Buy Corporate Group Health Insurance Policy for Employees Online in India

A Group Health Insurance is a type of health insurance plan that covers for a group of people who work under the same organization. This is often offered as a valuable benefit for employees as the premium for the same is borne by the employer. The group health insurance coverage can be extended to the family members of the employees in some cases. This insurance plan is also referred to as corporate health insurance or employee health insurance.
