Life is quite unpredictable. The only thing that matters the most is good health for you and your loved ones in every aspect. But, life-threatening illnesses and emergency hospital visits arise anytime, anywhere. During such times, you cannot solely depend on your life savings to overcome the medical expenses. This is when health insurance plans for you and your family come to play.
Due to a rise in medical inflation and an increase in work-life imbalance, having a health insurance plan is necessary. However, it is better to take a health plan for family at an early stage in life. The reason being, you pay low premiums, and a single plan covers you and your loved ones as well. Moreover, as you grow older, buying health insurance might need medical checkups, longer waiting periods for pre-existing illnesses, and the insurer might exclude some important diseases. Hence, getting health insurance when you are younger is a wise financial choice.
But we know that not everyone understands medical and financial terminologies. You, too, will have your fair share of doubts regarding family health insurance, especially if you are single and yet to start a family.
Let us solve some common doubts regarding family health insurance plans with the help of illustrations.
Illustration 1: You Have a Lovely Family with Spouse, and Children
Ramesh, along with his wife and one child plans to seek health insurance. Now, he can purchase individual health plans for each family member – wherein he will have to pay premiums for three people differently.
However, he can simply cover himself and the remaining two family members, all under a single policy – family health insurance. It not only becomes easier to manage the plan, as it is a single policy but also becomes an affordable option for Ramesh.
Illustration 2: You Just Got Married and Will Be Starting A Family Soon
Janhavi recently got married. In a few years, let us assume she plans to have a baby. In this situation, having taken a family health insurance plan in advance (before getting married) will benefit her in multiple ways. She will not only be paying low premiums, as she took the policy early in life, but can also seek maternity benefits when needed.
Along with this, the family health insurance plan also provides coverage of approx. INR 25,000 for normal delivery and INR 35,000 for cesarean section.
Besides, children of the age between 90 days and 30 years can be added under the plan.
Illustration 3: You Have a Lot of Financial Responsibility
Sometimes, a health insurance plan for family can be an excellent financial investment. Especially for those in their early 20s, they can seek family health plans to avail of tax benefits and provide extra medical coverage to their parents.
For instance, Ketki, who is 22 years old, has recently started working in a multinational company. Now, she can seek family health insurance for herself and include her parents in it. This way, she can avail tax deductions under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Also, later in life, when she decides to start a family, she can add her spouse and children in the plan by simply paying extra premiums thereon.
Illustration 4: You Have Young Children and Old Parents to Take Care Of
As your parents grow old, health issues are going to rise. Similarly, infants and toddlers are bound to fall sick more often. Therefore, if you are someone who just had a baby and have old parents to look after, your hospital visits might be frequent. Also, you cannot always rely on your savings to overcome the medical expenses incurred.
On the other hand, if you plan to purchase individual health insurance plans for each of them, the premiums would be costly. This is because the individual plans are mainly based on the age of the policyholder. In such a situation, a health insurance plan for family comes in handy, as all your loved ones are covered under a single plan.

✔️Do insurers consider Covid-19 under critical illnesses?
The incorporation of coronavirus as a critical illness is not completely determined but is unlikely. The reason for this is the stringent list of illnesses that insurance companies adhere to. Since the list does not even incorporate certain types and stages of cancer, it is doubtful that coronavirus will make the list. However, in case of permanent lung damage or any other condition caused by the virus, it is likely that a claim for critical illness can be sought.
-
✔️What can I do to protect myself and prevent the spread of Coronavirus?
Here is a two-part list of WHO-recommended suggestions on how to protect yourself from your virus and how to be a responsible citizen should you contract the virus: - Be responsible and cover your own mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. - Wash your hands with soap thoroughly for at least 20 seconds. - Maintain 3 feet or 1-meter distance between yourself and others in public places. - Avoid stepping out unnecessarily. - Cut social interaction immediately and remain in quarantine. - If you exhibit symptoms and these symptoms persist after medication (while a viral fever responds to antibiotics coronavirus will not), seek medical attention immediately. Additionally, you can call the hospital or your healthcare provider for any queries. - Stay calm and self-isolate first - Do not panic.
-
✔️Are there any coronavirus specific insurance plans available in India?
A few providers have created insurance policies designed especially for the virus outbreak. However, these still come with numerous terms and conditions for one to fulfill.
