Types of Health Insurance in Mysore
What are the things to know about Health Insurance in Mysore?
- Before purchasing a health insurance policy, make sure to check the adequate coverage it provides for the number of individuals you want to insure. But before that, do not forget to calculate the premium amount using a health insurance premium calculator. This calculation will help you manage your finances in an organised manner and keep track of the financial expenses.
- Moreover, you should keep in mind the following points before getting health insurance in Mysore:
Mysore falls under Zone C, which means medical expenses are comparatively lower than the cities under Zone A. As a result, the premium for a health insurance policy in Mysore is also less.
- 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.
If you are a single person who lives alone, getting an individual health insurance might be the best option for you. However, you can purchase a family health insurance policy to take care of the medical needs of your entire family. In addition, there are other insurance policies like maternity health insurance and group health insurance policies, which you can purchase if required.
According to an article published by Deccan Herald on 5th March 2022, a sum of ₹13982 crores has been allotted for medical welfare in Mysore during the financial year 2022-23. Unfortunately, this sum is only 5% of the state’s total budget, which signifies a major lack of healthcare facilities. Due to these reasons, medical expenses are increasing; hence, getting a health insurance policy is better.
The city is also facing new cases of patients getting by the Dengue Virus since June 2022, especially in rural areas. This is due to a lack of cleanliness and hygiene measures among the people living there. Although the city has not yet reported cases of death due to Dengue, a health insurance policy is necessary for safety reasons.
