Quick Decision Guide

Care Classic

  • Review the applicable room-rent, treatment sub-limits and waiting periods before purchasing, particularly the 36-month PED waiting period.

  • Check the plan carefully if maternity coverage is a priority, as maternity expenses are not covered.

  • Consider it if you want AYUSH treatment and annual health check-up benefits.

  • Choose it if 60-day pre- and 180-day post-hospitalisation coverage is important to you.

  • Choose Care Classic if you want family floater coverage with unlimited automatic recharge.

Niva Bupa GoActive

  • Zone 2 adds a 20% co-payment in four cities, so choose Zone 1 unless you know you will not be treated there.

  • The 1% room rent cap applies to the lower sum insured options, so pick ₹5 lakh or above if you want room choice.

  • The 36-month PED waiting period is long, so buy early if anyone has an existing condition.

  • Maternity is excluded, so choose another plan if you plan to start a family.

  • Check the OPD limit for your sum insured and number of adults, since the limit is shared across the family.
