Life is moving faster than ever. With increasing medical expenses, changing risks, and emerging financial risks, your insurance policies must be on the move.
Just buying a policy once and leaving it behind is not enough anymore. 2025 demands a dynamic, forward-looking strategy for your financial security.
At Pratham Services, we are of the opinion that small smart moves today can save you from big financial worries tomorrow. Here’s your easy-to-follow insurance checklist for 2025, to ensure you and your family stay secure, no matter what comes your way.
Smart Move #1: Review and Upgrade Your Health Insurance
Healthcare expenses in India are increasing by 15–20% every year. A policy that was adequate two years ago may now leave perilous gaps.
Action Steps:
- Redetermine your sum insured based on prevailing treatment rates.
- Ensure zero room rent caps and no esoteric sub-limits.
- Insert critical illness riders if not in place.
- Confirm that your targeted hospitals are on the cashless list.
Pro Tip: Premiums now paid are wiser (and better) than policy renewal at increased rates down the line when the health situation complicates.
Smart Move #2: Reinforce Your Life Insurance Portfolio
Life events; marriage, kids, career development, frequently necessitate a reassessment of your life insurance requirements.
Action Steps:
- Compute whether your existing sum assured is sufficient to cover at least 10–15 times your yearly income.
- Think about purchasing an additional term plan if your company-provided cover does not seem sufficient.
- If you’re approaching age 50, explore policies that include critical illness benefits in addition to life cover.
Pro Tip: Term insurance continues to be the best value method to leave true financial security to your family members.
Smart Move #3: Create a Safety Net with Critical Illness and Personal Accident Covers
Standard health insurance covers hospital bills, but critical illness could spoil your entire household’s finances. Accidents also lead to loss of income overnight.
Action Steps:
- Attach a critical illness rider or purchase an independent critical illness policy.
- Take personal accident insurance to cover disabilities and loss of income.
Pro Tip: These policies are cheap but can be a big financial savior during life-changing incidents.
Smart Move #4: Digitize and Organize Your Insurance Documents
Think about having a medical emergency and being unable to find your insurance policy documents! Digital access can save time, money, and hassle.
Action Steps:
- Keep e-copies of your policies on your phone, laptop, and cloud storage.
- Keep a master document of policy numbers, premium dates, and claim helplines.
- Share access with a trusted relative.
Pro Tip: Documented documents can expedite claims and avoid confusion in times of crisis.
Smart Move #5: Book a Yearly Insurance Check-in with an Expert
Life changes. Your insurance portfolio must as well.
Action Steps:
- Create an annual reminder to check your insurance requirements.
- Discuss life events such as new dependents, mortgages, or retirement plans with your advisor.
- Seek gaps and upgrade policies as such.
Pro Tip: Annual review in advance can prevent expensive surprises down the line.
