- Design of the Flexi Plans by different insurers vary and hence, it is more difficult to compare the premiums directly.
- Similar to general medical insurance, the premium of VHIS is determined by the insured’s age, smoking habits, and health condition, then a premium levy is added at the end.
- Insurers usually take Medical inflation, health condition of the risk pool, and the age of the insured into consideration to determine the premium increase at time of renewal.
