Tips to Make a Good Health Portfolio

Most of us would like to be very sure about the pros and cons of any health care policy and the benefits we would gain.

It is very difficult to make a choice on a perfect health policy as there are so many insurance companies offering a range of policies to choose from. It will be easier to follow some key insights to make the choice easier.

First you need to consider your personal lifestyle and demographic factors.

Bajaj Allianz - Health Insurance Policy for Senior Citizens
Bajaj Allianz Insurance Company offers Silver Health policy that allows the maximum insurance of Rs. 5 lakhs.

If you are 30 years old and unmarried your insurance needs would be different from someone who is 35 years old, married with dependent parents.

To start with you have to consider your age and family size. As a young person you will generally have fewer ailments or pre-existing health conditions. When you are married you can expect the equation to change. A standalone policy can adequately cover in patient treatments for a young single person.

A person above 35 years of age who is married should upgrade their insurance plan to a family floater policy. This will provide proper health cover for the spouse and later can be expanded to include children. At this stage the sum insured should be a 5 – 10 lakh. Dependent parents can also be considered in the floater plan.

Bharti AXA General Insurance Company Ltd
Bharti AXA offers health insurance with a range of benefits to take care of you and your family's health care needs. Its comprehensive health insurance is flexible and affordable.

When you have dependent parents – they will need health covers as well, if they don’t have a policy of their own. At times when the retired parent is a government employee, most probably will be under the “Central Government Health Scheme” which will provide health benefits even after retirement. A top up cover for them will suffice in such cases. As parents mature it becomes more and more difficult to get adequate health insurance. It would save a lot of hardship all around to ensure they are properly health insured.

Keep your occupation in mind when you buy health insurance for example if you are in the marketing field with a lot of travelling – it will be judicious to buy a personal accident policy as under this - death and permanent disability is covered.

Just One in Five Health Policy Researchers Use Social Media for Communication

Those with a family history of Pre-existing or Hereditary Health Problems like high blood pressure and diabetes should opt for a critical illness cover at a young age. This will be possible only when taken relatively early in life. With this policy you can you buy insurance against serious health problems at a low premium.
