Understanding Health Insurance Coverage, Critical Illness Plans, and Multi-Policy Claims
Health insurance coverage varies widely in adequacy and design, affecting financial protection during serious health events. Policies may differ in sum insured, coverage limits, and claim processes, including fixed benefit versus indemnity critical illness plans. Unlimited health plans offer varying degrees of coverage, sometimes with conditions. When hospital bills exceed one policy's limit, IRDAI guidelines allow claimants to seek balance from a second insurer, with coordination required between insurers to facilitate claims.
