It is very important to make sure insur ances have your back, especially now. Both term and health insurance provide us with financial stability. Term insurance or life insurance covers for the financial backup in case we lose someone close to us to any disease, terminal patient, etc. And health insu rance mainly focuses on support in case of a medical emergency if one doesn’t have the backup or necessary savings.

But not all insu rances cover all diseases and situations. The terms and conditions are not to be neglected. Especially now, one must take that their insurance policy covers COVID-19 treatment or provides financial support in case of loss of life to Coronavirus.

Term insurance-
This insurance is purchased for a limited number of years of months during which any mishap that could cause death or during any terminal disease the deceased’s family members get financial coverage. Different policies are to be bought overtime to keep the insurance valid and also widen the boundary. During COVID-19, it’s important to check whether your insurance covers mishaps due to the Coronavirus.

Health insurance-
Health insurance covers the financial support needed for the rise in medical expenses. It could offer either cashless hospital bills or you could claim the insurance on discharge, after paying the hospital through cash.

In either case, not all diseases are covered in all schemes. Therefore, during the COVID-19 crisis, it’s important to make sure that your health insurance covers the expenses of the lengthy treatment of COVID-19 too.

After deciding the type of insurance one must focus on risks. In world hit with earthquake, forest fire, cyclone, and pandemic in one year, it’s not unnatural for people to seek out insurance companies. In haste, one must not get fooled by the policies and must very thoroughly assess the risk in that particular investment.
