Get medical and health insurance  The main purpose of medical and health insurance (MHI) is to have some, if not all of your medical costs covered if you come down with an illness or injury. The hospitalisation portion of a policy kicks in when you incur costly hospital and treatment bills due to illness, sickness or injury. It usually also pays for consultation fees, surgery, medication and outpatient treatments, but always be sure to look at your policy details as not all insurance policies are the same.  For critical illnesses, such as cancer, stroke and heart attack, the cost of treatment can be pretty hefty, and you are usually unable to get back to work within a short period of time, and may have to dig into your savings to tide you over. If your policy covers critical illness, it pays out a lump sum that can cover some, if not all of medical and living costs.    Having insurance for your medical needs protects your savings from being eaten up by medical costs, ensuring that your financial goals are not interrupted. It also allows you to get the best treatment without having to worry about the cost.  How it works: When you sign up for an insurance policy, you have to pay a premium to the insurance company to service your policy. The premium can be monthly, half-yearly or yearly. Your coverage will depend on your policy and what you sign up for.  Get medical and health insurance  The main purpose of medical and health insurance (MHI) is to have some, if not all of your medical costs covered if you come down with an illness or injury.
