I am sure, I not need to stress the importance of health and a health insurance policy. Health insurance policies are more relevant as one becomes old, as there is a fall in income usually and simultaneously, health care expenses are bound to increase as you age. 
I have compared six health insurance policies here. This is an update of a post that was done a few years back so that we have updated information. The six policies covered are –

• National Insurance Varistha Mediclaim,
• New India Assurance Senior Citizens Mediclaim Policy
• Star Health Insurance Red Carpet Plan
• Bajaj Allianz Silver Age Plan
• Apollo Munich Optima Senior
• ​Max Bupa Heartbeat Individual

You can download an excel sheet with the same comparison here. 
Please note that the analysis is valid for the date it is published. For more details and arriving at a decision, refer the website or prospectus or contact us. This is not an exhaustive comparison as well.
