Individual Health Insurance Advice
There are a very less number of people who are qualified to give Individual Health Insurance Advice, but it's not difficult to find one. Visit any bank or policy company and ask for a policy advisor, each bank, and policy provider has one of them. Or you can refer to someone who has a good experience in health insurances.
How To Pick The Best Health Insurance Plan
Choosing the right insurance plan might get easier if you follow the right steps. So, below are some major points you should ponder upon before picking up an insurance plan.
#1. Maximum Coverage And Right Sum Insured
Your need will be the priority and the matter of consideration while choosing an insurance policy. The first benefit you should look for is a maximum benefit, so you have to pay lesser from your pocket. The other thing to keep in mind is the highest amount you think you will need, if you fall sick. The policy that guarantees both accordingly is the insurance policy you should pick.
#2. Low Waiting Period For Existing Disease.
Policies which cover your pre-existing disease is an excellent choice if the waiting period is low.

#3. High Claim Settlement Ratio.
Many companies are very bad when it comes to claim-settlement. Check the claim settlement record of your policy providers before picking one.
#4. Policies With Higher Sub-Limit Pay
Different policies have sub-limits for different expenses like house-rent, per day medical and food expenses. Pick the policy which pays the highest coverage of sub-limit expenses.

#5. Wider Network Hospital Coverage
The network hospital coverage is amazing in metro cities, however, it's not that great in rural areas. So, depending on the part of the country you live in, pay for a policy with a wider network hospital coverage in your area.
#6. Fair Premiums
Last but not the least, the policy with a fair premium depending on the benefits. Don’t ask for low premiums, look for fair premiums.

Affordable Health Insurance
Affordable has different meanings for different individuals. Lesser premium is not always the affordable option as premiums depend on different factors. So, first you have to figure out the benefits that you need, and then the second thing is to find out which provides you all the benefits without any compromises at a minimum cost.
How Does Health Insurance Deductible Work
Deductibles are the extra fee that every insured has to pay before he/she gets policy coverage. The best way to save money while buying an insurance policy is to apply for lesser deductibles. The lesser you opt for, the lesser you need to pay before your insurance provider starts paying for your medical expenses.
