Health Insurance


Classification of Health Insurance Products and Services

Private health insurance companies offer products that can be broadly categorized into two categories namely:-

a) Standard Health Plan

b) Comprehensive Health Plan

a) Standard Health Plan

Under this plan, coverage includes:-

• Basic hospital treatment

• Emergency care

• Inpatient and Out-patient Services

• Online and Wellness Services

• Diagnostic laboratory tests

• Domiciliary nursing

• Physiotherapy

Standard Health Plans are more reasonably priced in comparison to Comprehensive Health Plan.

b) Comprehensive Health Plan

It covers broad-spectrum healthcare services including tertiary healthcare. But costs involved are exorbitant. Policy coverage of each insurance product or service varies to a great extent.
