Indian health insurance markets are up with great budding. With only 10% of the people has some form of physical insurance, Indian Insurers have seen only the tip of a gold mine.

The basic reason behind this lack of attention because of four reasons:
  • The availability of cheap health care. Historically, health care costs significantly low in the Indian market. This is because of government control over medical costs.
  • In the early days of kind of illnesses and cures were very limited. Diseases were less and cures were also less.
  • The false belief that the major disease will not happen by itself.
  • Health Insurance premium paid is lost unless there is a claim to it. This is a big negative since the premiums paid are lost.
Here's how the service works:
  • Fill out the form above to request life insurance quotes from local insurers.
  • Hear back from insurance agents in the area, and then compare alternatives.
  • Pick the best policy for you.
The system provides hospital cash benefit and major surgical benefit, together with a ULIP component that are specifically designed to meet domiciliary treatment benefit / out patient department expenses for insured members, says a release.

Surprisingly LIC also got them into this lucrative market. Reports suggest that it is insurable 315 million citizens in this market with an estimated market size of over $ 812 million. The market is projected to reach $ 5 billion in 2010. The main problem in front of the health market is a lack of awareness. Even in the urban market, the awareness about health is very low.

It is not only a lack of awareness about insurance, but also they must have a health insurance strategy. This unsighted eye toward the need for health insurance is rampant in the middle class who really need such a type of Health cover.
