No, buying health insurance via bank won’t get you all the benefits as bought from an agent.
Benefits.
- Comparatively Low Premium
- No PED Waiting period
Drawbacks.
- No Continuity Guarantee on the plan
- No Portability Benefits from the insurer
- Lack of Post-sale Service
- It could have Maximum age Limit. You might not be eligible for another insurance once it’s done due to your health-conditions in later age.
Never expect bank (the seller) or customer-care people (insurer) to do follow ups or documentations, during reimbursement claims settlements, endorsements or any process delays.
My Suggestion.
Buy it from a consultant with good track record who can compare multiple insurers and get you with the best suitable plan for family. Or from a reliable advisor/agent whom you
