What are the things to know about Health Insurance in Amritsar?

While opting for a health insurance policy in Amritsar, these are the things that you may consider:

  • The foremost thing you should look at is the premium amount payable for renewal of the policy. It is imperative that you choose the premium amount as per your financial capabilities. You can use the premium calculator tool. With this, you can get a clear idea about the exact premium amount.

  • Amritsar is a Zone C city under the categorisation of Indian cities. Therefore, the premium payable for residents of this city will be significantly less than the premium paid by residents of Zone A and B cities. 

At Digit, we have two zones: Zone A (Greater Hyderabad, Delhi NCR, Greater Mumbai) and Zone B (Rest of India). You get an additional discount on premium if you are based in Zone B. Not just that, we have No zone-based co-payment. 

  • While opting for a health policy, you should look into the kind of coverage that it provides to you and your family members. You should carefully select the policy after taking into account the medical condition of your family. 

  • Moreover, an ideal health insurance policy depends on your social structure, i.e., the number of members in your family. For example, the individual health insurance policy will be more suitable for you if you are a single individual. Whereas, if you have a family with senior citizens or children, you can opt for a family health policy.
        

  • Lastly, look out for the waiting period that every health insurance policy mandates their policyholders to undergo before they can use all the benefits of the same. 

    At Digit, we have two zones: Zone A (Greater Hyderabad, Delhi NCR, Greater Mumbai) and Zone B (Rest of India). You get an additional discount on premium if you are based in Zone B. Not just that, we have No zone-based co-payment.
