Hello Everyone, I request the community to recommend a health insurance plan which suits our family. Asking this question on behalf of my father.

We had a cover amount of 1 lakh previously with a premium of around Rs 5000 which is set to expire this month-end. It was with The New India Assurance co. Premiums have reached Rs 26000 this year and we cannot afford this.

We are be looking at 1 lakh to 5lakh cover. Preferably lower the better. The selection of the policy would be based on the premium amount because nobody in the family is currently earning. An affordable premium would be better for us. A floater-based cover would do. Plans which have premiums that are from ₹6000 to ₹12000 would be fine.

I(Younger son, 22), plan to get separate Insurance after I start working. I am very new to this subject and my father(59) doesn't have any idea about how to choose a good health insurance plan. I kindly request some part of your valuable time to answer my queries.

Thank you.
