Health Insurance is an insurance that covers you and your loved ones at the time of medical
emergencies by paying for the expenses incurred during the treatment. An insured has to pay
the premium as per the plan selected and the cumulative amount is thus paid during any medical
contingency. In India, it is also called mediclaim. Health insurance also acts as a tax saving
tool by providing tax exemption under section 80D.
Health Insurance can be paid in two ways depending upon the type of Health Insurance cover.
Either the insured can pay the expenses out-of- pocket and reimburse the same later from the
insurer (insurance provider), or the payment can be made directly to the hospital or medical
facility provider by the insurer.
