👉 Family Floater lo ya Individual policy?
2026 me medical cost badhne ke baad sahi choice karna aur bhi important ho gaya hai.
Is guide me hum dono options ko simple examples ke saath compare karenge.
🔹 Family Floater Policy Kya Hoti Hai?
Family floater me:
Ek single sum insured hota hai
Poora family usi amount ko share karta hai
📌 Example:
₹10 lakh floater
Family of 4
👉 Kisi bhi member ko ₹10 lakh tak cover mil sakta hai
👉 Lekin total limit ₹10 lakh hi rahega
🔹 Individual Health Insurance Policy Kya Hoti Hai?
Individual policy me:
Har member ka separate sum insured hota hai
📌 Example:
4 members
₹5 lakh each
👉 Total protection = ₹20 lakh
👉 Har member ka alag limit

❌ Family Floater Kab Risky Ho Sakta Hai?
❌ Agar 2 members ek hi saal me hospitalize ho jaye
❌ Agar parents (55+) include kare
❌ Lifestyle disease ho
❌ Metro city me rehte ho
👴 Parents Ke Case Me Kya Kare?
2026 me best strategy:
✔ Parents ke liye separate individual policy
✔ Young family ke liye floater
Kyunki parents ke claims zyada frequent hote hain, floater limit jaldi exhaust ho sakti hai.

Recommended Setup:
✔ Family Floater ₹10–15 lakh
✔ Parents individual ₹5–10 lakh
✔ Super Top-Up ₹20 lakh
