Common Renewal Issues and Solutions

Re-evaluating needs – Always renew your insurance after re-evaluating your current healthcare needs. If you think your healthcare requirements have increased with age and with added family members under the policy, you may opt for a high sum insured while renewing your policy. Similarly, you may decrease the amount if you think you don’t need any add-on from the previous year at the time of renewal. 

Premium amount - There has been a huge rise in healthcare expenses over the years. With the increasing rate of medical facilities, the premium prices are also likely to go up. If you want to limit the rise in the premium amount, you may look for a change in policy at the time of renewal or may remove or alter add-on riders under the policy.     

Renewal date – Keeping a tab on the policy renewal date is also crucial so that you do not forget the date of expiration and miss the grace period. If that happens and you do not renew your policy during the grace period, you may lose all the benefits earned during the policy term.
