Get Cover Options How Claims Work

Types of Cover

Four ways to structure family health cover

Individual

A separate sum insured for each person. Best where one member's health profile differs sharply from the rest.

Family Floater

One shared sum insured for spouse and children — efficient for young families under one policy.

Senior Citizen

Purpose-built covers for parents, underwritten for age-related conditions, often with co-pay options that keep premiums workable.

Super Top-up

Adds a large second layer above a deductible — a cost-efficient way to raise total cover for the whole family.

The Parents Question

Health insurance for parents — the decision most families get wrong

Cover for senior parents is where fine print bites hardest: pre-existing disease waiting periods, co-pay percentages, disease-wise sub-limits and room-rent caps decide what actually gets paid. Buying the cheapest senior plan online, unread, is how families end up with a part-paid bill at discharge.

Waiting periods, mapped. We tell you exactly when existing conditions start getting covered under each option.
Co-pay, quantified. If a plan carries a 10–20% co-pay for seniors, you will know what that means in rupees on a typical bill.
Hospital network, verified. We check the cashless network against the Guwahati hospitals your parents would actually use.
Floater vs separate policy. We run both structures for your family's ages and show you the difference before you choose.

Questions Families Ask

Health insurance FAQs

Can I get health insurance for my parents in Guwahati if they have diabetes or blood pressure?

Usually yes, subject to the insurer's underwriting. Conditions like diabetes or hypertension are typically covered after a waiting period, and some plans apply a co-pay for senior citizens. We shortlist insurers whose terms suit your parents' health profile and explain the waiting periods and co-pay before you buy.

Should my parents be on my family floater or on a separate policy?

A floater shares one sum insured across all members, and the premium is driven by the oldest member. For senior parents, a separate policy often works better — their claims do not exhaust the family's cover and the family's premium stays lower. We compare both structures for your exact ages before you decide.

What is cashless hospitalisation and does it work in Guwahati?

In a cashless claim the insurer settles the bill directly with a network hospital, so you do not pay first and claim later. Major hospitals in and around Guwahati participate in insurer networks; the network differs by insurer, so we check that the plan you choose is usable at the hospitals your family would actually go to.

Can I port my existing health policy without losing waiting-period credit?

Yes. IRDAI's portability rules let you switch insurer at renewal while carrying forward the waiting periods you have already served. Porting must be applied for at least 45 days before renewal — talk to us well before your renewal date.
