| Category | Limit (₹) | Who Pays | Who's Covered |
|---|---|---|---|
| Self + spouse + children (<60) | 25,000 | You | Family |
| Self + spouse + children (you or spouse ≥60) | 50,000 | You | Family |
| Parents (<60) | 25,000 | You | Parents |
| Parents (either ≥60) | 50,000 | You | Parents |
| Preventive health checkup | 5,000 | You | Family + parents |
| Maximum total | ₹1,00,000 | (if both self + parents are senior) |
Common scenario (age <60, parents <60): ₹25K + ₹25K = ₹50K deduction Best case (self ≥60, parents ≥60): ₹50K + ₹50K = ₹1,00,000 deduction
Note: Preventive checkup (₹5K) is WITHIN the above limits, not additional.
Layer 1: Base Health Insurance (₹10-25L)
Layer 2: Super Top-Up (₹50L-1Cr)
Layer 3: Critical Illness (₹25-50L)
Total recommended coverage:
Parents need their own policy (not on your family floater):
| Age Group | Recommended Cover | Estimated Premium | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| 45-55 | ₹10-15L + ₹25L top-up | ₹15-25K | Get in early, lower premium locked |
| 55-65 | ₹10-15L + ₹25L top-up | ₹25-45K | Pre-existing waiting period critical |
| 65-75 | ₹5-10L + ₹15L top-up | ₹40-70K | Limited options, consider SCSS + self-fund |
| 75+ | ₹5L base | ₹60-100K+ | Very few insurers, consider self-insuring |
Senior citizen specific plans: Star Health, HDFC Ergo, New India — offer plans up to age 65-70 entry.
Pre-existing disease (PED) waiting period:
Your employer's group health cover is NOT enough because:
| Risk | Impact |
|---|---|
| Job loss/change | Coverage ends immediately |
| Low sum insured | Typically ₹3-5L, some ₹10L — insufficient for major surgery |
| Sub-limits | Room rent capped, specific procedure caps |
| No portability | Can't convert to individual plan in most cases |
| Family restrictions | May not cover parents |
| Claim experience affects group | Your claim doesn't build individual claim-free bonus |
Rule: Treat corporate cover as a bonus. Always maintain a personal policy.
| Criterion | What to Check | Red Flag |
|---|---|---|
| Claim Settlement Ratio (CSR) | >94% | Below 85% |
| Network hospitals | Your city's top hospitals covered | Major hospitals missing |
| Room rent | No sub-limits preferred | ₹5K-10K room cap |
| Co-pay | 0% preferred | Mandatory 10-20% co-pay |
| Restoration benefit | Full sum restored after claim | No restoration |
| No-claim bonus | 10-50% annual increase | Caps at low % |
| Pre-existing waiting | 24-48 months | >48 months |
| Day care procedures | 500+ covered | Limited list |
| AYUSH coverage | Included | Not covered |
| Maternity (if needed) | 9-month waiting, ₹50K-1L | Not available |
Top insurers by CSR (verify latest):
| Entry Age | Approx Premium (₹10L family floater) | Lifetime Impact |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | ₹8,000-12,000 | Lowest premium, no PED issues |
| 30 | ₹12,000-18,000 | Still affordable, good entry |
| 35 | ₹18,000-25,000 | Moderate, act now |
| 40 | ₹25,000-35,000 | Getting expensive, PED waiting starts |
| 45 | ₹35,000-50,000 | High premium, limited options |
| 50+ | ₹50,000-80,000+ | Very expensive, may face exclusions |
Key insight: Buy early. Premium increases are compounding — a ₹10K policy at 25 costs less over a lifetime than starting at 40.
You CAN switch insurers while keeping benefits:
When to port: Poor claim experience, better plan available, network hospital changes.
