These 10 mistakes can cost you ₹50,000 to ₹5,00,000 or more.

Bahut kam sum insured chunna

₹2-5L

₹3-5L cover 2026 mein insufficient hai. Metro hospital bills easily cross ₹5-10L.

Room rent limit ignore karna

₹50K-2L

1% room rent cap sabhi expenses pe proportionate deduction karta hai.

Co-pay clause na check karna

₹50K-1L

20% co-pay matlab ₹5L bill pe ₹1L apni jeb se.

PED chhipana

Full claim

Non-disclosure claim rejection ka karan banta hai.

Sirf employer insurance pe depend rehna

₹5-10L

Corporate insurance job badalne/khone pe band ho jata hai.

Super top-up na khareedna

₹10-25L

₹15L base + ₹25L super top-up costs less than ₹40L base.

Waiting periods na padhna

Claim rejection

48 months PED wait? 24 months disease-specific wait? Know before buying.

Renewal date miss karna

Full coverage gap

Lapsed policy = fresh waiting periods + lost NCB.

Network hospitals na check karna

₹2-5L upfront

Agar aapka hospital network mein nahi hai, toh poora bill pehle chukayein.

IRDAI-certified advisor na use karna

Wrong plan choice
