Read the policy of the company and details carefully to know what it does not cover, what it limits, and what else you need to do and pay attention to any rules about health problems you already have, things it does not cover for certain activities, or large amounts you have to pay before it covers you that may change your claims.

Do not make your decision only through the price, compare the benefits and protection that each policy offers and choose the one that suits your situation.
