sum insured of up to ₹5 crores. This plan efficiently covers a wide range of medical expenses, ensuring comprehensive protection.Additionally, by opting for a separate policy, you can benefit from reduced waiting periods and enjoy discounts of up to 35% on premiums.
Health insurance is not just for when you're unwell; it's a financial safety net for unforeseen emergencies. Even if you are currently healthy, having health insurance helps manage potential future health issues, ensuring you are prepared for unexpected medical expenses.
Contrary to popular belief, many health insurance policies offer comprehensive maternity coverage. At Reliance General Insurance, our Maternity add-on provides coverage up to ₹2 lakhs, including pre and postnatal care and childbirth expenses.
No insurance policy covers 100% of your treatment costs. Policyholders are usually required to pay a portion of the expenses through deductibles or co-payments. Understanding your policy’s terms can help manage these out-of-pocket costs effectively.
Purchasing health insurance online is safe, easy, and cost-effective. At Reliance General Insurance, you can buy insurance in minutes with discounts of up to 40%. Our secure online platform ensures your personal information is protected throughout the process.
Add-ons, or riders, are additional features that can be added to your health insurance policy for enhanced benefits. Popular add-ons include critical illness cover, maternity cover and OPD cover.
