Buying health insurance for senior citizens

 Buying health insurance for senior citizens: How to lower your premium


The cost of health care services, including hospitalizations, medicines and doctor’s fees, has been soaring since the Covid-19, pandemic, pushing up health insurance premiums too.

It is also posing a challenge before senior citizens who pay a higher premium to get the cover. However, the elderly can bring down their insurance premiums by employing smart strategies.

Higher deductibles option

To begin with, they can explore the higher deductibles option. This measure can help slash premiums by around 10-20 per cent.

Co-payment option

They can also consider the co-payment option, where they will pay 10-50 per cent of treatment costs. So, for instance, if you opt for a 10 per cent co-pay on an Rs 2 lakh hospital bill, you will pay Rs 20,000, while the insure will cover the remainder. Besides these strategies, seniors can combine their base plan with a top-up to avail themselves of extended coverage at relatively lower costs than purchasing a new policy.
