To understand how Family Floater Health Insurance works, let's consider the example of Mr. Aditya's family. He wanted to buy a family health insurance that provides coverage for each family member. So, he purchased a Family Floater Policy with a sum insured of INR 10 lakhs.
Here are the family members' details of Mr. Aditya:
- Mr. Aditya (Age: 35) - Primary Insured
- Mrs. Ruchi (Age: 32) - Spouse
- Aryan (Age: 9) - Son
- Riya (Age: 6) - Daughter
One day, Aryan falls ill and requires hospitalization for a medical condition. The total medical expenses incurred during his treatment amount to INR 2 lakhs.
The family has a coverage of INR 10 lakhs. Since Aryan's medical expenses amount to INR 2 lakhs, the insurer covers this expense from the shared sum insured. After Aryan's treatment, the remaining sum insured of INR 8 lakhs is available for the medical needs of other family members, including Mr. Aditya, Mrs. Ruchi, Riya and even Aryan again (if the requirement arises).
