Individual Health Insurance

What is an Individual Health Insurance?

An individual health insurance is a type of health insurance policy customized for a young individual to safeguard and cover oneself from various illnesses, hospitalizations, child delivery expenses and other major and minor health conditions that may arise during one's lifetime.

While individual health insurance is essentially designed for young people without families, you can still customise your plan to cover your dependents, such as your senior parents, spouse and children. However, there will be separate individual plans with different coverage and benefits for each family member.

For example, Mr. Rahul, aged 30, has an Individual Health Insurance plan for himself and his spouse. He has taken an individual health insurance of ₹10 lakhs. This means he and his wife will both have ₹10 lakhs each to cover their health needs.

Remember, your health is your greatest wealth. Protect it with the right insurance, not just for you but also for those who are dependent on you.

Why securing your Health today matters more than ever?

Mental health issues
According to the National Mental Health Survey, every 6th person in India needs mental health support.
Breast cancer
In India, Breast Cancer accounts for 28.2% of all female cancer cases, making it the most common type of Cancer.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease was the leading cause of death after heart disease in India.

Factors to Choose Perfect Individual Health Insurance Coverage

Factors to Choose Perfect Individual Health Insurance Coverage

  • Health Care Expenses: Before considering any policy, consider the medical expenses you can incur in your city. It can include the cost of hospital stays, medicines, surgeries, etc.
  • Healthcare Inflation: Inflation increases as the year passes, causing medical expenses to increase over time. Select any individual health coverage amounts for yourself that consider potential increases in medical costs over the years.
  • Pre Existing Diseases: Consider Pre-existing Diseases to have a proper protection. You will need more coverage if you have any pre-existing medical issues.
  • Age and Lifestyle: Consider your age, lifestyle, and any related health concerns before choosing your coverage.  Higher coverage may be necessary for older people or those leading risky lifestyles.
  • Place of Residence: The cost of healthcare can differ greatly between locations and cities. Greater coverage may be necessary if you live in a metropolitan region because of the increased cost of healthcare.
  • Medical Facilities: Ensure your insurance covers treatments at the hospitals or healthcare facilities you prefer. It has no room rent capping and has the option of opting for an ambulance.
  • Ability to Pay: Your expenditure and ability to pay are the most important factors in helping you decide your final sum insured. Although it's critical to have enough coverage, make sure the price is reasonable and won't strain your money.
  • Riders and Add-Ons: Certain insurance plans provide extra alternatives for coverage, such as coverage for critical illnesses, maternal benefits, senior citizen coverage, etc. Determine if these extras are required for your circumstances.

Individual Health Insurance Premium Chart

Individual Health Insurance Premium Chart

At Digit, our health insurance rates are divided into two zones based on healthcare prices in different cities for convenience.

  • Zone 1: It includes Greater Hyderabad, Greater Mumbai, and Delhi NCR.
  • Zone 2: It includes the rest of India.

Let’s look at a real-world example to understand the individual health insurance plans and the premiums charged for the particular sum insured. Ideally, we recommend for “Infinity Wallet Plan” as one of our most popular and reliable plans for every individual.

Individual Health Insurance Premium for Different Sum Insured Options

Let’s take the example of Rahul who is 25 years old and has Individual Health Insurance. He lives in Noida (Zone 2) and has chosen the Infinity Wallet plan for himself having a sum insured of ₹10 lakh. Let’s see how much annual premium he pays for this particular sum insured.

Sum Insured Starting Annual Premium for Infinity Wallet Plan (excluding GST)
₹5 lakhs  ₹6,213 
₹10 lakhs  ₹7,455 
₹15 lakhs  ₹8,077 
₹25 lakhs  ₹9,319 
₹50 lakhs  ₹10,748 
₹1 Crore ₹12,301

Note: The annual premium mentioned above is excluded from GST and only mentioned for Zone 2 cities. The price varies for Zone 1 cities. Also, age, plan choice, and other conditions may affect your premiums.

Why ₹25 Lakh Coverage Recommended in Infinity Wallet Plan?

Why ₹25 Lakh Coverage Recommended in Infinity Wallet Plan?

A ₹25 lakh sum insured is highly recommended because:

  • The medical inflation rate is rising yearly by up to 14%, increasing the cost of medical expenses and treatment. Hence, the Infinity Wallet plan provides adequate coverage to protect against the rising cost of hospital stays and treatment.
  • It offers a higher no. of coverage at a minimal premium paid. It includes no room rent capping, cumulative bonus, health checkups, etc.
  • Furthermore, financial protection and peace of mind are provided by having a ₹25 lakh sum insured, which lowers the possibility of unanticipated medical costs.

How to Choose the Right Sum Insured

How to Choose the Right Sum Insured for Your Individual Health Insurance?

No amount you save will ever be enough to fulfill your healthcare bills. Still, for sufficient coverage and security, it is important to choose an accurate sum insured under your individual health insurance plan. Here are some factors that will help you choose the right sum insured:

  1. Age: The amount of sum insured you need depends mainly on your age. If you are in your 40s, you will require a larger sum insured to cover rising medical costs. If you are young and healthy, you can begin with a lower sum insured and raise it progressively over time.
  2. Health: Evaluate your health before choosing a sum insured. You might start with a lower coverage level if you're in good health because you might not need to visit the hospital frequently. On the other hand, you should select the insurance coverage amount appropriately if you feel that you may require specific medical operations in the future due to your poor health.
  3. Dependents in Family: An individual health insurance is designed for you, but you have the option to add dependents such as your parents, spouse and kids. Choose a higher sum insured if your family members are dependent on you for their health coverage.
  4. Existing Health Conditions: If you have a previous medical condition or any serious illness requiring frequent medical visits, you should choose a more significant policy with a higher sum insured to cover your medical costs.
  5. Lifestyle & Surrounding: When choosing the sum insured for your policy, you must also consider the city where you reside and your lifestyle. Living in a large metropolis like Delhi or Mumbai increases your chances of experiencing stress and pollution regularly. These cities have reasonably priced medical services. Thus having a policy with a greater sum insured is essential.

Things to Know Before Buying Your Individual Health Insurance

Confused Before Buying Your Individual Health Insurance? Things to Keep in Mind

So far, you might have known why an individual health insurance is essential. However, when purchasing one for yourself, you must keep some important factors in mind. Here are some things you must remember before buying any individual health insurance policy:

 

  • Coverage Benefits: Always consider the coverage you’re getting and whether that’s enough for you. Consider your age, health condition, lifestyle, and estimated medical treatment cost to finalize what coverage you need. This can include pre and post-hospitalizationcritical illness treatment, medical benefits, etc.
  • Sum Insured: Select a sufficient sum insured to cover any necessary medical costs. Think about the long-term rise in healthcare expenses and inflation. The amount of the insurance should be enough to pay for both current and anticipated medical costs over the upcoming years.
  • Premium Cost: Examine the premiums offered by various insurance companies. Select a policy that strikes a balance between the premium cost and the amount of coverage. Ensure that the policy you choose is affordable and provides you with maximum benefits.
  • Network Hospitals: Know about the network hospital list to see if you qualify for a cashless claim. Make sure the hospitals in the network are convenient and near your location. Check whether the hospital has the required specialists and equipment to perform any surgery in the future.
  • Waiting Period: Making a decision would be easier if you were aware of the waiting period clause. During a waiting period in health insurance, the insurer will not accept any claims resulting from specific illnesses, pre-existing conditions, or claiming for maternity benefits. Furthermore, the benefits will only become available to you once this time has passed.
  • Lifetime Renewability: Consider choosing a policy that allows for lifetime renewals to have coverage in later years. This process ensures that you can keep your insurance for your future as you get older and health problems become more common and serious.
  • Claim Process: The whole point of buying health insurance is to benefit from making medical claims. Therefore, look at the claim processes involved with your insurer. Make sure the policy provider has a high claim settlement ratio and a less time-consuming process.
  • Customer Reviews & Testimonials: Trust the people who have already purchased any insurance from the insurer. Look for reviews on social media or your insurance service provider’s website to learn more about people’s experiences with the said brand.
  • Other Benefits: Look at service benefits and other additional benefits, such as pre-and post-hospitalization coverage, preventive health check-up facility, room rent limit, etc., that your insurer provides in addition to the basic coverage.

How to Save Income Tax with an Individual Health Insurance Policy

How to Save Income Tax with an Individual Health Insurance Policy?

Apart from safeguarding your health, an individual medical health insurance also benefits you in maximizing your savings further by giving you the benefit of tax exemptions. This can be done in the following ways:

 

  • Through Preventive Health Checkups: As per the Income Tax Act, Section 80D an individual can get a tax exemption of up to Rs 5,000 on the expenses incurred for preventive health checkups in one policy period.
  • Include your parents in your health insurance plan: According to Section 80D in the Income Tax Act, if you include your dependent parent in a health insurance plan or pay premiums for their health insurance, they can be exempted from taxes up to Rs 50,000 every year.

Are There any Waiting Periods Under Individual Health Insurance Plans?

The term "waiting period" in insurance refers to the actual length of time that you must wait before claiming any health insurance. In simple words, it describes the time you must wait from the day you have bought health insurance and the day you can begin using it. Waiting periods are included in health insurance plans to shield the insurer against immediate claims.

For instance, if your policy states a 30-day waiting period, you must wait 30 days before receiving benefits for any illness or injury.

These waiting periods are of different types, such as initial waiting period, for pre-existing disease, for a specific disease, for maternity benefit & baby cover and for accidental hospitalisation. Let’s compare the waiting periods of different insurers vs Digit.

Types Waiting Period by Other Insurers Waiting Period by Digit

Accidental Hospitalisation No waiting period No Waiting Period

*The 30-day waiting period is available through the Initial Waiting Period Modification add-on.

How is Premium Calculated for Individual Health Insurance Policy?

How is Premium Calculated for Individual Health Insurance Policy?

A lot of people often wonder, how is my health insurance premium calculated? Based on a combination of various factors, your health insurance premium is defined by the following:

  • Your Age: While health conditions are on the rise for young and old people, younger people are still much healthier. Additionally, the younger you are, the more time you have to complete your waiting period for things such as maternity benefits and critical illnesses. Therefore, the younger you are, the lesser your premium! Now you know why people advise the young generation to get health insurance early in life!
  • Lifestyle: Everything depends on our lifestyles today, doesn’t it? Likewise, our health is dependent on the different lifestyle choices we make. Your health insurance premium will also be affected by your habits, both good and bad. So please make sure you declare everything about yourself, right from whether you’re a gym junkie to whether you’re a smoker or not.
  • Pre-existing Diseases or Conditions: In case of a condition, illness or injury for which you’ve already been experiencing signs and symptoms at least about 36 months prior to getting your policy, it needs to be declared while purchasing your individual health insurance policy. Your health insurance premium may be affected accordingly based on the kind of condition.
  • Location: Your health insurance premium will be affected by the place you live in because different cities have different pollution levels, accident risks and medical costs. For example; people living in North India are a lot more prone to lung diseases, due to the high percentage of pollution and decreasing air quality.
  • Add-ons and Covers: To make sure your health insurance plan is suited just for you and the life you want to lead, your individual health insurance gives you the option to opt for specific covers as additional shields, which will increase your premium amount. These covers include the Critical Illness Cover, Maternity and Infertility Benefit, etc.
