Health insurance is a form of insurance which covers the medical costs incurred in case of medical emergencies. These plans, thus, take care of the financial burden associated with medical contingencies. In today’s age, when illnesses and diseases are on the rise, a health insurance plan becomes necessary. Though medical developments have provided a cure for most of the illnesses, such cures and treatments come at very expensive costs. These costs become unbearable for the common middle-class man. A health plan, by covering these costs, takes off the financial strain caused by frequently occurring illnesses. It, therefore, proves to be an essential requirement for every individual looking to secure his finances against medical contingencies.

Health insurance claims are of two kinds –

1. Cashless claims
2. Reimbursement claims

In cashless claims, the insurance company settles the medical bills directly with the hospital. The policyholder does not have to pay for any medical costs himself. Cashless claim settlement can be availed if the policyholder chooses to get admitted to a hospital which is tied-up with the insurance company.

In case of reimbursement claims, the medical expenses are to be borne by the policyholder initially. Thereafter, when the insured is discharged from the hospital, the claim is submitted to the insurance company with all the relevant bills and medical documents. The company analyses the claims and then reimburses the policyholder for the medical expenses incurred. Reimbursement claims are applicable if the policyholder does not choose a networked hospital for treatments.
