Health Assurance
Choose a listed critical-illness lump sum, accident cover and daily hospital cash as fixed benefits you can combine, with hospital cash paid for each day in hospital up to 45 days a year.
What Makes It Special:
Health Assurance is a Niva Bupa family plan made up of three separate covers. CritiCare pays a lump sum for listed critical illnesses. HospiCash pays a fixed daily cash amount during hospitalisation. AccidentCare pays for accidental death, permanent disability and temporary disability.

Parents who want child education benefits paid on an accidental death or permanent disability of the proposer
Working adults who want accident death, disability and income-loss cover
Buyers who want daily cash to cover incidental costs during a hospital stay
Families who want a lump sum if a listed critical illness is diagnosed
VS
Advantage

Best For:
Nationwide cashless treatment network
High sum insured with flexible add-ons

Quick Decision Guide
The sum insured for AccidentCare and TTD is linked to annual income, so check the limits against your income.
Only 2 adults can be covered under a CritiCare family option, so check this before buying for a larger family.
AccidentCare has no waiting period, but it is available only to Risk Class 1 and 2 occupations, with a 50% loading for Risk Class 2.
HospiCash pays a fixed daily amount for up to 45 days a year, so it does not reimburse hospital bills.
CritiCare does not start for 90 days, and a 36-month PED wait applies, so buy early if you have a condition.
You want flexibility in sum insured and add-on benefits
You value regular health check-ups and ambulance coverage
You seek cashless hospitalization services across many hospitals
You prefer optional add-ons for extra critical illness cover
You want extensive hospital and daycare coverage
