should I opt for my own health insurance
plan when I already have a company
[12]
health policy this is one question which
is asked quite often and it's truly a
[16]
valid question because like everything
else a company health plan has its
[21]
advantages and disadvantages in this
video we shall lay the pros and the cons
[26]
of simply continuing your group health
insurance plan versus complementing it
[31]
with a personal health insurance plan

[39]
let's get started a group health
insurance plan is quite a useful
[43]
compensation benefit and here are five
points in support of it 1. under a
[49]
group health insurance plan you as an
employee don't have to pay any premiums
[54]
which means your health insurance comes
to you free of cost 2. group health
[59]
insurance not only covers you but in
most cases it also covers your spouse
[64]
and up to two children sometimes three
3 the waiting period for
[69]
hospitalization is waived off in case of
most group plans which means your health
[74]
cover starts from the day it is allotted
to you 4th there are no medical
[79]
checks before enrolling into a group
health insurance plan 5 and most
[83]
importantly group health insurance plans
generally cover pre-existing illness
[88]
from day one which is by far the biggest
gain from these plans with these five
[93]
powerful points it is quite difficult to
argue that a personal health insurance
[98]
policy will add any value to a corporate
group health policy so here are the
[103]
arguments presented by the opposing team
who believe that it makes good financial
[108]
prudence that you complement your group
plan with a personal health insurance
[112]
policy here are their points first the
very assumption that all organizations
[118]
offer health insurance benefits is
flawed according to a 2015 benefit
[123]
trends survey only 44% of Indian
companies of a group health cover as an
[129]
employee benefit which means if you
to move to one of those 56% companies
[134]
which don't offer group health insurance
then you can face a massive financial
[139]
stress during a medical emergency
second the continuity of group health
[144]
benefits is often just a downturn away
when companies will look at ways of
[148]
reducing expenses and the acts will most
certainly fall on the group Health
[152]
Insurance Program as companies may
reduce the coverage of a policy from
[156]
five lakhs to two lakhs or maybe ask
employees to copay some part of the
[161]
premium or apply certain supplements the
third argument is the general inadequacy
[166]
of the group health insurance plan most
group health insurance plans are either
[171]
2 lakhs or 3 lakhs of coverage now in an
earlier video we presented a case to
[176]
maintain your health insurance at at
least 6 times of your monthly salary for
[181]
someone earning 80,000 rupees per month
our salary or 2 lakh health insurance
[185]
cover will be quite a case of under
insurance the difference between the
[189]
requirement and the actual needs to be
bridged with a personal health insurance
[193]
plan finally a corporate health
insurance plan will almost never last
[198]
beyond your retirement even if you were
covered through these plans throughout
[201]
your working life to start a health plan
at the age of 60 is never a good idea
[206]
because in addition to the struggles of
finding an insurer
[209]
who will accept your case you have to
deal with waiting periods exclusions on
[214]
any pre-existing illnesses that you
might have and heavy sub limits on
[218]
certain procedures a very effective
strategy employed by lakhs of Indians is
[222]
to have both the corporate plan and the
individual plan this way you have an
[227]
added cushion in case your medical
emergency goes over the corporate plan
[231]
limits along with an abundance of
advantages like higher benefits no claim
[236]
bonus lifelong renewability
