🔁 Why Renewal and Portability Matter

✳️ Renewal

Health insurance is renewable lifelong, but if you miss your renewal date, you may lose continuous coverage benefits like:

  • Waiting period credits for pre-existing diseases
  • Cumulative bonuses
  • Continued cashless coverage

🔄 Portability

Health insurance portability allows you to shift to another insurer without losing the benefits earned from your previous policy. This includes:

  • Retention of waiting periods
  • Accrued bonuses
  • Better benefits with new insurers

Whether you are renewing or porting, doing it through Quickinsure ensures a faster, error-free process with full support.
