Health insurance aims at covering the actual cost towards treating illnesses/medical conditions subject to the sum assured. There is no life cover, meaning there is no payout on death.
Both life insurance and general insurance accept premiums in exchange for insurance benefits. Insurance premiums are invested into bonds or bond-like investments that produce stable and consistent returns for the insurance company. The investments, plus premium payments, also ensure that the insurance company can pay the promised benefits that are outlined in the insurance policy. When you need to file a claim, both types of insurance require a claim form for you to fill out. The payment of benefits, and the amount of the benefit that is payable, are always spelled out in your insurance contract.
