Quick Decision Guide
Senior health screening included
Inbuilt 1-time automatic sum insured recharge
Includes a mandatory 20% co-payment per claim
Pre-existing disease waiting period is 48 months (or 24 months based on option)
Entry starts from age 60 with no maximum entry age limit
Compare optional costs and policy limits: Evaluate deductibles, voluntary co-payment, room eligibility, disease sublimits and the Re-fill conditions. A lower premium may mean paying more out of pocket when making a claim.
Choose your geographical coverage carefully: Review Zone 1 and Zone 2 pricing and understand where the 20% co-payment applies. If international protection matters, check the optional USA and Canada geographical enhancement and its exclusions.
Read the maternity and newborn conditions: Check the applicable waiting period, maternity limit, eligible policy structure and newborn benefits before choosing the plan.
Calculate your likely OPD expenses: Compare the annual OPD limit with your expected spending on consultations, diagnostics and prescribed medicines. Review the carry-forward conditions and eligible expenses in the policy wording.
Select the right Sum Insured: Compare ₹15 lakh, ₹20 lakh, ₹50 lakh and ₹1 crore options against your family's medical needs, location and budget. Family First Platinum uses a different per-person and floater structure.
