      What is High-Value Health Insurance?

      High-value health insurance is a form of health insurance plan that can cover the cost of any expensive health treatments. In such a form of health insurance, the sum insured starts above the usual amount and can be as high as Rs. 1 crore or go beyond this amount. This is what makes high-value health insurance unique. Apart from the above, it is essential to note that purchasing high-value health insurance plans ensures that they are more detailed and integrated compared to regular health insurance plans.

      Another feature of high-value health insurance plans is the increased coverage for the following requirements:

      These also include the expenses incurred due to various non-hospitalisation charges, advanced-stage cancer and more.

      Benefits of High-Value Health Insurance

      The following are the benefits of purchasing high-value health insurance plans:

      1. Higher co-payment for senior citizens

        Although regular medical insurance with coverage for senior citizens includes a co-pay clause, a high-value health insurance plan has a higher percentage of the same. A senior citizen may need to pay a more significant share of the co-pay clause, ranging from around 10 to 15%. Such an arrangement may require the insured to pay out of pocket.

      2. Meticulous underwriting process

        If you have purchased high-value health insurance, the underwriting process is more detailed and time-consuming than regular health insurance plans.

      3. Higher premium amount

        Purchasing high-value health insurance automatically comes with a higher assured sum than regular health insurance. Due to the expensive nature of these insurance plans, families from low-income groups may choose something other than purchasing high-value health insurance.

      Who requires High-Value Health Insurance?

      The requirement for high-value health insurance plans depends on the following factors:

      • Net worth
      • Future Earnings, and
      • Health Insurance needs

      Health insurance is one of the most required insurance for any individual or family. Therefore, purchasing high-value health insurance should be done only if the high premium can be paid. Additionally, if there is a need for medical treatments outside the country, then the purchase of high-value health insurance is justified. Finally, it is essential to evaluate your net worth. 

      If you are not an individual with a high net worth, getting high-value health insurance plans can be challenging due to the higher premium. In such a situation, getting top-up or super top-up along with your regular health insurance to extend the basic coverage is best.

      In summary

      Therefore, when purchasing health insurance, it is better to understand the benefits of both regular and high-value health insurance. It will help make the best decision and thus help get financial cover in case of any health issues.
