What is a Health Insurance?
Health insurance or medical insurance is a type of general insurance that safeguards you against financial losses by covering for you when you’re faced with a health condition or medical emergency such as due to a disease, illness or even an accident.
This includes expenses incurred during pre and post-hospitalization, annual health check-ups, psychiatric support, critical illnesses, and maternity-related expenses amongst others, as per your customized health insurance plan.
Think of it like that one friend who you know will always be there for you whenever you’re sick or even just feeling low.
