Things to Keep in Mind About Health Insurance
1. Why do you need health Insurance?
No illness or accident comes with a fair warning. Health insurance companies come to financially aid the insured during illness or injury in all hospitalization and Outpatient Department (OPD) cases. A health insurance cover is intended to pay for the treatment of the illness or accident and help recover surgical and medical expenses incurred by the policyholder or others insured as part of the health insurance plan. The policyholder can claim this benefit either through a cashless facility or through the process of reimbursement.
2. What kind of protection is available for individuals and families?
ManipalCigna Health Insurance has an array of individual health insurance plans that are designed to cover individual policyholders and family floater health insurance plans with the benefits of individual plans that extend the coverage to the entire family rather than just a single individual against illnesses with cashless hospitalization and numerous other add-on riders (added coverage features) and benefits that can be customized according to the individual/family’s needs and the insurers’ offerings.
For example, the sum insured is generally high in a family floater plan, ensuring all family members are covered under a single policy, and any family member can make a claim.
3. What is the highest Sum Insured (INR) in ManipalCigna Health Insurance Plans?
The Lifetime Health Insurance Plan from ManipalCigna Health Insurance is one of a kind to last a lifetime.

9. Is there a health insurance plan that accommodates Outpatient Department (OPD) procedures?
As health insurance customers, we mostly pay attention to healthcare requirements from a hospitalization point of view in the face of an accident, injury, or disease. What we do not realize and consider about our healthcare costs is that every year, we spend a significant amount of money on health and diagnostic tests, which are Outpatient Department (OPD) Procedures. A win-win health insurance plan is one that takes into account our non-medical and OPD expenses. In addition, there are a lot of offerings around simplified fitness and wellness, free home delivery of medicines, cashless lab tests, etc.
