Here are five free resources (two ebooks, two webinars and a policy comparison spreadsheet) to help you choose a suitable health insurance policy.
1. Ebook on Health Insurance by Venkatesh Jayaraman.
Author Bio: I was brought up in Chennai and moved around Bengaluru, Chennai, Mysuru and Pune to cater for my career requirements. But primarily live in Bengaluru and Chennai. Personal finance was my interest even before I started to earn. I found that many youngsters were mismanaging their hard-earned money, and few also had to borrow at the month-end for their food expenses. I used to discuss with them and enlighten them on money management and personal finance.
I then extended this knowledge or advisory to new joiners so that they can plan their finances well from the initial years of their earnings and put compounding to work at an early age of 25. I had been voluntarily doing this over the last few years until my work demanded frequent travel. I started investing in stocks from the peak of January 2008, the right time to have learned many lessons on stock investment directly from the markets.

Disclaimer: The contents of this sheet should be used only as a guideline to select health policies. The features mentioned in your policy document could differ from those in the sheet. Also, the sheet could have some errors as it was manually compiled. If you notice, Lakshminarayanan has made this sheet for his personal situation. You should also do this as insurance is a personalized purchase.
Do not buy any health insurance policy (any policy or product for that matter) without reading and understanding the terms and conditions!
