It helps you determine the estimated premium based on age, location, the riders you wish to add, and the sum insured. Once you enter the required information, the calculator displays the premiums for different health plans your insurer offers.

However, it is important to note that the actual pricing may differ slightly due to the inclusion of GST and your provision of further details related to your existing health conditions and lifestyle.

What is health insurance premium?

Health insurance premium is an amount you need to pay to the insurance provider at definite intervals to keep your health insurance policy active.

What factors determine the health insurance premium?

The following factors play a vital role in determining health insurance premiums —

Age And Gender of The Applicant

Age and gender of the applicant

The younger you are, the lower your health insurance premium tends to be. This is because younger individuals often engage in regular exercise to maintain fitness. Additionally, premiums are typically higher for women in their childbearing years than men.

Lifestyle of The Applicant

Lifestyle of the applicant

Leading an active lifestyle and avoiding smoking or alcohol? Not only is the likelihood of developing illnesses reduced, but your health insurance premiums will also be lower.

Pre Existing Health Conditions

Pre-existing health conditions

Do you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or any other chronic diseases before buying coverage? If yes, your premiums may increase due to the likelihood of making multiple claims in a year.

The Type of Policy

The type of policy you opt for

Whether you are buying an individual plan or a family floater policy also impacts the premium. Although a family floater, which offers coverage to multiple individuals, may seem costly, it is more affordable than buying separate coverage for different family members.

Add On Cover

Add-on covers you opt for

Add-ons, also known as riders, cover medical conditions that your standard healthcare plan doesn't but require you to pay additional premiums. For example, you may buy a critical illness rider to deal with life-threatening illnesses that may arise in the future or opt for maternity cover before proceeding with family planning.

Policy Duration

Policy duration

Coverage for a longer tenure attracts a higher premium, but it is a cost-effective alternative compared to the average premium of renewing the policy yearly.

How to reduce health insurance premium?

The following tips could help you decrease your health insurance premium —

Buy policy at a young age

You can enjoy affordable coverage at a young age, as your body is less susceptible to diseases, and the chances of filing a claim are minimal.

Opt for a family floater plan

Buying a single cover that secures multiple members in your family is always a cost-effective alternative to getting a separate cover for each individual. However, since the sum insured is shared among the covered members, opting for a higher coverage amount is recommended.

Go for higher deductibles

Deductibles refer to the portion of medical bills you must pay from your pocket before your insurer starts covering costs. Choosing a higher deductible means lower liability for the insurer, which ultimately reduces your premium but, in contrast, raises your out-of-pocket expense. Therefore, select the deductible amount wisely.

 

Choose add-on covers wisely

Add-ons increase the scope of coverage at an additional premium, but some riders may not be suitable for you. For instance, paying for maternity cover doesn't make sense if you have no plans to have a baby.

Compare and buy online

Compare different plans to ensure that what you are buying is not only cost-effective but also provides optimal coverage. Additionally, purchase your coverage online to avoid commissions paid to intermediaries being added to your premiums.

Opt for multi-year policy

Go for a multi-year plan and rest easy, knowing your wallet won't be affected by any premium hikes.
