Imagine this: it’s a lazy Saturday afternoon, and after waiting, you finally get a full-body health checkup. The doctor measures your height, weight, blood pressure, listens to your heart and lungs, orders tests like cholesterol and blood sugar, and offers advice on reducing risks for diseases like diabetes, heart conditions, and cancer. You get peace of mind knowing your health is in good shape without needing follow-up care—for now.
These full-body checkups usually cost between ₹1,000 and ₹1,500 each time. If you get them done regularly, the expenses add up over the years.
Some health insurance policies offer a valuable benefit by covering the cost of these health checkups—often once every year or every two years. While it’s not a deal-breaker when choosing a policy, having free health checkups included is definitely a nice bonus. It helps you stay on top of your health, catch potential issues early, and save money on routine preventive care.
So, if you’re comparing plans, look out for this feature. It’s a small but meaningful way your insurance can support your well-being beyond just hospitalization and treatment costs. This added perk can enhance the overall value of your health insurance policy and encourage you to maintain regular health monitoring.
