Critical Illness Platinum Plan
Lump-sum payout on first diagnosis of any of 15 critical illnesses
What Makes It Special:

Quick Decision Guide
Set the sum insured against the income and costs you would need to replace over a treatment period, not against hospital bills, since the payout is a fixed benefit rather than a reimbursement.
Pre-existing conditions carry a 48-month waiting period, so if you have a declared condition, factor that delay into whether the cover meets your need.
Choose the survival period deliberately: the quoted premiums are based on 30 days, and the 15-day option changes the price.
The benefit is paid once, so treat this as a supplement to a hospitalisation policy rather than a replacement for one.
This plan pays only on first diagnosis of one of the 15 listed conditions as defined in the policy, so read those definitions — including the severity thresholds on heart attack, cancer and stroke — before assuming a diagnosis will qualify.
The policy also provides additional benefits such as preventive health check-ups, second medical opinion and other healthcare support, subject to the applicable limits and conditions.
Domiciliary Treatment is covered when the treatment exceeds three days and the applicable policy conditions are satisfied.
A 50% Cumulative Bonus is added after each claim-free policy year, up to a maximum of 100% of the Sum Insured, subject to policy conditions.
The policy provides automatic restoration of the Basic Sum Insured after the Sum Insured and accrued Cumulative Bonus are exhausted, subject to applicable conditions.
Consider Tata AIG MediCare if you want coverage for inpatient hospitalisation, Day Care Treatment, pre-hospitalisation and post-hospitalisation expenses.
