But the rising cost of medical care in the country can burn a big hole in your pocket. The rate of medical inflation is higher than the general inflation rate, which means healthcare expenses will shoot up even further. Purchasing a comprehensive Mediclaim policy is a smart way to keep your finances in check.

    When you buy mediclaim insurance, you can cover your recurring medical expenses as well as get the best treatment possible without being financially stressed about the hospital bills.

    In today’s time, it is wise for you to buy a sound mediclaim policy to create a financial shield for you and your family. A mediclaim insurance covers all expenses related to hospitalisation, ambulance, consultation fees and more.

    Here are some of the top benefits of buying a mediclaim policy:

    • Coverage against medical expenses: A mediclaim policy is an ideal investment to safeguard your finances against sharply rising medical expenses. Your mediclaim policy will cover you against a wide range of health-related expenses, such as hospitalisation costs, pre-and-post hospitalisation costs, day-care expenses, hospital room charges, doctor consultation fees, ambulance charges, organ transplant expenses and more. Some mediclaim policies also provide coverage for alternative medical therapies - Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa and Homoeopathy (AYUSH).
    • Cashless treatment: Most insurance providers give you the cashless claim facility in a mediclaim insurance policy. In such an arrangement, you do not have to make any out-of-pocket payments for your medical expenses incurred. The hospital bills will be directly paid to the hospital by the insurance company. However, to avail of this benefit, you must get your treatment from one of the network hospitals of the insurance provider. In a network hospital, you only have to show your mediclaim insurance card to enjoy the cashless facility.
    • Add-on riders: Mediclaim insurance plans allow you to enhance your insurance coverage by opting for riders at an additional premium. Riders such as personal accident coverage, permanent total disability, accidental death, etc., enable you to improve your mediclaim insurance reach.
    • Improved health: The primary objective of mediclaim insurance is to help you remain in good health. For this purpose, mediclaim policies also offer regular healthcare check-up benefits. A sound mediclaim policy covers regular health check-ups in the plan. This helps you and your family remain in the pink of health. Regular health check-ups enable you to keep your health vitals in check and identify any early symptoms of diseases, enabling proactive and preventive treatment.
    • Tax exemptions: The mediclaim insurance policies are given tax exemption for premiums paid under Sections 80D of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This means that your mediclaim policy covers your healthcare expenses as well as allows you to avail tax deductions on your investments.

    Given the uncertain times and increasing healthcare risks, investing in a sound mediclaim policy is a wise choice. Sound mediclaim insurance plans also give you dual coverage – life insurance along with a mediclaim policy – to ensure you can adequately cover both your living expenses and medical costs.
