Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I already have a health insurance from my employer. Do I still need Family Floater?

Yes. Your employer will cover your medical expenses only as long as you are providing him services. But if you change your job, retire or start something of your own venture, your personal health policy would be your shield. Secondly, the extent of cover offered by the employer may be below than what your need. The Family Floater policy will supplement your existing medical policy. Also, Family Floater provides a cover for all the insured family members under a single policy.
