01Single or floater, base plus top-upOne policy for you, or a floater for the family — with a super top-up above it, which costs far less than one large policy for the same protection. The sum assured can be enhanced later without starting again.
02Every clause checked for what is there and what is notIs day-one cover included, or is there a waiting period? Is there any co-payment? A room-rent limit, or none at all? Is a top-up available above the base? Which conditions are excluded? I read out what each policy has and what it quietly leaves out, before you buy.
03Parents covered sensiblySenior-citizen plans priced separately — adding parents to your own floater is usually the expensive mistake.
04Claims handled by meYou call me from the hospital, not a helpline. I raise the cashless request and follow the TPA until it is approved.
