Family Floater or Individual Health Cover: Which Works Better?

A family floater shares one sum insured across all members. It is usually cheaper than separate individual policies and easier to renew.

Where a floater works well: - Young couples and families with children - When all members are broadly healthy and of similar age band

Where individual cover is better: - When parents are significantly older, since floater pricing follows the eldest member - When one member has a condition likely to consume the entire sum insured

A common middle path is a floater for the immediate family plus a separate senior citizen policy for parents, topped up with a super top-up. We compare both structures side by side before recommending one.
