Hey folks, This mail is regarding health insurance for 100 percent visually impaired seeking for health coverage. I am working presently in united india insurance company limited and have recently provided with health cover to blind individuals and families as well. I would also like to suggest a very exclusive product by the new india insurance company limited specially designed for persons with benchmark disability which one can avail for subsidised premium but the only catch is a capping on your annual income as it is designed for economically weaker sections. If anyone wants to cover himself/herself with united india insurance company limited surely i can help. You can contact me on my mobile 9406862456 Cheers Avee Gupta
