Can startups include dependent parents in Group Health Insurance?
Yes, you can customize the policy structure to cover employees along with their dependent parents, spouse, and children. In Bangalore, including parents is highly valued by employees and helps attract top talent.
What is the difference between GMC and personal health insurance?
Group Medical Cover (GMC) is purchased by an employer for employees, offers day-one coverage for pre-existing diseases, and has no waiting periods. However, it terminates immediately if the employee leaves the company. Personal health insurance is owned by the individual and offers guaranteed lifelong renewability.
How is the premium for a Group Health policy calculated?
GMC premiums are based on the demographics of the group (average age of employees and dependents), the chosen sum insured, team size, and selected add-on riders (like maternity limits or room rent upgrades). We negotiate with multiple insurers to optimize this rate.
