My son is doing BA LLB from Bennett University(a Times of India group organisation). Right now he is in IV year. What he should be doing to remain employble after completing his law graduation as there are 26 lacs lawyers who are in practice and only graduate from NLU'S are preferred for the jobs in law firms or in big corporates.

Ans: Hello;

You may shortlist health insurers based on following factors:

1. Incurred claims settlement ratio for 3 years atleast, preferable if available for 5 years.

2. List of network hospitals across the country and around the places that you generally operate. The more the better.

3. List of black listed hospitals so as to avoid them.

4. Low waiting period for pre-existing illnesses.

5. Claim settlement through TPA or directly the insurer(better). Also cashless claim settlement feature is desirable.

6. Reputation in the market.(Capital adequacy)

7. List of permanent exclusions

8. No sub limit on daily room rent.

9. Alternative therapies covered(Ayurveda, homeopathy etc).

10. Psychiatric treatments coverage.

Key is to disclose all existing conditions and conduct medical tests as requested by the insurer.

This way the chances of claim rejection are reduced.

You may also consult an insurance advisor if required, for further clarity.

Best wishes
