Elevate Health

My employer provides me with a health insurance. Do I still need one?

Numerous employers offer group or individual health plans. However, these are not customised as per your needs and may have certain restrictions and limitations. Also, the coverage is dependent on the continuation of the job. Once you quit, you cannot avail the health plan benefits. Therefore, it is important to insure yourself with a comprehensive cover that lets you customise as per your needs. For example, for a family of 4 members, a sum insured of ₹2 lakh-₹3 lakh provided by your employer may be inadequate.
