For your healthy solution

The most critical age in the life of a person is his/her childhood, especially the first few years after birth. It is the time when child is not immune to many diseases, and thus has a higher chance of falling prey to many diseases. The child is weak and is unable to fight off disease which causes germs, and thus becomes sick very easily. Many childhood diseases become very dangerous very quickly, and due to the weak immune system of the child, the speed at which the disease develops is very fast.

Many parents worry about their children for this very reason and their worries are not wrong as this is indeed a critical age for children, and therefore they demand high levels of care and attention. Children with some sort of complicated births or who are weak at birth are at a higher risk of falling prey to childhood diseases than normal children and thus demand even more care and attention.

However, this should not worry the parents too much as most children get through their early stages without getting any serious illnesses.

Nevertheless, every parent should always be prepared to deal with any kind of illness and should always be vigilant. Any signs of disease should not be treated lightly, and proper medical examination should be conducted where necessary to get hold of diseases before it become dangerous.  Read more...

When an expert advises to buy health insurance early in age, one of the reasons behind it is to avoid the pre existing illnesses clause.
 
As one grows older there is greater tendency to acquire age related and lifestyle related illnesses. Any such illnesses one has before taking health insurance are not covered by the health insurance policy for a long time. Fact is that many people avoid taking health insurance because they have a pre-existing condition.
 
Pre existing illnesses are the diseases, medical conditions or symptoms of them that exist prior to purchase of health insurance the first time. In most insurance companies there is a long waiting period before these illnesses can be covered under health insurance. The waiting period may vary from 2-5 years depending upon the illness and the insurance company norms.
 
So, if, for example, you have diabetes before you buy health insurance, your hospitalization due to any medical condition arising from your being diabetic will not be covered during the waiting period of pre-existing illnesses.
 
At the time of taking health insurance, it is very important that you disclose any preexisting medical condition or medical facts about you in your knowledge.

If you don’t, it may hamper future claims that may arise. You may be denied claims not just for the pre existing conditions but other illnesses or injuries for deliberately hiding relevant information at the time of taking the policy.  Read more...
