Cover.

Health Insurance

Ill health can result in a major halt in your life and work. Moreover, the escalating price of health care costs means that you would be shelling out a massive amount of money to bear the brunt of these costs.

Family Floater Policy – A policy such as the Health Guard Family Floater Option covers family members under a single plan. The fixed sum insured can be availed by individual member or as a sum total for treatment of one person.
