Why Do I Need Health Insurance?
In December 2018, a study showed that just 44% of Indians had health insurance. This means that over half the population lives without any kind of medical insurance. If you haven’t purchased a health insurance policy yet, here’s a look at all the reasons why you absolutely need to have medical insurance:
Changing Lifestyles
Changing Lifestyles
The world around us is constantly changing. Today we face rising levels of pollution and hectic work schedules, both of which make us prone to several health issues. A good health insurance policy will help you take care of yourself without breaking the bank.
Rising Medical Cost
Rising Medical Cost
If you’ve been visiting the doctor regularly over the years, you may have noticed that the costs of medical treatments and check-ups have gone up. The easiest way to keep up with inflated healthcare costs is by getting yourself a good medical insurance policy while you’re still young and in the best of health.
COVID-19 Cover
COVID-19 Cover
The recent pandemic showed us just how important having good health insurance is. When you have a great medical insurance policy, you can rest easy knowing that you’ll be taken care of even if you were to be diagnosed with COVID-19.
Tax Benefits
Tax Benefits
It may seem frivolous, but one great reason to get a health insurance policy is due to the health insurance tax benefits. Premiums that you pay to maintain a TATA AIG health insurance policy are exempt from taxes under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act. If you’ve bought a health insurance plan for yourself, your spouse or your kids, you can claim up to INR 25,000 per year. If you’ve bought a medical insurance plan for your parents who are over the age of 60, you can claim an additional deduction of INR 50,000 per year.

The Sum Insured
Medical treatments are becoming more expensive by the day. You’ll want to find yourself a health insurance policy that offers high cover without burning a hole in your pocket.
Waiting Periods
Each health insurance policy will outline a few separate waiting periods. The first is the initial waiting period. This is the time you must wait before making a non-accidental claim after purchasing the health insurance policy. The second is a waiting period for pre-existing diseases. This can range from anywhere between 2 to 5 years. Depending on whether you have a pre-existing illness or not, you’ll want to weigh your options. The third waiting period is for specific illnesses. Some health issues such as hernia or ENT disorders will only be covered after a few years of cover. Generally, the waiting period for these issues is 2 years. The final waiting period is for maternity cover. Most health insurance policies will cover maternity expenses only after a few years. If you’re planning on growing your family, you’ll want to take this into consideration.
Age Limits
Some health insurance policies have a cap on the maximum age an individual can be to enjoy cover. You should check whether you can enjoy life-long renewals under your medical insurance policy before making a decision.
Network Hospitals
If you’d like to enjoy the convenience of cashless claims, you should check the list of network hospitals that your preferred medical insurance provider has tied up with. Check if your preferred hospital is on the list.
The Add-ons and Riders Available
To ensure you have the best possible protection, you may want to purchase a few add-ons or riders along with your medical insurance policy. An add-on offers additional cover for a small cost, which is added to your total premium. Look for add-ons that suit your health requirements.
The Claim Settlement Ratio

- Autoimmune Diseases A disease that causes the body’s immune system to attack healthy cells. Over time, this can lead to very low or no activity from the immune system, decreasing the body’s ability to fight invaders, making the individual vulnerable to infections. Autoimmune diseases include rheumatic heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
- Cancer Disease that causes abnormal cells to grow uncontrollably, destroying body tissue.
- Chest Pain/Heart Disease Typically caused by a blockage in the blood vessels leading to the heart.

Common examples include heart attack, bypass surgery, angina, and heart-valve-related issues.
- Co-Payment If you’d like to lower your health insurance premium, you can opt for co-payment. You can promise to pay a certain percentage of each claim you make against your medical insurance policy, and your insurance provider will take care of the rest. If you’d like your insurance provider to settle the full claim, you can opt-out of co-payment.

- Sum Insured Your sum insured refers to the maximum amount that your insurance provider will pay in a given policy year. It basically reflects the total value of your policy. You can choose your sum insured when you purchase your health insurance policy. But, you should remember that the amount you choose will directly impact your premium.
- Ulcerative Colitis/Crohn’s Disease A chronic, inflammatory bowel disease that causes irritation or swelling, known as inflammation, in the digestive tract, typically the large intestine or colon. If untreated, it could lead to sores, commonly known as ulcers, in the lining.
