Choose the Best Health Insurance Plan in India 2021

India is fighting a pandemic, and owing to the rising health concerns, both mental and physical, several people are opting for health insurance covers. But to choose from the pool of options available in the Indian market is a difficult task.

There are numerous companies that offer health insurance policies in India but not all fulfill the requirements of the Indian audiences. Some companies fail to provide claims to the policy holders, while others provide limited coverage with low benefits at high premiums. There are also instances where companies manipulate the insurance holders into settling for lesser sum insured. Hence, it is very important that you choose a health insurance provider that is authentic, trusted and most importantly has high claim settlement ratio.

The best way of finding the best health insurance policy for you is to compare amongst the various health insurance covers available. Compare the coverage provided including sum insured, ailments covered under the policy, what is not covered under the policy etc. The most important thing is to view the claim settlement ratio of the company which indicates the number of claims that have been settled by the insurance provider in a particular financial year.
