I am working in private company and have corporate health insurance provided by my company but if I resign from job then is it possible to shift corporate health policy into individual health policy with same benefit?

Insurance company -- The new India Assurance Co. Ltd.

 I am an employee of central govt. PSU. My family consists of myself, spouse, two minor children and mother. I am covered by a corporate group medical insurance policy for Rs 2 lakh with an additional emergency coverage of Rs 4 lakh by the employer. I also have a personal Family Floater policy for Rs 3 lakh and a Sr. Ctzn. Policy for Rs 1 lakh. I have not used the personal policies till date for any hospitalisation claim. I am aware that a claim exceeding the corporate policy limit can be claimed in the personal policy. Recently I was made to know that any planned hospitalisation exceeding the corporate claim limit, cannot be done using the second policy. I also know that there is a product called as top up policy which can be used in such cases. I have 8 years of remaining service where there is a medical insurance cover during the period. After retirement, the employer provides a basic policy of 1.5 lakh for the family. The same feels to be insufficient in today’s times. What would be your advice with regards to the existing medical insurance policies and their amounts? Should I need to undertake any tweaking of the policy amounts or switch to a top up policy?

Hello Sir I have a company provided group health insurance , but every year during renewal the TPA(medi assist) remains the same but the insurance company changes, like this year it is Tata Aig , last year it was ICICI Lombard , I have been with the company for last 14 years , now I am planning to start my own business & quit the company , will I get any porting benefit if I go for retail policy .My Age -36.

Hello Sir, first of all thanks for your valuable inputs in this column. Currently my age is 43 & i have corporate insurance policy with cover of 5 lacs . So is it advisable to addon some more additional health insurance cover now or wait till i quit/lose my job ( after next 3-4 years) & than take fresh health insurance. Incase of first case, if i take addon cover of only 1 lac now & than after quitting job at age 46, if i increase health cover to 5 lac, will it anyway help with premiums? I don't have any family/dependent so not planning for term insurance. Thanks in advance.
