How to Combine With Employer Insurance for Complete Health Protection

🏢 Why Combine Employer & Personal Health Insurance?

Most corporate health plans have coverage gaps that can leave you financially exposed. By combining employer insurance with a personal policy, you ensure:

✅ Higher overall coverage (₹10L corporate + ₹15L personal = ₹25L)
✅ Broader hospital network (Access both corporate & personal network hospitals)
✅ Continuous protection (No lapse during job transitions)
✅ Tax benefits (Claim deductions for personal policy premiums)

📌 How to Layer Employer & Personal Insurance

1️⃣ Primary-Secondary Strategy

• Employer as Primary: Use corporate insurance first

• Personal as Secondary: Claim remaining bills from your policy

2️⃣ Top-Up Approach

• Treat employer cover as deductible (e.g., ₹5L)

• Use personal super top-up for bills beyond this amount

3️⃣ Condition-Specific Split

• Use employer plan for standard hospitalization

• Use personal policy for critical illnesses
