Why NRIs in the UK Should Buy Health Insurance from India?
Check out some of the reasons why NRIs in the UK should buy health insurance from India:
-
Affordable Premiums
Health insurance premiums in India are more affordable than in the United Kingdom. This is because the cost of medical facilities is way higher in the UK than in India. Refer to the following table to check the average cost of various medical procedures in India and the UK:
Cost of Medical Procedures (Approx.) India ($) UK ($) Heart Bypass 5,200 10,500 Heart Valve Replacement 5,500 10,500 Cardiac Arrest 7,000 15,000 Knee Replacement 6,200 12,500 General MRI Scan 100 400 Cataract Surgery 1,000 3,000 Liver Transplant 50,000 80,000 Hip Replacement 7,000 13,800 Spinal Fusion 6,500 2,000 Bone Marrow Transplant 50,000 20,000 Since medical facilities are more expensive in the UK, health insurance naturally becomes more expensive there. Therefore, by buying health insurance from India, NRIs in the UK can save a lot of money.
-
Worldwide Coverage
Most health insurance plans for NRIs come with global coverage that pays for hospitalization expenses, maternity expenses and the cost of day care treatment incurred abroad. So, if a UK-based NRI buys health insurance from India, medical expenses incurred in the United Kingdom will also be covered by the insurer.
-
More Plan Options
In India, more than 20 IRDAI-registered insurance companies offer health insurance plans. Besides, each insurer offers multiple plans catering to different needs of the people. Thus, UK-based NRIs can get wider plan options in India allowing them to choose the best health insurance for themselves.
-
GST Refund
UK-based NRIs can save 18% GST on their health insurance premium purchased in India if they pay taxes in the United Kingdom. They can claim a GST refund from the insurer in India if they purchased a 1-year policy and paid the premium amount from an NRE account. However, they need to submit a declaration, 6 months bank statement of their NRE account and a TRC to get the refund.
