Why we picked it This is the exact playbook for the moment your employer cover vanishes: it sizes a family floater at 10 to 25 lakh plus a super top-up, spells out that pre-existing waiting periods run up to 36 months by regulation (which is why you buy while still employed and healthy), and gives a 10-point selection checklist built for someone with no corporate backup. Written by advisors who sell no policy of their own.

- Anchor on a 10 to 25 lakh base floater and layer a super top-up for the rare big claim, rather than one giant expensive base
- Pre-existing-disease waiting periods run up to 36 months by regulation, so the earlier and healthier you buy, the sooner you are actually covered
- A self-employed founder should weigh no room-rent cap, unlimited restoration, and a strong pan-India cashless network, because there is no HR desk to fix a rejected claim
