Bajaj Allianz Health Guard- Individual

Objective

This is an online health insurance policy and aims to provide for medical expenses incurred if the insured person gets hospitalized. It covers pre and post hospitalisation expenses as well. USP of the policy is that it covers Lasik eye surgery after a waiting period of four years. It comes along with a voluntary deductible option that gives a pre-specified discount on premium.

 

Suited for

This policy is suitable for anyone who wants to insure against hospitalisation cost.

 

What does it do?

Though this policy facilitates both, cashless claim settlement for treatment in empanelled hospital and reimbursement of medical expenses incurred during treatment in a non-empanelled hospital, availing reimbursement facility should be avoided as there is a co-payment clause where 10 per cent of each claim has to be paid by the insured person. In this case insurance company will be liable to pay only 90 per cent of admissible claim. To get rid off this clause, you need to shell out an additional premium.
It covers all relevant medical expenses where insured is admitted in a hospital for more than 24 hours. Apart from this, the policy covers 130 day care treatment which takes less than 24 hours to complete the treatment procedure due to technological advancement which would otherwise require admission to hospital. Emergency ambulance charges are also covered. It gives an advantage to policyholders covered for sum insured of Rs 5 lakh and above where, in case of critical illness, policyholder may ask for a second opinion from any doctor empanelled with insurance company. Health check up at the end of four continuous claim-free years are also done.
Besides these, there is a voluntary Deductible option where if policyholder agrees to bear a certain initial amount of each admissible claim, insurance company offers him a discount on premium.

 

Pros

It covers lasik eye surgery after a waiting period of four years.
No sub-limits on room rent and boarding.
Second opinion in case of critical illness is an useful option.
The policy gives a discount if two or more family members are covered under the same policy.
Discount on premium is available if opted for a deductible.
It gives a special bonus of 5 per cent for each claim-free year upto maximum of 50 per cent.
It covers pre and post hospitalisation expenses.
This policy can be purchased online.
Premiums paid under this policy qualify for deduction under section 80D of Income Tax Act.

 

Cons

Co-payment clause of 10 per cent in case treatment is taken in a non-network hospital.
Co-payment clause where any insured person above 55 years of age has to bear 20 per cent of medical bills each time medical services are accessed.
In case, bonus has been passed and a claim arises during that year, bonus would be reduced by 10 per cent in the subsequent year.

 

Our View

This is a decent policy that covers hospitalisation expenses of insured. A unique benefit is that it covers lasik eye surgery though after a waiting period of four years. As far as top up option in this policy is concerned, do not go for it. The simple reason is because the deductible limit applies to each claim amount.

Religare Health Insurance Care

Objective

This policy can be bought online and aims at providing adequate medical insurance even after the initial sum insured is exhausted. It restores the sum insured if exhausted by a family member's claim. The reinstated sum can be used subject to certain conditions.

 

Suited for

Being a sum insured reinstatement policy, though available to individuals, it is more beneficial as a family floater cover. Even if an elderly insured member avails the sum insured, other members will not be deprived of insurance benefit, in the hour of need. It can cover up to six family members in a single policy.

 

What does it do?

Religare Health Insurance Care is a unique policy among its peers as it can reinstate the sum insured, if depleted in a policy year. The restored sum insured, however, cannot be utilized for treatment of illness(es) for which the claim was made in the policy year.
Any remaining restored sum insured at the end of a policy year cannot be carried forward to the next year.
Another exclusive offer is Care Anywhere benefit that allows to avail treatment for specific critical illnesses anywhere in the world.
This policy is a comprehensive package of inpatient treatment that covers hospitalisation expenses with sub-limits on room rent and ICU charges. It covers other incidental expenses like ambulance cost, daily cash allowance and organ donor hospitalisation expenses in case of organ transplantation.
Apart from hospitalisation expenses, it provides for domiciliary hospitalisation, i.e. treatment taken at home on advice of a doctor. Second opinion from a medical consultant on company's panel is available if one is diagnosed with stated critical illness.

 

Pros

It offers Automatic Policy Recharge at no extra premium if initial sum insured gets depleted .
It allows to avail treatment anywhere in the world for certain diseases. It offers sum insured up to Rs 60 lakh and allows lifelong policy renewal.
This policy can be bought online and provides a premium discount on selecting a higher policy term.
It also offers a family discount and premiums paid towards this policy enjoy a tax benefit under Section 80D.

 

Cons

Restored sum insured cannot be used for treatment of the illness for which a claim has already been made.

 

Our View

This is a recommended family floater policy. It provides wide and extended coverage at reasonable rates. The policy can take care of insurance needs of all members by restoring the insurance benefits. If the need arises, it can also provide for treatment of certain chronic diseases, anywhere in the world.
