• Individual Mediclaim– It is simplest form of health insurance.– It covers the hospitalization expenses for an individual for

upto the sum assured limit.

• Family Floater Policy– It covers the entire family in one plan.– The sum assured value floats among the family members. – The premium for such plans is less than that for separate

insurance cover for each family member.

• Cashless– Available only at authorized network hospitals– Third party administrator should be notified in advance or

within stipulated time limit.– Claim amount is approved by TPA and the hospital settles

the amount with TPA/Insurer.

• Reimbursement– This facility can be availed at any hospitals.– In this case, insured directly pays the bills at the hospital.– He can claim reimbursement for hospitalization by

submitting relevant bills/documents.

• Health Insurance industry is very dynamic in terms of both in products, price as well as processes. So it is sensible to have an expert on your side, who gives updates, suggest changes as and when required and select the best suitable plan for you.

• Example: An individual took treatment in the non-network hospital for a major illness. When he claimed for the hospitalization, his claim was passed for less amount and he had to pay 20% of the expense from his pocket.

Reason: ‘there was a clause of 20% co-payment for the treatment taken in a non-network hospital’.
