Why Do You Need Mediclaim For Diabetes Patients?

India is the diabetes capital of the world. Poor lifestyle choices, food habits and genetic predisposition have put the health of Indians at risk.

Keep Yourself Safe from Other Lifestyle Diseases

The way of life has quickly transformed, and this has caused a rise in diseases linked to lifestyle. You can ensure financial security with diabetes insurance coverage against costs incurred for treating other such illnesses as hypertension, obesity, osteoporosis, asthma, or heart diseases.

Frequently asked questions

The majority of insurance providers often pay for both types of diabetes therapy. However, you must carefully review the policy as some insurers may only provide Type 2 coverage. The reason is that Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune reaction, and hence many health insurances do not cover it. In contrast, type 2 is a lifestyle disease. The treatment for Type 1 diabetes is costlier than type 2, as it cannot be managed. Type 2 diabetes is manageable to a huge extent by regular insulin treatment as prescribed by medical experts.

You are permitted to buy numerous health insurance for people with diabetes from the same or separate insurance firms. However, while filing a claim, you must notify the other insurance companies of all current policies. People often opt for multiple diabetes Mediclaim policies for a higher insured sum amount. If you fail to notify the other company about the existing policy/policies, claims can be rejected during an emergency. This means that your premiums have ultimately gone to waste.
Yes, diabetes insurance allows the beneficiary to save on tax for medical insurance insuring self, spouse, or dependent parents as a deduction from income before paying the taxes. You may claim tax deductions under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act in relation to the premiums paid. You can get a tax deduction of up to ₹50,000 if the insured individual is over 60 years of age. If the insured person is below the age of 60, you will save ₹25,000 in tax.
An insurance plan specifically designed for diabetes and related disorders is called a diabetes insurance plan. It will cover the costs of related hospitalisation and medical care. Diabetes increases the risk of other diseases like coronary blockage, eye problems, skin diseases, blood pressure issues and so on. Diabetes health insurance might not cover all of these. Still, checking with your insurer and reading the policy documents is always advisable before getting insured under a plan.
Sub-limits are applicable to some procedures and costs, like hospital room fees. A diabetes insurance policy might not have a sub-limit because it already covers a specific ailment. However, some insurances do provide sub-limits with regard to treatments of diseases arising out of diabetes. While the diagnostic and medical costs of such diseases are covered, surgical costs for the same might be excluded from coverage.
The waiting period may vary from one insurance provider to another. While there can be a waiting period of 2 to 3 years if an individual is already suffering from high blood pressure, this period can be as low as 2 to 3 months if there were no symptoms before purchasing the policy. In diabetic specific insurance plans, there is no waiting period to file a claim.
