Non-renewal of your insurance policy can come with several disadvantages, some of the main reasons are listed below:

• Loss of Health Coverage: The primary disadvantage of not renewing your health insurance policy is the loss of your health coverage. In this case, even if you had paid the proper premium and renewed it in previous years, if you have not renewed the policy once, your health coverage immediately expires.
• Waiting Period: Your waiting period gets impacted in case you have not renewed your policy and begins from zero. This takes away the following: immediate accident cover, seasonal or initial waiting period, slow-growing or specific illness waiting period, and pre-existing disease waiting period.
• Reapplication Process: Reapplication process can be both financially and mentally exhausting because now all your benefits will be revoked. Reapplication can also be time-consuming.
• Financial Burden: With no policy coverage to support you, there can be unforeseen financial burdens on you and your family in times of emergency. To avoid such situations, it is essential to renew your policy.

Here are some factors to consider before you renew your ManipalCigna Health Insurance Policy:

• Waiting Period: Your waiting period is going to be extremely important while you consider renewing your policy. Make sure you check the waiting period specifically for slow-growing illnesses and pre-existing diseases.
• Policy Details Verification: Make sure you review the essentials of your policy document like the sum insured, exclusions, and inclusions. The aim should be to focus on matching your health requirements with your coverage.
• No Claim Bonus (NCB): You can enhance your policy by getting a no-claim bonus. Make sure to check for the status of your no-claim bonus amount in case you have not made any claims in the previous policy year.

Demystifying some myths about policy renewal:

Myth 1: Renewal of my health insurance policy will lead to an increase in my premium payment

Reality: Renewing your policy does not increase your premium payment. The premium amount remains the same as it was when you purchased the policy. The premium amount changes only when you upgrade your policy or make any modification to it like adding riders or add-ons.

Myth 2: My No Claim Bonus of last year will vanish if I renew my policy

Reality: In case you renew your policy, your No Claim Bonus will not vanish. Your no-claim bonus is the benefit you get when you do not make any claim during a policy year, when you renew your policy, your previous no-claim bonus also gets carried forward. Note, that the no-claim bonus can be a maximum of 100% of your sum insured.
