One of the most favored private medical insurance policies is the shared care plan. The plan has got several advantages. You can select your own choice package and the benefits that cater to your personal requirements. Another feature of the plan that could be useful is that you can pay a part of the medical expenses yourself and thus reduce the coverage under the plan.

There are however a number of factors that are not covered under the share care plan. If you choose only one of the options you may not be entitled for the out-patient treatment benefits. Sometimes depending on your selection of options, you may also be deprived of the complementary treatment benefits like home nursing, ambulance facilities and the health screens that are available under certain options. The plan may also not cover the critical illness insurance that could be your major requirement after retirement.

Another factor that requires your major attention is the Pre-existing health conditions before you enroll under the share care plan. This may be a real hindrance in your getting benefits and assistance at the time of need. Similarly, if the emergency admissions to nursing homes and subsequent treatments are not covered under the plan the value of the plan itself would be diminished to a large extent. Hence before you use your personal pensions funds in such plan take care to go through the terms and conditions carefully.
