Dear Sandip
Interesting question
Health insurance compensates in case of cost of treatment of diseases as per terms and conditions . Health insurance is an indemnity product and does not allow ypu to make profit . You are compensated towards expenses only .
When you fall sick, ypu spend money on treatment as well as you loose income generation because of hospitalisation or advised rest .
Critical insirance compensates you towards the income liss and pays a sum assured on diagnosis of defined Critical illness . It is a defined benefit and non indemnity product .on occurence of defined event ypu are paid defined sum assured. It has nothing to do with cost or type of treatment.
Hope you understand.
Best wishes
