The increasing risk of contracting an illness or being diagnosed with a disease or critical illness has made it a must for every individual, who wishes to save his/her hard-earned money in the event of a medical emergency, to purchase a health insurance policy. A health insurance policy, in addition to covering your inpatient hospitalisation expenses for the given policy year, will also provide a cover for day care procedures, medical tests, ambulance fees, specialist/consultation charges, etc. In addition, if you have a health insurance policy, you can also avail cashless treatment at any hospital that is part of your insurer’s network.
