Why a Person Needs Health Insurance

Health insurance is an insurance, that insures a person's health from health related losses, such as need of a big surgery, medical expenses, diagnosis test and lab fees.

Health insurance protects a person from his health losses, like surgeries expenses, medical expenses, doctors consultation and lab expenses.

It helps a person in the following ways,

1. Provides the Cost of Operations
If an individual needs an emergency surgery, and if the cost of surgery is very much high, the individual cannot accommodate all that amount in a short period of time, therefore it becomes a heavy risk for that individual to pay the cost. If the individual has the insurance, then the individual need not worry about the cost. Because the insurance company bears the cost.

2. To Get Benefits on Medical Expenses
If you need the medicines regularly to cure your disease, you have to pay much money for the medical bills. If you are holding a health insurance policy, you will get some percentage of benefits on your medical bills. That means, the insurance firm bears some amount of your medical bill.

3. To get benefits for complete hospital expenses
With the help of health insurance an individual can recover his complete hospital charges, like diagnosis bills, service charges which are laid down by the hospital management and ambulance charges etc,.

4. To get some tax benefits
Health insurance gives some tax benefits to the individual. A tax benefit which is offered for the health insurance is authorized by the income tax of the country.

Health insurance is a must for every individual, and with all the above benefits, it is a very good choice too.
