Before choosing
Check exactly which events are covered, the overall limit, sub-limits and deductibles.
Read what is not covered and when cover begins. Marketing summaries are not the contract.
Review claim notice rules, required evidence, cashless or reimbursement terms and grievance routes.
Keep the proposal form, benefit illustration where applicable, payment receipt and final policy schedule. Never rely only on a verbal promise.
