United India Health- Family Medicare Policy

Objective

This policy aims to cover all family members under a single policy and reduce multiple policy handling costs and efforts.

 

Suited for

This policy is suitable if you are looking for a single policy to cover your family.

 

What does it do?

It works like any other floater health insurance policy that provides medical expenses incurred in treating a covered ailment. A floater cover is beneficial as any insured family member can use the cover if need arises, up to maximum of the sum insured. The policy also pays a daily cash benefit of Rs 250 or 500 on paying extra premium. Daily cash allowance can be used to pay for any other daily expenses which are not covered under the policy.

 

Pros

This policy can be bought online through company's website and premium paid is eligible for tax benefit under section 80D of the Income Tax Act.

 

Cons

There are sub-limits on room rent, boarding and ICU charges.
A 10 per cent deductible is applicable on all admissible claims for persons above 60 years of age. Deductible is the amount that the insured will have to shell out of his pocket before the insurance company pays the claim.

 

Our View

This family floater gives a basic coverage for hospitalisation expenses along with sub-limits on certain benefits. However, it is fairly priced for the benefits offered. A policy without any sub-limits is preferred over policies containing limits. So, if your budget allows, consider other policies without sub-limits.

Star Health Super Surplus Insurance Plan

Objective

This is a top-up policy that aims to protect policyholders from higher claims in a cost efficient manner.

 

Suited for

This policy is suitable for those who are covered under employer's insurance policy. It can be bought as an extension to your existing policy to provide higher protection. It is also worthy for older people when the chances of higher claims are more.

 

What does it do?

This policy works as a top-up on your existing insurance cover to pay for expenses which could go beyond your existing cover. It can be bought as a supplementary policy to pay for higher claims. This policy will not get triggered until your expenses cross the deductible. Deductible is the limit which has to paid by your existing policy or out of your pocket if uninsured. Deductible applies on a per-claim basis. For an instance, if the policyholder has a top-up cover with a threshold of Rs 3 lakh and gets hospitalized twice in a year with bills of Rs 2.5 lakh and Rs 2 lakh respectively, the top-up plan will not be triggered. This policy will activate only if the single hospitalisation bill exceeds the threshold mark.

 

Pros

This policy can be bought online.
Premium paid towards this policy qualifies for deduction under section 80D of Income Tax Act.

 

Cons

The policy does not allow lifelong renewal.
Deductible applies on per-claim basis.

 

Our View

This policy is good for those who foresee bigger responsibilities and thus wish to increase their health cover. Sharing costs through a top-up policy is useful as it provides higher cover at comparatively low rates. Deductible on per-claim basis is a drawback. Nonetheless, this policy is suitable for the elderly as they are more likely to risk of high medical bills.

Bajaj Allianz Critical illness for Women

Objective

A special health insurance policy specially designed to cover eight critical illnesses related to women.

 

Suited for

Any female in 21-55 age group can buy this policy.

 

What does it do?

This policy offers a twofold protection. First, it covers and pays a lump sum amount on confirmed diagnosis of any of the eight specified critical illnesses, provided the insured survives for 30 days after the diagnosis. On admission of claim following a critical illness, it also pays an additional amount restricted to Rs 25,000 for future education of insured's children. Just in case the insured woman loses her job due to the illness, this policy pays an additional sum of Rs 25,000.
Second, it pays 50 per cent of sum insured in case the child conceived and delivered during the policy period is born with some congenital diseases, only if the child survives for 30 days.

 

Pros

Apart from cover for insured person, this policy disburses policy benefit in case a child is born with congenital disorders as well.

 

Cons

Policy benefits will be paid only if insured member survives for at least a month after diagnosis of illness.
Children education fund and job loss compensation amount may not suffice considering current inflationary scenario.
Maximum available sum insured is Rs 2 lakhs only.

 

Our View

There is no unique offer as such. One should not take this cover only because it covers congenital disorders. This benefit is accompanied with lots of conditions and survival period clause. Supplementary benefits like children education fund and job loss compensation, most probably would not be sufficient to meet the respective expenses. It is thus advisable to buy a general critical illness plan instead of this policy as the former provides a wider coverage at comparatively lower price.

Policy Termination
