What is health Insurance ?
A health insurance plan, commonly known as medical insurance, helps cover the costs of medical treatment for illnesses or injuries. It either reimburses your medical bills or directly pays the healthcare provider on your behalf. Comprehensive health insurance covers claim expenses, daycare procedures, at-home medical care (domiciliary care), ambulance charges, and more.
Having a health insurance policy ensures you're financially protected against a range of medical conditions. Plus, it offers the added perk of tax savings. Under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, 1961, you can claim tax benefits on the premiums you pay for your health insurance.
