Some Important Aspects of Hospital Plans and How to Choose Them
by Armstrong Louis HRIn modern,
technologically advanced era human lives are at an increased risk of
life-threatening diseases because of their busy and unhealthy lifestyle.
Because of their carefree attitude to their lives, they are falling prey to
many critical illnesses that require a heart transplant, coronary bypass
surgery, kidney transplant, angioplasty, renal failure treatment or brain
tumour surgery. All these diseases not only bring about mental and physical
devastation but they also cause heavy financial damages to millions of persons
and their families. However, proper medical plan, critical illness plan and hospital plan in countries like
South Africa, UK, and the USA provide you and your family proper financial
support in the times of dire crisis.
Although a healthy
diet and regular exercise help you to keep away some unwanted ailments, there
are other causes like hereditary, accidents etc that can cause severe damages
to your health. For this reason, medical insurance plans, critical illness plan
or hospital plans play a vital role in providing security for you and your
family.
Some of the aspects of hospital plans are discussed
below:
i) A hospital plan
is a bit different from a general medical plan or a critical illness plan. A hospital
insurance plan is a type of health insurance that covers all the services
provided in a hospital including the surgery for a person for serious illnesses
like cancer, coronary artery diseases, heart attack, stroke etc. Hospital
insurance plan can be defined as benefit plans as the payment that they make is
defined and fixed. A medical plan, on the other hand, is a compensation plan
that helps in incurring the expenses.
ii) A hospital plan
works somewhat differently than the other medical insurance plans and critical
illness plans. Unlike most of the medical plans, a hospital plan provides a
total benefit which can be used to pay all the hospital expenses regarding the
ailments.
iii.) It is quite
certain that when it comes to the full coverage and protection, health
insurance plans like Medclaim, Family Floater etc are beneficial for the
security for you and your family’s health. But hospital plans play a vital role
as it can also be added as a rider to your base plan. Thus, it provides two options for you.
Firstly, the base policy continues even after the rider is used and secondly
the policy ends if the hospital plan is used anytime during the period.
iv.) While buying
any medical insurance plan or hospital plan you should think of adding critical
illness plan to it. You can also buy critical illness plan separately for
yourself and your spouse.
