How can one buy the SBI General Arogya Sanjeevani Policy?

Perhaps the easiest way to purchase a Arogya Sanjeevani health insurance policy will be online because the IRDAI has allowed insurance companies to issue the Arogya Sanjeevani electronically to the policyholders. This means that the insurance company can only share a online pdf document as an insurance policy to the insured unlike all other insurance plans currently in the Indian market. The simple process to be followed is:

• Go online to a comparison website like eindiainsurance
• Compare the quotes across all the insurance companies – Importantly since all insurance companies, will be offering exactly the same set of benefits for this plan, the individual can compare the premiums and also review the financial parameters of the insurance company while making a final decision
• Fill up the Arogya Sanjeevani proposal form of the respective insurance company
• Make a payment directly online through the payment gateway and then the policy will get issued by the respective insurance company

Moreover, the IRDAI has also directed all health insurance companies to provide a certificate of insurance to each policyholder for the benefits, terms and conditions of their Arogya Sanjeevani policy.
