What it does not do
- It does not give a health premium for any plan. Each insurer files its own rates by age, zone, sum insured and family.
- It does not compare insurers or say which plan to buy.
- It does not run a portability request. That goes through the insurers and the Insurance Information Bureau.

Common questions
Can it hold a family floater?
Yes. One policy, with its members picked from the client's family, and sum insured and cumulative bonus on the policy.
Does it work out grace for health policies?
Yes. 15 days on monthly instalments, 30 days on others, from the IRDAI health master circular of 29-05-2024.
Does it show health premium quotes?
No. It holds the premium you copy from the insurer. Premiums are the insurer's to set.
