The minimum employees for group health insurance depends on the insurer. However, with Bajaj General Insurance, you can customise your plan. Many group health insurance policies are available starting from a very small team of as many as 7–10 employees. The exact threshold can vary based on employee count, relationship(employees-only vs employees + dependants), location, and mainly the benefits you choose. Bajaj General Insurance offers group health solutions for MSMEs and big companies with flexible eligibility and benefit options. So even if yours is a smaller organisation, you can get meaningful coverage for your employees and their families.

Yes, Group health insurance may cover pre-existing diseases from day 1, but it depends on the employer-selected plan and the insurer’s terms. It is always advisable to check your policy wordings and plan at the time of purchase to have complete clarity. Many MSME group health insurance policies can be structured with reduced or waived waiting periods for pre-existing conditions.To avoid claim surprises, employers should confirm the waiting-period clause, any disease-specific sub-limits, and whether dependants get the same pre-existing coverage. Bajaj General Insurance offers plan options where these features can be customised as per the employers discretion.

Yes, Maternity is often covered under group health insurance, but the choice lies as an optional benefit chosen by the employer. Coverage for maternity in group health insurance plan may include hospitalisation expenses for normal delivery or C-section, along with pre- and post-natal expenses covered, subject to limits and plan terms. Some group plans offer maternity with shorter or even no waiting period compared to individual policies. Other factors like the room rent and other sublimits also change per policy. Bajaj General Insurance allows MSMEs to include maternity cover and set appropriate sub-limits based on workforce needs and benefits decided.

Yes, most employers select group health insurance policies for their employees where dependents are also taken care of. You may be able to add parents, select the required coverage and pay premium to buy policy accordingly. Many group policies primarily cover employees, spouse and children, while parents are offered as an optional add-on with separate limits, premium and eligibility conditions. With Bajaj General Insurance group health for MSMEs, employers can choose parent coverage where available and set suitable sum insured options for the employees.

Yes, most group health insurance policies allow additions during the policy year. Dependents may be added due to marriage or childbirth—subject to the policy rules and timely intimation to the employer and the insurer. The insurer would charge a pro‑rata premium for the remaining policy period, and coverage typically starts from the date the member is added to the policy records. Bajaj General Group Health Insurance plans are very flexible. It supports mid-year additions for MSMEs providing complete coverage to every employee in your team.

When an employee leaves the company, unfortunately, their coverage under the group health policy typically ends on the date of exit (or as per the employer’s removal cycle). Similarly the dependants linked to that employee also stop being covered. However, one can always get in touch with the insurer to get continued benefits for the policy year. Some insurers offer an option to shift to an individual retail policy to avoid a coverage break. Bajaj General Insurance can guide employers and exiting employees on available continuity options. This makes the process smooth and hassle-free.

Yes—when you leave a company, your group health insurance policy ends. This means you and your dependents can be left unprotected. So, you may be able to move from group health insurance to an individual health policy, subject to the insurer’s portability/continuity rules and timelines. Always check out the benefits, premium and waiting periods that change due to the individual plans as its coverage structure changes. To avoid a gap, it’s best to apply soon after exit and keep prior coverage details handy. Bajaj General Insurance can help check eligibility and the process for conversion options.

Yes, you can have both group health insurance and a personal health insurance policy at the same time. In fact, it is advised that you can have an individual policy which offers comprehensive coverage which may be lacking just in case with your group health insurance. Many employees use group cover for day-to-day hospitalisation needs and keep a personal policy for higher sum insured, long-term continuity, and coverage that stays with them irrespective of change in jobs. Moreover, in a claim, you can use one policy first and then claim the remaining eligible expenses from the other, as per the inclusions and exclusions. Bajaj General Insurance offers both group and individual health plans helping you plan better for your finances.

Group health insurance is bought by an employer/organisation for a defined group of members/employees. There is often an option to add dependent family members in the plan. It’s easier to enrol, offers broader features at a lower per-member cost, and can include benefits like reduced waiting periods—because risk is pooled across the group. In the case of Individual health insurance, it is purchased by a person/family. Its perks continue regardless of job changes and allows you to choose long-term cover, add-ons, etc. tailored to your needs. Check out the Bajaj General Insurance plans for both group and individual plans.

Yes, tax benefits may be applicable for health insurance, but they depend on who pays the premium and how the policy is structured. For employers, premiums paid for employees’ group health insurance are generally treated as a business expense, subject to applicable tax rules. For employees, tax benefits are typically available on health insurance premiums they personally pay, but employer-paid group premiums may not always qualify in the same way. Bajaj General Insurance can share premium receipts and documentation needed for tax filing.
