An individual insured can cover himself / herself along with family members such as spouse, dependent children, dependent parents, dependent parents in law, dependent siblings etc. Some insurers do not have a restriction on the dependents who can be covered. It is possible to cover each of such dependent insureds under a single policy with a separate sum insured chosen for each insured person.
In such covers, each person insured under the policy can claim upto the maximum amount of his sum insured during the currency of the policy. Premium will be charged for each individual insured according to his age and sum insured chosen and any other rating factor.
