Need advice on renewing parents' health insurance
My parents currently have a health insurance policy with ₹10 lakh coverage. The policy has been running continuously for around 4 years.
The premium has increased from around ₹30,000 last year to ₹40,000 this year.
Both my sister and I also have employer-provided health insurance that covers our parents:
My company: ₹5 lakh parental cover
Sister's company: ₹5 lakh parental cover
I also have the option to increase parental coverage under my company policy in April.
So I'm trying to decide whether it makes sense to continue paying ₹40k/year for the personal ₹10 lakh policy, especially since the premium has increased significantly, or whether I should rely on the two employer policies and increase my company coverage in April.
The personal policy has already been running for 4 years, so I'm also concerned about losing the continuity benefits/waiting periods if I stop renewing it.
Would appreciate advice from people who have experience managing health insurance for their parents.
