Chola MS Individual Health

Objective

A basic health insurance policy that provides for hospitalisation expenses along with a choice to avail extra cover by paying additional premium.

 

Suited for

Any individual upto 55 years can buy this policy. It also covers dependent parents upto 65 years of age.

 

What does it do?

Besides hospitalisation expenses, it covers pre and post hospitalisation expenses and ambulance charges to carry patient to and from hospital. Some illnesses do not require an overnight stay in hospital. 141 such treatments known as day care procedures also fall under its ambit. Other supplementary benefits such as health check-up, eye examination and daily cash allowance to meet incidental expenses in case of hospitalisation are also available for an additional premium.

 

Pros

There are no sub-limits under hospitalisation benefit.
It pays a no-claim bonus on an annual basis.
It offers a protection as high as Rs 10 lakh.
Policy premium qualifies for taxation benefit under section 80D of Income Tax Act.

 

Cons

In event of claim, cumulative bonus will be reduced by 10 per cent during subsequent year.

 

Our View

Being a basic health insurance policy, it only covers hospitalisation medical expenses. Look for another policy if you want cover for risks such as personal accident, critical illness, and other treatments such as domiciliary treatment.
A major drawback is that this policy can be renewed only up to 69 years of age. When policyholder outlives the maximum policy renewal term, he will have to purchase a new policy which could be a herculean task as no insurer wants to insure a high risk life.

Bajaj Allianz Health Ensure

Objective

An online health insurance policy which is aimed at including low segment individuals under the umbrella of insurance. The objective of this policy is to indemnify against expenses during hospitalisation caused due to illness or an accident.

Suited for

This is a low cost, low benefits policy suited for a low-income individual who wish to mitigate some part of, if not whole, medical expenses at a time of health urgency.

What does it do?

This policy sticks to providing a very basic cover against inpatient hospitalisation. Like any traditional health policy it covers all general expenses incurred during admission to hospital. Emergency ambulance to transfer patient from home or accidental site to hospital and back from hospital to home is also provided. Apart from inpatient treatment, it covers specific 130 such procedures not requiring a 24-hour hospitalisation due to technological upgradation. A free health check up can be availed at the end of four continuous claim-free years.

Pros

Family discount of 5 per cent is available.
Premium paid towards this policy is eligible for tax benefit under section 80D of Income Tax Act.

Cons

The policy offers a maximum cover of Rs 1 lakh only.
All benefits have a ceiling limit which means any expense beyond that limit will be denied.

Our View

This policy is specially meant for low income segment. It is low on premium and offers a stingy coverage. Though it may not be sufficient to cover all hospitalisation expenses, it can share a part of the losses.
In view of rising medical expenses now a days, everyone must have at least a basic health insurance policy plus a cover for chronic diseases. The cover can be stretched to include out patient treatments and other day to day expenses at time of hospitalisation. There are far more comprehensive policies available in the market which provide a broad and better immunity to medical costs. This policy is thus not recommended for those who can afford a better one as the cover may not suffice. Moreover, each expense is capped to sum insured which is another limitation.

Tata AIA Life Plus Plan

Objective

This term insurance policy aims to protect family members from financial distress in the event of death of the insured member.

What does it do?

This is a return-of-premium policy that can pay the sum assured in case of untimely death of the insured, or refund premiums at maturity.
The policy offers surrender value at 30 per cent of basic premiums paid excluding first year premiums, provided the premiums were regularly paid for three consecutive years.
It also offers optional accidental death and dismemberment short scale rider for extra protection.
In case the policyholder is unable to pay premium within grace period, insurance company advances an automatic loan to policyholder to pay the due premiums. However, this facility is provided only if your policy has acquired a cash value which is more than the premiums due.

Pros

A lapsed policy can be reinstated within 5 years.
Accidental death and dismemberment rider enhances insurance cover.
Premium due can be advanced as loan if policyholder is unable to make payment.
There is no limit on maximum sum assured.
Premiums paid toward the policy qualify for tax benefit under section 80C of Income Tax Act.

Cons

There is only one policy term of 20 years, which may not suit everyone.

Suited for

It is suitable for those who specifically require a policy for 20 years.

Our View

You should be covered until you have to support a family or someone else replaces you as breadwinner. The 20-year policy tenure may not fulfil this criteria for everyone.
Being a refund-of-premium policy, the plan factors in the benefit cost and charges high premiums. We recommend a pure term plan for policy term till you have dependents.
