It
is always said over time that health insurance is an important thing in a
person’s life. It saves you from the trouble of dealing with medical
exigencies. Nowadays, the experts are changing the mode of health insurance to
cover the critical situations of critical illnesses. It can be said that a criticalillness cover is much different from a so-called normal health cover. The need
for a perfect health cover is very important. However, the combination of two
types of cover makes your life completely hassle free. This type of cover can
give you the extra amount of money you need to spend at the time of critical
illness, which the normal cover are not supposed to give.
How much does health insurance cover – few ideas
Health
insurance gives us the complete cover related to hospitalization costs along
with the treatment associated with the same. The treatments that are included
in a normal cover are injury, illness, and surgery. The claim comes as a form
of reimbursement once you have already spent the amount from your bank. The
claim amount is dependent on the coverage amount along with the expense
incurred. The policy needs a renewal every year to keep it going. However, the
policy does not become invalid once the claim is made. Nevertheless, the critical illness cover is for the monetary
assistance when the expense amount has already exceeded the amount of coverage.
Waiting period of health insurance
The
waiting period of a health insurance is 30 days. However, there are certain
other medical situations that demand a waiting for around 1-2 years to get the
complete amount of reimbursement. All these things are completely written in
the policy paper of a health insurance. The pre-existing diseases might not be
covered under such schemes, or it might be covered after a long waiting period
of at least 4 years. The critical illness cover gives the insurance for certain
specific medical situations that are mentioned in the document. It can pay you
a big sum of money when the disease is detected irrespective of the amount you
have spent.

Challenges faced by a policyholder
The
insurance policy holder, in that situation, is free to spend the amount of
money provided to him according to his wishes. The critical illness cover
should also be renewed once a year to prevent it from getting lapsed. However,
the policy ends if the claim is once made. You have to wait for a period of 90
days to make the policy effective. There's no extra waiting period involved in
this type of insurance. Alternatively, the insurance holder needs to be alive
for 30 days after the claim is made. The health insurance can cover the
expenses of a particular hospital under any situations if that particular
disease falls within the purview of that insurance cover.
Insurance claims
The
health insurance cover can give you the amount you have spent on your hospital
bills. However, if your diseases are out of the purview of your health
insurance cover, then you get nothing. Moreover, there are other related
expenses like the loss of working ability, or anything of that sort. It is here
that the importance of critical illness cover comes into being. You can get a
lump sum amount of $20,000, or in some cases even $70,000 as a claim.Critical illness cover from SHONVivian on Vimeo.
