Apollo Munich Insure Health

Objective

This is a low cost and instant policy wherein, the time lag between submission of proposal form and policy activation is minimal. It aims at relieving proposer of any tedious procedures involved in buying insurance.

 

Suited for

This policy is suitable for young and single individuals as a starter policy only, if their budget does not allow to buy a more comprehensive one. Self, spouse, dependent children and dependent parents can be covered under this policy on an individual sum insured basis.

 

What does it do?

This is an instant policy wherein the Proposer can fill and submit the proposal form at any of Apollo Munich sales counters. Unlike other policies, there is no time lag between submission of form and policy activation. The policy gets authorized at the point of sale itself.
It covers medical expenses incurred as an inpatient in a hospital. Pre and post hospitalisation expenses are covered with a ceiling imposed on maximum claim amount. It also covers Ayurveda, Unani, Sidha and Homeopathy treatments. Hospitalisation expenses of organ donor and day care procedures which do not require a 24-hour stay in a hospital due to technological advancement are also covered. It must be noted however that co-payment clause applies to all the covered expenses, according to which a policyholder has to pay 15 per cent of each admissible claim and insurance company will pay the remaining.

 

Pros

It covers pre and post hospitalisation expenses as well.
In addition to allopathic treatment, it covers traditional forms of treatments such as Ayurveda, Unani, Sidha and Homeopathy, jointly known as 'Ayush'.
Policyholder enjoys a loyalty discount of 5 per cent at the time of renewal.
Family discount of 10 per cent is applicable if two or more members are insured simultaneously.
Sum Insured enhancement is permitted at subsequent renewal.
Premium paid under this policy qualifies for deduction under section 80D of Income Tax Act.

 

Cons

It does not provide for emergency ambulance.
There is a capping on room rent for each sum insured level.
Pre and post hospitalisation cover is capped too.
Cover for 'Ayush' treatment is capped at certain percentage of sum insured.
There is a co-payment clause where policyholder has to bear a certain percentage of every single claim under the policy.

 

Our View

A low cost policy offering narrow coverage. Most of the benefits are capped to certain percentage of sum insured. It may act as a starter policy for young individuals only if budget restrains to buy a more inclusive policy. Once policyholder feels the need of an enhanced cover, the option to shift to another more comprehensive policy may be exercised. Do not get swayed by low policy premiums as the policy offers lesser features as compared to other health policies. Above all, a co-payment clause of 15 per cent on each claim acts as an impingement.

Royal Sundaram Hospital Cash

Objective

This policy aims to cover expenses that are not not insured by other health insurance policies.

 

Suited for

It can be bought by anyone sufficiently insured under a basic health cover and is looking to cover petty expenses that are beyond the scope of other health plans. The cover is available for self, spouse, dependent parents and dependent children.

 

What does it do?

It has two plans: Silver and Gold. You may select either based on your requirement. Gold variant offers a higher cash allowance.

Pros

Our View

The daily cash benefit can be utilized to pay for medical expenses or other expenses such as travel, accommodation and food of family members. Depending on severity of the situation such as accidental hospitalisation or ICU admission, this policy increases the cash allowance benefit for certain number of days. Buy this policy only if you already have a basic health insurance policy.

Edelweiss Tokio Life Protection

 

Objective

This is a pure risk term plan that offers protection for a fixed tenure. The policy proceeds are paid to the nominees on death of the insured.

What does it do?

This term plan pays sum assured to the nominee in the event of death of the insured. The policy does not pay any maturity benefit on survival. Apart from regular and single premium payment options, there is a limited premium payment option wherein the policyholder can pay premiums for a limited term and enjoy insurance cover throughout the policy term. Surrender is allowed under single pay and limited pay options.

Pros

Policyholders have the choice to pay premiums regularly, as one-time payment or a limited time payment.
The policy gives premium discount to high sum assured policies, non-tobacco users and females.
It provides coverage for higher age of up to 70 years.
The policy can be surrendered in case of an emergency.
Premiums paid towards this policy qualify for taxation benefits.

Cons

Minimum sum assured of Rs 15 lakh can limit the policy to those looking for a high cover.
If one chooses to pay the premium throughout the policy term via the regular mode, the payments can only be made annually, and not semi- annually, quarterly or monthly.
The policy doesn't offer any riders.

Suited for

The policy is suitable for anyone looking for a term plan with more than Rs 15 lakh cover.

Our View

This policy can be taken if you need a insurance cover and prefer to buy the policy with agent's assistance. It does not provide any riders. Limited premium payment mode can be useful to those unsure of regular income inflow after a few years, or those who fear faltering in paying regular premiums.
