Our View

While buying a health insurance policy, it is necessary to look at exclusions and waiting periods. Certain diseases or illnesses mentioned in the policy document will be covered after stated waiting periods. Sub-limits imposed on certain expenses is another drawback. Though the policy features good coverage, you must look out for other plans which do not carry any sub-limits and offer lifelong renewal as well.
