1.) Don’t split the Bill:
- Insurers might nudge you to consider a co-payment clause, in which case, you’ll be forced to foot a part of the bill each time you make a claim.
- This might not be the best option unless you have no choice, or are purchasing for elderly citizens.

2.) Restrictions on room & room rent:
- Some insurers will have a limit on room rent. And if you breach this limit, they’ll make you pay extra for every little service rendered in the room.
- Opt for a policy that doesn’t have too many restrictions on this front.

3.) Check for Disease Wise Sub-limits:
- It’s what happens when the insurer offers you a massive cover for a modest fee, only to include restrictions on coverage for each disease.
- So make sure you check these sub-limits before making a decision.

4.) Opt for pre and post-hospitalization care:

- So it’s best to pick a policy that covers pre & post-hospitalization care.

5.) Seek a Low Waiting Period:

- It’s best to pick a policy where you don’t have to wait a lot.

6.) Coverage for daycare treatments:
- Chemotherapy, dialysis, a quick appendectomy- all these procedures might last less than 24 hours.
- And some insurers might not cover these claims, because they don’t do “daycare treatments”. So make sure you check for daycare coverage!

7.) Ask for restoration benefit:
- What if your insurer restores your cover each time you make a claim. Brilliant right?
- If not every time, maybe at least once? It’s possible with a restoration benefit. You need only ask.
