What Is Family Health Insurance?
Family health insurance provides coverage for multiple eligible family members under a single policy. In a family floater plan, everyone shares the same sum insured, which can be used for covered medical expenses during the policy year.
For example, if your family has ₹10 lakh in coverage and one member uses ₹6 lakh for an eligible hospitalisation claim, the remaining ₹4 lakh is available for other covered expenses, subject to the policy terms and any applicable restore benefits.
The right plan depends on your family’s ages, healthcare needs and budget. Comparing a family floater with separate policies for senior parents can help you choose suitable coverage for everyone.
