Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Mistake 1: Choosing Based Only on Premium
Risk: Lower premium often means lower coverage or higher claim rejection Fix: Compare 5 factors: premium + coverage + CSR + exclusions + service
❌ Mistake 2: Not Reading Fine Print
Risk: Hidden clauses (co-payment, room capping, disease-wise limits) Fix: Read policy wording carefully — especially exclusions section
❌ Mistake 3: Buying Without Comparing
Risk: Missing better plans available Fix: Use compare page — 51+ insurers side-by-side
❌ Mistake 4: Ignoring Claim Settlement Ratio
Risk: Low CSR = higher chance of claim rejection Fix: Choose insurer with CSR > 95% (check IRDAI Annual Report)
❌ Mistake 5: Not Considering Long-Term Needs
Risk: Plan that fits today may not fit in 10 years Fix: Choose plans with lifelong renewal + upgradeable sum insured
