Health insurance plans are divided into different types based on the way they offer coverage. Let’s take a look at the types of health insurance plans you can buy from IFFCO Tokio –
Coverage for treatment expenses (Cashless or Reimbursement)

Under an indemnity-based medical insurance plan, you can either claim cashless hospitalisation or ask for reimbursement for hospitalisation costs up to the sum insured within policy limits. You can also make a claim for associated costs like pre- and post-hospitalisation costs, ambulance charges, day care services, prescription drugs, and so on in this medical insurance policy.
Lump sum payout
This is also called as a benefit-based plan. This type of medical insurance policy pays you a defined benefit amount as a lump sum upon diagnosis of any of the diseases covered. Critical illness insurance is an example of a benefit-based plan. This lump sum you get from this medical insurance policy can be used for any expenses you face during your illness, such as medical costs, household expenses, and other bills.
Extra coverage on top of existing plan
This is also called a top-up plan. A top up health insurance plan helps to supplement the coverage you already have from your existing health insurance. You can take a top up medical insurance policy for extra coverage for medical expenses.

The sum insured plays a huge role in determining how effective your health insurance plan is. Therefore, the sum insured must be chosen with great care. Else, you could end up being underinsured (having lesser coverage than you require) or overinsured (paying unnecessarily for more coverage than you need). To select the appropriate sum insured, simply take the following factors into account –
Your age plays an important role in deciding how much coverage you need. In your 20s, you can manage with a lower sum insured than in your 50s.
If you are at possible risk of certain diseases, you may want a higher sum insured. If you are buying a family health insurance plan, ensure that the sum insured will suffice for all members.
If you already have certain health conditions that necessitate frequent and costly treatment, you may want a higher sum insured.
Residents of metropolitan cities generally face higher costs of medical treatment than those who live in smaller towns. Choose the sum insured in proportion with the costs of treatment in your city.
Ensure that you can afford your health insurance premiums in your income. Choose the sum insured that has a premium which fits in your budget.
Finally, make sure that your sum insured and its resulting premium fit well within your overall goals of financial planning.
The novel coronavirus is an infectious disease that has affected every corner of the world. According to several leading medical experts, people who are young in age and test positive for COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms such as loss of taste, smell, and respiratory problems. Older people, however, have to be more careful since they are at higher risk of getting infected by COVID-19, especially if they have existing health issues such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, or cancer. This is why policyholders are worried about whether their insurance plans cover medical expenses for coronavirus. If you are thinking about the same, do not worry. Our health insurance plans do provide coverage for medical expenses due to COVID-19.
Here is a list of our plans that cover COVID-19:
As per the applicable tax laws, Section 80D of the Income Tax Act states that the premium you pay for your health insurance policy can be claimed as tax deductibles. Here is a closer look at how you can claim tax deductions:
Tax Deduction of Rs. 25,000
If you buy a health insurance policy for yourself, your spouse, children, and parents who are under the age of 60 years, you can get a total tax deduction of Rs. 25,000.
Tax deduction of Rs. 50,000
If you buy a health insurance policy for your parents who are above the age of 60 years, you can get a total tax deduction of Rs. 50,000.
Tax Benefits Rs. 1,00,000
If you buy a health insurance policy for your parents when you are above the age of 60 years, you can get a combined tax deduction of Rs. 1,00,000.
Tax deductions of Rs. 5,000 every year on heath Check-up
You can also get tax deductions of Rs. 5,000 every year on health check-up expenses.
It helps to stay informed of the claims process in advance. This way, you know exactly what to do when you face medical bills and need to get your coverage needs taken care of. Let’s take a quick look at the claims process –
Cashless Claims
If you opt to get treated at any of our 6400+ cashless hospitals, you can avail enjoy the cashless facility. We will settle the bills directly with the hospital. Here is a quick look at the steps involved –
Reimbursement Claims
Just in case you opt to get treated at a non-network hospital, you can claim coverage through reimbursement. In reimbursement, you make the payments on your own for the treatment and then claim the amount from us. Let’s look at the steps involved in reimbursement claims –
You can get hospitalisation insurance through two main types of policies – group Mediclaim and an individual health insurance policy. True to their names, a group policy covers several people whereas an individual health insurance policy covers just one individual. A good example of a group medical insurance policy is the health insurance coverage given by a company to its employees.
The sum insured of a group Mediclaim policy is made available to all who are covered under the plan. Since many people are covered under a single plan, the premium of a group policy is generally cheaper than the premium of an individual policy.
Are there any other differences between group health insurance and an individual policy? Yes, there are. Let’s look at the following comparison table for a better understanding.
| Features | Group Mediclaim (Employer-given health insurance) | Individual Health Insurance |
|---|---|---|
| Members covered | Employees of the organisation | The policy holder who purchases the plan |
| Sum insured | The sum insured is generally lower, could be around Rs.5 lakhs | The sum insured is generally higher, could be as high as Rs.20 lakhs or more |
| Premium | Generally paid by the company though the employee can avail additional benefits at an added cost that may be deducted from the salary | Paid entirely by the insured individual and premiums are generally higher than group plans |
| Coverage tenure | Till employed with the company | Lifelong, provided renewal is done on time |
| Tax deductions | Not applicable | Yes |
| Medical test | Not needed | Usually required after a certain age |
| No claimbonus | Not applicable | Yes |
It is important to bear in mind that a group Mediclaim policy, such as your company-given health insurance, will only cover you as long as you are a working member of that organisation. The moment you retire or change jobs, you lose that protection. Thus, while it is useful to have the coverage of a group Mediclaim plan, you may also want to look into getting your own individual health insurance policy.

A health insurance premium is the amount that insurance providers charge to their policyholders in order to provide coverage for them. Most health insurance policies require their premiums to be paid annually to remain active. There are many types of health insurance plans, and their premiums would depend on the coverage that they are offering.
Take a look at a few important factors that affect your health insurance premium:
Premiums will usually be higher if you have a family history of a certain illness as you are most likely at risk of that illness too.
As you age, your premiums will most likely increase since advancing age is often accompanied by health issues.
A policy with a longer duration would mean lesser premiums and vice-versa.
The premium may also be affected by the nature of your work and the resulting level of risk you face.
Vices such as smoking lead to a host of health complications. This is why premiums are usually higher for smokers.
People with higher BMI generally have to pay higher premiums as compared to those with a normal BMI.
Premiums can also be impacted by the location in which you stay. For instance, if your area has an unstable climate, you might be charged with higher premiums.

Your health insurance policy offers cover against medical expenses. If a person meets with a medical emergency, then they can file for a claim with health insurance. However, a policyholder will not get such benefits when the health insurance policy has expired. The person must pay the medical expenses out of their pocket. Therefore, it is extremely important that you remember the expiry date of your medical insurance policy and renew your health insurance plan on time to enjoy interrupted protection.
Under health insurance, the age and the amount of cover are two main factors that decide the premium. Usually, younger people are considered healthier and thus pay lower annual premiums. Older, people pay a higher health insurance premium as their risk of health problems or illness is higher. Similarly, smokers and those who consume alcohol have higher premiums. Even the nature of your job and where you stay can influence the premium of your medical insurance policy.
Yes, you can have more than one medical insurance policy. In case of a claim, you can choose which policy to use to cover your costs. The benefit of having 2 health insurance plans is that, once the Sum Insured of one policy is exhausted, the remaining medical expenses, if any, can be claimed through the second health insurance policy.
