Health Insurance article in Advisorkhoj - Top Family Floater Mediclaim plans for 2016
 

In 2015 we had looked at the best family floater Mediclaim Plans, based on Mediclaim ratings by Mint, the leading financial daily. Mint rates Mediclaim or health insurance plans based on a variety of parameters like premiums, benefits and claims settlement track record of the insurer. As we begin 2016, we will take fresh look at the best family floater plans, as per Mint's most recent Mediclaim ratings. While an individual Mediclaim policy covers only the insured, a family floater plan covers the entire family. The cover for the entire family is limited to the sum insured in a family floater plan. A family floater plan provides health insurance to the whole family at a lower cost compared to individual Mediclaim policies. If the average age of the your family members is relatively less and the family members do not suffer from any pre-existing medical conditions, the risk of hospitalization of multiple family members is less and therefore, you can save health insurance cost for your family by opting for a family floater Mediclaim plan (please refer to our article, Which health insurance plan makes more sense: Individual Mediclaim or Family Floater). On the other hand, if a member of your family has a pre-existing medical condition that puts him or her at a higher risk of hospitalization, then you should buy an individual Mediclaim policy for him or her and a family floater policy for the rest of the family. One disadvantage of a family floater plan is that the plan cannot be renewed, once the senior most member of the family reaches the maximum renewability age.

For our selection of the best family floater plans, we have looked at the overall score assigned to each family floater plan by Mint based on the following factors.

  • Pricing or premiums

  • Co-pay requirements

  • No claim bonus

  • Waiting period for pre-existing medical conditions

  • Waiting period for specific diseases

  • Disease wise capping

  • Percentage of claims pending for over 6 months

  • Percentage of claims not settled

We have selected the plans in the top quartile in terms of overall score assigned to the family floater plans by Mint. The table below shows the family floater plans in the top quartile of Mint's ratings, along with the premiums and the incurred claims ratio. Please note that the premiums are applicable to a family where the most senior member is 35 years old for a total sum insured of 20 lacs.

You will note that, in the above table we have deliberately not shown claim settlement ratio as percentage, based on the suggestion of one of our readers. The reader had correctly pointed out that looking at claims settlement ratio as percentage in isolation can be misleading, because an insurance company handling a smaller number of claims can have a good claim settlement ratio. If the same company received a large number of claims, then their claim settlement ratio may not be that good. Readers should look at claims settled versus claims repudiated in relation to the total volume of claims received and then determine the claim settlement efficiency of the insurer.

Conclusion

In this blog, we have discussed the best Mediclaim plans based on the most recent Mint ratings. Health Insurance is a critical aspect of financial planning and should never be ignored. With a plethora of Mediclaim products available in the market, selecting the best Mediclaim plan is often confusing for health insurance buyers. If you are not sure, which product to buy, you should discuss with your financial advisor to help you select the right product. However, you should also educate yourself about Health Insurance, so that you can ensure that you are making the correct choice.

How Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) works?

    THE tax season is here. And if you are an employee you can't blame your employer for deducting large chunks of money from your salary towards tax deducted at source ( TDS ), which he is legally obliged to do. Your bank will also deduct some percentage from your FD interest of Rs 10,000 or more towards TDS! So what is this TDS all about? How is it computed? Are there any changes this year? Read on... What is TDS? TDS reduces your taxable income and could even provide tax relief! The TDS collections account for 40 percent of the total taxes collected in the country. As the name suggests TDS is the amount of tax that is deducted at source in certain types of income . The TDS thus collected is deposited in the Government treasury within a specified time. How is it computed? Some of the types of income where TDS is applicable include salary, interest, rental fee, interest on securities, insurance commission, dividends from shares and UTI/Mutual Funds, commission and brokerage

Modern day balanced mutual fund approach

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   In reality, most balanced funds have a strong tilt towards equity instead of a mix of equity and debt THERE are various types of mutual funds available to investors with specific features. Often investors have a particular idea about a specific type of funds in terms of their features and risks, but that is not what is actually available. Therefore, it is necessary for an investor to understand the actual position before picking up a fund. This requires some work on the part of the investor. One example can be the situation with balanced funds. Name is not representative: One of the first things that an investor has to understand is that the name of the fund is often not representative of its investment pattern. The name often represents only the aim of the fund, and not what it actually is.

Should you invest in tax-free infra bonds?

THOSE looking to save tax should take note of the latest buzz in the debt markets. Power Finance Corporation ( PFC ) and Housing Urban Development Corporation (Hudco) have launched bonds that will help you save more tax than your regular infrastructure bonds. Soon, IRFC and NHAI are likely to follow suit with similar bonds. KP Jeewan, general manager, debt markets, Karvy Stock Broking, says: "The coupon in these bonds are completely tax-free and those in the highest tax bracket can expect an effective yield of 10.75 per cent, compared to the 9.5 per cent a 10-year public sector bond would offer." The PFC and Hudco offerings are of 10- and 15-year tenures, with coupon rates of 7.5 and 7.75 per cent, respectively. Unlike other regular tax-free infra bonds, the tax benefits in these bonds are not capped at ` 20,000. Even besides these tax free bonds, those in the highest tax bracket have had plenty of opportunities to invest in tax saving infrastructure bonds under 80 CCF i
