Health Insurance sum assured should increase every 2 years – It is a sensible decision |
|
What ever may be the reason seeing the inflation in Health Care at 20% year after year it may be worth while for you to reconsider sum assured which you are have. If you bought the policy in 2005 for Rs. 2 lakhs then your sum assured in 2013 should be Rs.10.32 lakhs, say Rs.10 lakhs |
