Please suggest a health insurance

POSTED BY Ramprakash ON July 1, 2012 10:14 pm COMMENTS (6)

Hi
I am 30 year old male working in software industry in delhi. Am married for a year.
My wife is 27 and we are due a baby in October.

At present I have a health insurance provided by my employer which covers the family for 4 lac.

I also have a term insurance from Aviva for 1 cr.

I have no medical history except for once I was admitted in hospital in 2010, for backpain.

No surgery was performed. Only bed rest and lumbar traction for 4 days.

My wife also does not have any medical history.

My father, 56, has high BP (takes medicines). My mom, 51, has diabetes (no medicines reqd.) and thyroid (recentlt has started taking a tablet a day).

I have neither (confirmed from tests taken by Aviva for term insurance).

Please suggest a family floater health insurance. Will that automaticaly include my child once born. Or should I wait for the delivery and then look out for a policy.

Also how long does the whole process of getting the health insurance take. I am asking this because I could be going to US at the end of the month for 2 months.
And are any medical tests required for healtrh insurance.

Thanks
Ramprakash

    Dear Ram Prakash, do you want to cover all 4 of you in a single family floater?

    Please clarify.

    Thanks

          Oh Ok. Just me, my wife and the child (yet to be born child). I had provided details of my parents because they have medical history.

          I am also open to the idea of two separate individual policies for me and my wife. But that will not fit our yet to be born child. Thats why I thought family floater is a better option.

          Thanks

            Dear Ramprakash, please check the Apollo policy where it’s also covering new born child also. As the wife is already pregnant, most of the health insurer ‘ll not cover maternity related expenses till one month after the delivery.

            Thanks
