Hello Members,
One of my friend is head of a non-profit org in India and they want to introduce a health insurance policy for the staff.
Can anyone please help with a document detailing the guidelines and policies in this respect.
Thanks in advance.

I remember asking this same question when I first started looking at health insurance seriously: “What basic guidelines should I check before choosing a policy?” On the surface, every plan looks solid, but once you dig deeper, you realise how many small clauses shape the actual experience.
The first thing I learned to check was the room rent limit. I didn’t even realise how much this one line in a policy could impact the final bill. A lower limit can completely change how much you end up paying out of pocket. Then there are sub-limits for things like cataract surgery or specific treatments, which can be surprisingly restrictive.
Another guideline I pay attention to now is the waiting period — especially for pre-existing conditions. Almost all insurers have it, but the duration varies a lot. And of course, the cashless hospital network matters more than people admit. A plan may look great on paper, but if your nearby hospitals aren’t in the network, the claim process becomes a lot more stressful.
What really helped me make sense of everything was when I tried doing a bima analyze health policy review through BimaAnalyze. It didn’t ask me for documents — just basic details — and then gave me a BimaScore along with insights I honestly wouldn’t have figured out on my own. It highlighted things like my insurer’s claim patterns in my pin code and whether my sum insured matched medical costs in my city.
It wasn’t about recommending a plan; it was more like holding up a mirror to my current coverage. That clarity made it easier for me to understand which guidelines actually mattered for my situation instead of blindly following generic advice.
If anything, choosing a policy becomes way simpler once you know what to look for — and why.
