Dear all,
I am excited to present my project, which is a comprehensive analysis based on the book "What Every Indian Must Know Before Investing" by Vinod. The main focus of my presentation revolves around health insurance. Through an in-depth study of the book, I gained valuable insights into the structure of health insurance and the essential factors that investors must consider to identify the most suitable options from the wide array of insurance available.
Drawing from my understanding, I have carefully curated the most crucial points and endeavored to present the content in a simplified and easily understandable manner. It is important to note that I have omitted the tax benefits sections for now, but I may incorporate them at a later stage.
I genuinely hope that this presentation, along with the book, proves to be as helpful to you as it was to me in navigating the complexities of health insurance as an investor.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.
The document defines health insurance as a contract between an insurance provider and an individual or organization that covers medical expenses.

General Insurance refers to non-life insurance that covers risks other than death, such as home, auto, commercial risks. It is also called property and casualty insurance. General insurance policies are formed through an offer and acceptance process, where the insured pays a premium in exchange for the insurer's promise to provide indemnity. Common types of general insurance include health, liability, motor, marine, and property insurance. Health insurance covers medical costs, while liability insurance covers legal responsibilities. Motor insurance covers car risks, and marine insurance covers shipments. Property insurance protects homes and possessions.

A step by step guide to critical illnessKelly Shultis
Critical illness insurance provides a lump sum payment if the policyholder is diagnosed with a specified critical illness. It can help cover costs if the person is unable to work due to a serious illness like cancer, stroke, or heart attack. The payment is made as long as the policyholder survives more than a month after diagnosis. Policies vary by insurer but typically cover around 30 illnesses and can be purchased through an insurer or advisor. The cost of coverage depends on factors like age, health, smoking status, and amount of coverage. Claims require medical evidence and meeting the insurer's criteria for the illness.

Types of Insurance.ppt in insurance mgmtShitalVyas3
Life insurance provides protection against death and critical illness by paying a death benefit to beneficiaries. It has longer terms than general insurance and requires more complex underwriting that may involve medical exams. In contrast, general insurance covers non-life assets and events through shorter-term annual policies, with underwriting focused on risk assessment of particular assets or events. While life insurance claims typically only require a death certificate, general insurance claims involve more documentation and investigation, and have longer processing times.
Future Advantage Top-Up - Give Your Health Insurance A Backup Plan From Futur...ColinGenerali
Future Advantage Top-Up is a deductible health insurance plan with high Sum Insured options to provide extra coverage at low premium as compared to any traditional health insurance plan.
Health insurance policies provide coverage for medical expenses incurred during hospitalization. They typically cover costs associated with room and board, nursing care, surgeon fees, and other medical costs, up to the specified sum insured. Insurance companies have networks of hospitals where policyholders can receive cashless treatment and the insurance company will directly pay the hospital bills. Common types of health insurance in India include employer-provided plans, government schemes like ESI and CGHS, community-based and rural health insurance, and individual and family floater policies.
- International medical insurance plans provide health coverage for people living outside their home country. They allow treatment in any country and cover policyholders who frequently move between countries.
- Plans typically last for one year and are renewable. They cover both inpatient and outpatient treatment, including medical costs and evacuation. Travel insurance only covers short periods of up to 6 months.
- Most plans have no maximum age but coverage depends on the insurance company, usually up to age 80. Plans cover citizens of any country living abroad and Americans living outside the US. Pre-existing conditions may not be covered for 2 years.
US healthcare insurance can be public (e.g. Medicare, Medicaid) or private (employer or self-purchased plans). Medicare has parts A, B, C, and D that cover different services like hospitals (Part A) and prescription drugs (Part D). Plans may require premiums, deductibles, co-payments, or co-insurance. They often have limits and do not cover all costs. Private insurers provide additional plans like PPOs, HMOs, or Medicare Advantage plans combining Part A, B, and D benefits. SCHIP provides coverage for children from families that do not qualify for Medicaid.
Terminally ill individuals facing high medical costs and reduced income have some options to reduce financial concerns from their life insurance policies. These include borrowing against the cash value, surrendering the policy for its current value, borrowing from third parties, or accessing accelerated death benefits that pay out a portion of the policy while still alive and tax-free. Another option is a viatical settlement where the policy is sold to an investor for a percentage of its face value, providing cash to the policy owner during their lifetime. Several factors determine the percentage payout offered in a viatical settlement.

Personal Accident Policy claim can be made for any of the following reasons:
As per IRDA “an accident is defined as a sudden, unforeseen, involuntary event caused by
external and visible means”
Personal Accident Insurance policy provides complete financial protection to the insured
members against uncertainties such as accidental death, accidental bodily injuries, and
partial/total disabilities, permanent as well as temporary disabilities resulting from an
accident. In the case of accidental death of the policyholder, the nominee gets 100%
compensation from the insurer. There are various other compensations that are offered for
accidental disability such as loss of eyes, limbs, and speech. ~ Policybazaar
*The insured can use the money received to meet their financial obligations or invest the money
to receive a steady income over a period of their disability.
*The premiums for personal accidental policy are comparatively low.
Death due to an accident -
Total permanent disability -
Permanent partial disability -
Temporary total disability -
100% of the insured amount is paid as per policy

if the insured is partially disabled, the policy pays a percentage of the sum assured to the
insured. The amount may be paid as a lumpsum (50% of the sum assured) or in parts (1% of
the sum assured over 100 weeks) and so o
If the insured is disabled temporarily due to an accident, the policy will pay a certain part
of the cover to the insured.

businesspersons as it compensates for the loss of income incurred during the time the
