How Much Coverage Do You Need?

Our recommendation based on Bengaluru's healthcare costs

$100,000 coverage is the recommendation for Bengaluru. Here's why. Medical costs plus evacuation add up. Hospital bills are moderate. Serious illness changes that. Extended care accumulates fast. Evacuation is the real risk. Remote areas, mountain adventures, medical evacuation costs explode. They easily pass the $50,000 minimum. $100,000 is safer. Much safer.
