What is the Difference Between Health Insurance and a mediclaim Policy?

Health insurance and a mediclaim policy are two different types of health insurance policies that can help individuals manage their healthcare costs. While both provide financial protection against medical expenses, there are some key differences between the two.

Health insurance is a broader form of coverage that typically includes a wider range of benefits than a mediclaim policy. Health insurance plans may cover not only hospitalization expenses, but also outpatient care, prescription drugs, preventive care, and other healthcare services. Health insurance plans may also offer more flexibility in terms of choosing healthcare providers and accessing care.

On the other hand, a mediclaim policy is a more specific type of health insurance that covers hospitalization expenses only. These policies are often more affordable than comprehensive health insurance plans but may offer less coverage. A mediclaim policy typically covers expenses related to room and board, doctor fees, nursing fees, surgical fees, and other hospitalization expenses.
