There are insurance policies that protect you against damages other than those covered by life insurance. Certain risks such as Health, fire, theft, accidents and natural calamities are covered, to ensure that you and your family are protected from unforeseen losses.

The coverage period for most such plans is usually one year, and premiums are normally paid on a one-time basis.

Some of the risks that are covered by general insurance are:

HEALTH INSURANCE

Health Insurance: Common Myths

I HAVE A COMPANY COVER. HENCE I DO NOT NEED A SEPARATE HEALTH COVER FOR MY FAMILY ?

Most companies provide a conservative cover of anywhere between Rs. 2 to 5 lakhs. This leaves you unprepared for any major medical emergencies which may cost a lot more in today’s times of rising medical costs. Secondly, the cover is provided till the time you remain employed with the company. In the event that you move to a new job or quit your current job, the track record that you have built in health insurance at your old employer will not transfer to the new company policy. Moreover, the health insurance provided by the employer stops on retirement – just when you need it the most. At that age not only is health insurance more expensive, if one has already developed some medical problems it could be impossible to get yourself insured. The wise thing is to buy a health cover for your family when you are young and in good health and secure a stable financial future.
