*Small Consulting Fee Applies. I do not issue health insurance myself. I do a session and connect with reliable professionals.
I have come across professionals in Corporate India who depend only on the group health insurance offered by their company as employee benefit. This is okay but they should consider a family floater health plan.
Positively speaking, when you buy individual health insurance, you ensure that no health insurance company can deny issuing policy based on your pre-existing diseases you may or may not get in future.
