Policy for after pregnancy

Replied by Policybazaar Team

Hello Binoy, thanks for reaching out. Maternity insurance provides thorough coverage for medical costs incurred throughout pregnancy, including the price of delivery, hospitalisation, prenatal and postnatal care, diagnostic tests, medications, and newborn baby expenses. Given that pregnancy is an expensive endeavour, maternity insurance policies assist women in planning for the financial needs of raising a child.

Health insurance that covers all costs associated with pregnancy, including those related to standard and C-section deliveries, is known as maternity insurance. Some insurance providers offer maternity insurance policies that cover pregnancies, prenatal and postnatal, and newborn baby costs. Additionally, some businesses give their female employees the option of adding maternity insurance as a rider or in addition to the best health insurance plan.

In India, all maternity insurance plans have a waiting period from 9 months to 6 years. The insured women are not permitted to submit any claims for pregnancy-related costs during this time. As a result, it is advised that women choose maternity insurance coverage for at least a few years before they intend to have children. Additionally, the waiting period for maternity insurance varies from plan to plan, so they must check it before choosing a maternity cover.

Hope this helps.

i could not decide which policy is best

Replied by Policybazaar Team

Hello Gopal, thank you for reaching out. We are arranging a callback from our insurance advisor. The advisor shall reach out to you shortly. You may select from a selection of health insurance products from several insurers on our website, including:
1. Individual health plans suited to a single person
2. Family floater health plans provide coverage for your complete family under a single plan.
3. Critical illness insurance policies (usually available as add-on covers)
4. Policies specific to Corona
There are also schemes designed specifically for senior citizens.

However, do note that most comprehensive health insurance policies (individual or family floater) provide cashless coverage across network hospitals, cover COVID-19 treatment costs, and are available with no co-pay for people up to 60 years of age with no pre-existing diseases.

While some features may differ from plan to plan, some key terms and conditions for nearly all comprehensive health policies include the following:
1. All pre-existing diseases have to be declared at the time of submitting the proposal form to avoid rejection of claims in the future
2. The insurer may require you to go through tele- or physical medical tests based on your age and health condition
3. Across all health insurance policies, you will be required to serve certain waiting periods (the period within which you cannot claim treatment of specified diseases). The waiting periods may differ slightly across plans.

Hello Kalesh. Thanks for reaching out. Health insurance plan that covers OPD (Outpatient Department) expenses for your parents. While most health insurance plans primarily focus on covering hospitalization expenses, specific plans also offer coverage for OPD expenses. However, it's important to note that the availability of such plans and their specific features may vary depending on the insurance providers in your region. I'll provide you with some general information to help you navigate through the process:

1. Coverage Details: While looking for a health insurance plan, pay attention to the coverage details related to OPD expenses. Some plans may offer a fixed sum insured for OPD consultations, diagnostic tests, medications, and other related expenses. Ensure that the plan adequately covers the anticipated OPD costs for your parents.
2. Network of Hospitals/Clinics: Check if the health insurance plan has a vast network of hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centres where your parents can avail of OPD services. A more extensive network ensures better access to quality healthcare facilities.
3. Policy Terms and Conditions: Read the policy terms and conditions thoroughly, paying close attention to any exclusions or waiting periods associated with OPD coverage. Some plans may limit the number of consultations, tests, or medications covered in a year.
4. Premiums and Deductibles: Evaluate the premium costs and deductibles associated with the health insurance plan. Ensure the premium is affordable for you in the long run, considering your parents' age and healthcare needs.
5. Pre-existing Conditions: If your parents have any pre-existing medical conditions, check if the health insurance plan covers them for OPD expenses. Some plans may have waiting periods or specific conditions related to pre-existing ailments.
6. Additional Benefits: Look for any additional benefits provided by the insurance plan, such as wellness programs, preventive health check-ups, or teleconsultation services, which can be valuable for your parents' overall healthcare needs.

Reviewing and comparing multiple health insurance plans is essential to find the one that best suits your parents' requirements. It's also advisable to consult with a Policybazaar expert or a licensed insurance advisor who can provide personalized guidance based on your parents' specific needs and the available options in your region.
