Health Insurance in India: Coverage Gaps and Emerging Preventive Benefits
Health insurance in India often leaves policyholders with unexpected out-of-pocket expenses due to coverage gaps like room rent caps and limited benefit limits. While many focus on sum insured and premiums, newer policies increasingly offer preventive benefits such as annual check-ups, teleconsultations, and wellness programs. Consumers are encouraged to understand their policy details fully to utilize both protection and prevention features effectively, reducing financial strain and promoting early health management.
