Insurance
In India, the prevailing health care scenario has not been of a high order compared to the developed nations. The kind of medical facilities that are provided by the governments falls grossly inadequate to meet the ever increasing needs felt by citizens. Hence, most often, people are dependent upon private medical facilities, which over the years have become increasingly costly with the advancement in the field of medicine (medical inflation in India has been @ 15% in the past few years). This has thrown up the need for going for voluntary health insurance commonly named as Mediclaim Policy.
Mediclaim Policy
It is a health insurance policy that covers medical expenses up to the sum assured in case of any health emergency. The insurer pays for the treatment cost be it in any accident or illness that led to hospitalization including in-patient cover, day care treatment, etc.
Your Mediclaim will also cover the COVID-19 (Ncov) treatment cost up to the sum assured.
