Maintaining one’s health insurance is as important as buying that cover in the first place. In India, health policies come with lifelong renewability as long as premiums are paid on time. But even a small lapse can dismantle that financial safety net entirely and force families to absorb steep medical bills on their own. The recent regulations allow policyholders to opt for a multi-year health insurance policy spanning three to five years. Consumers have definitely warmed up to this change and show an increasing level of comfort with longer investment into their health insurance.
