Typically, all insurance companies give customers a grace period of 15 – 30 days after the date of expiry. The customer can use this time to renew the plan and keep the policy running. However, it is important to understand that health insurance is given in return for the premiums paid. In the absence of a premium, the insurer is not obligated to offer you financial protection. Hence, till you renew your plan again, you will not receive any protection or benefits from your health plan. Therefore, it is advised to renew your plan in time and ensure that your plan is always active.
