CORONA KAVACH POLICY PREMIUMS COMPARED
Plan is same , but Premiums are different
No one should have to choose between medicine and other necessities. No one should have to use the emergency room every time a child gets sick. And no one should have to live in constant fear that a medical problem will become a financial crisis.

SPECIAL NOTE DATED 27.12.2021 : As the pandemic Covid-19 has spread globally and insurance companies received high claims . Hence many of the insurance companies have recently enhanced the premiums they collect on their various health insurance schemes .
The premiums we have used for comparison are more than one year and they may not be valid now . Hence please check the current charges of the insurance companies before buying .
However on reading the article , you will realize that premiums quoted may widely vary from one insurance company to the other and hence comparing the premium before taking a policy is an important exercise for you .

PREMIUM FOR CORONA KAVACH POLICIES
COMPARE THE PREMIUMS BEFORE BUYING CORONA KAVACH POLICY
24.07.2020 : 30 insurance companies were given permission to launch Corona Kavach Policies . We understand from media reports that premiums for the same policies quoted by different insurance companies are widely different from each other . Some are quoting premium in hundreds while some others are quoting in thousands for the short term policy . As insurance companies also are not having previous experience in handling such policies , initial divergence in premiums quoted are expected . Further insurance companies are yet to come out with transparent premium chart for different amounts and for different aged people .
But some insurance companies have published the premium charts which we have used below to compare for different age groups and to find who is offering the lowest premium . For this comparison , we selected 6 insurance companies who have published their premium charts on the web . Two are public sector general insurance companies , two are private sector general insurance companies and the remaining two are exclusive health insurance companies .
We found that each company has their own age band to quote premiums . Hence we selected quotes for 3 specific ages of 22 years , 42 years and 62 years representing young , middle aged and senior citizens . You can find that the variations are staggeringly different .
For example Universal sompo insurance company quotes just Rs 122 for 3.5 months policy for a cover of Rs 50,000 for a 22 year old person , for the same Manipal Cigna health insurance co quotes Rs 1,242 which is 10 times the premium . You can go through the tables drawn by us for persons of different ages and find how much the premiums vary . If this is the case with 6 companies , think about different premiums quoted by all the insurance companies numbering 29 .
Most of the insurance companies are yet to publish their premiums on their websites . Some require you to furnish your personal information like name , e-mail address and mobile numbers to get a quote from them . But press reports suggest variations in age slabs as well as the premium quoted by insurance companies . Hence one has to get quotes for his particular age by the insurance companies to compare the premium applicable to him / her .
Hence it will be better for you to get quotes from various insurance companies before you finalize the policy from whom you buy . For the websites of all the insurance companies that are permitted , CLICK HERE
We shall be happy to receive feedback on this issue from our readers .
NOTE : The information on premiums quoted below were taken at the launch of the product . Subsequently insurance companies would have altered the premium chart . Hence we advise you to go to the website of insurance companies and get the latest of the quotes for you , compare them and decide .

DO YOU KNOW ?
From a report of Sample Survey Office , it is revealed that 80 percent of Indians , who mainly rely up on private health care , do not have any medical insurance . The government has brought only about 12 % of population under health protection schemes like Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana . In the absence of health insurance , 75 % of Indians use their hard earned savings while 18% have to borrow . In order to escape from financial gloom in the events of medical emergencies , one has to definitely require some form of Health insurance .
