What All to Look For?

-

According to market watchers, senior citizens want to take a policy on the strength and presence of the following factors: i) maximum coverage for most of the ailments/

diseases ii) payment of reasonable premium iii) minimum co-payment considerin­g their age

and health factors Considerin­g their preference­s and the age group in which they are slotted by health insurance companies, we have worked out a product comparison chart based on the salient features of each insurer’s policy designed exclusivel­y for senior citizens from the age of 60 years. Many other health insurance companies provide health insurance cover for individual­s aged above 60 years, but that is the coverage on an ongoing insurance policy and not at the entry age of 60 years (L&T Insurance, IFFCO-TOKIO, Reliance, Royal Sundaram, etc). The senior citizen health insurance policies detailed in the chart are for people aged between 60 years and above.
