The IT company I work for provides health insurance. Should I additionally go for personal health insurance? If yes, which health insurance plan should I go for?
I am 26, unmarried and have no pre-existing disease. —Arun Brahma I recommend you buy an individual health insurance plan irrespective of employer-sponsored coverage.
Most employer-sponsored coverage can be inadequate in case of major surgery or critical illness. You should have coverage equal to your annual income with a minimum of ₹10 lakh.
It helps to buy a personal health insurance plan early, as you start accumulating a no-claim bonus, which enhances your sum assured free of cost.
