It is priced at \u20b999 (listed as worth \u20b9499) at the time of writing. It saves money in four ways: it catches claim-shrinking clauses (co-pay, room rent limits, sub-limits, consumables exclusions, long waiting periods) before a hospital bill does; it points to cheap fixes like riders instead of expensive new policies; it flags overlaps and add-ons you may be paying for without needing; and it helps you decide whether to renew, upgrade or port before you pay the next premium. A single avoided deduction on one claim can be worth hundreds of times the fee.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><b>The most expensive health policy is the one you don&#8217;t understand<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every year, millions of Indians renew their health insurance the same way: an SMS arrives, a payment link is clicked, and the policy rolls over for another twelve months. Nobody asks whether it&#8217;s still the right policy. After all, it&#8217;s &#8220;working&#8221;, in the sense that nobody has claimed yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then a claim happens, and the policy reveals its personality. A 10% co-pay here. A room rent cap there. A sub-limit on the exact surgery your father needs. A consumables bill the insurer won&#8217;t touch. The premium was paid in full; the claim is paid in part.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s the frustrating bit: almost every one of those surprises was sitting in the policy wording on day one. It just needed someone to read it properly and tell you what to do about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s the job of the Policy Health Check. This blog explains what it looks at, how it saves money (with maths), and when to use it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is the Policy Health Check?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/policycheck.coversure.in\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Policy Health Check<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is CoverSure&#8217;s expert review of your health insurance policy.
