A single hospitalisation is one of the commonest reasons rural families sell land or take a loan at a punishing rate. Health cover is cheap by comparison — and almost always bought badly, because the things that decide whether a claim pays are buried in clauses nobody reads at the counter.
We will walk you through the three that matter most: the room-rent limit, the waiting period for existing conditions, and the sub-limits on specific treatments.

Health Insurance — common questions
What is a room-rent limit and why does it matter so much?
Many cheaper policies cap the room rent they will pay per day. If you take a costlier room, the insurer can scale down the ENTIRE claim proportionally — surgery, doctor fees, everything — not just the room charge. It is the single most common reason a claim pays far less than expected.
Are existing illnesses covered?
Only after a waiting period, typically two to four years depending on the insurer and condition. Declare every existing condition honestly at proposal stage. Hiding one does not save you money — it gives the insurer clean grounds to reject the claim you eventually make.
Is a family floater cheaper than separate policies?
Usually yes, because it shares one sum insured across the family. The risk is that one serious illness can exhaust the whole cover for everybody that year. For a family with an elderly member, a separate policy for that person often works out safer.
