Health insurance can feel complex. Start with who you want to cover, then compare benefits, waiting periods, hospitals, and claim support.

What is health insurance?

Health insurance helps manage hospitalization and medical expenses, but plan selection depends on family members, age, city, sum insured, network hospitals, waiting periods, and claim conditions.
