What is Individual Health Insurance?
Individual health insurance is an insurance plan that offers medical coverage to a person on an individual sum insured basis. It refers to the type of health insurance plan that needs to be purchased separately for each family member. It allows you to customize the coverage as per your own health needs and not of the entire family.
Most individual health insurance plans provide comprehensive coverage to an individual for emergency medical expenses resulting from hospitalization costs, day care procedures, road ambulance services, alternative treatment, organ donor expenses, etc. However, the premium and coverage of an individual health policy cannot be shared amongst your family members.
