VS
HDFC ERGO

Energy Gold Without Copay

Cover diabetes and hypertension from day one with no co-pay, including cashless wellness tests at network centres, a one-time 100% restore and a 10% yearly bonus even after claims, up to 100% of the sum insured.

What Makes It Special:

Energy is written specifically for people already diagnosed with Type I or Type II diabetes, pre-diabetes or hypertension, and covers hospitalisation arising out of those conditions from the first day of the policy rather than after a pre-existing disease waiting period; this configuration pairs that with no co-payment on admissible...

Best For:

  • People who will actively use the wellness programme and reward points to bring down renewal premium

  • Buyers who want the cost of regular HbA1c and metabolic monitoring built into the policy rather than paid out of pocket

  • People with hypertension or pre-diabetes seeking hospitalisation cover for that condition without waiting two or more years

  • Buyers who want their admissible claims paid without contributing a 20% share of each one

  • Individuals already diagnosed with Type I or Type II diabetes who would otherwise face a long pre-existing disease waiting period on a standard health plan

Quick Decision Guide

  • Before choosing the plan, consider its waiting periods, age-linked and network-related co-payment conditions, room category and other policy terms that may affect your claim.

  • If you want additional protection after your available Sum Insured and accrued Cumulative Bonus are exhausted, the Restore Benefit automatically reinstates 100% of the Sum Insured once during the policy year, subject to applicable conditions.

  • MediCare LITE may be considered if you want both Individual and Family Floater policy options, with coverage available for eligible family members.

  • The plan offers Sum Insured options of ₹5 lakh, ₹7.5 lakh, ₹10 lakh, ₹15 lakh and ₹20 lakh, allowing you to select the coverage amount applicable to your requirements.

  • Consider MediCare LITE if you want a health insurance plan with In-Patient Treatment, Day Care Treatment and related medical expenses covered under one policy.

  • This is an individual-only policy with no floater option, so if a spouse or parent also needs cover, budget for separate policies rather than adding them to this one.

  • Use network centres for the wellness tests: at an approved non-network centre reimbursement is capped at ₹2,000, and at a non-approved centre nothing is reimbursed and no reward points are earned.

  • Gold costs more than Silver because it includes the wellness test cost, so compare that premium difference against what the two tests would cost you privately each year.

  • The day-one cover applies to hospitalisation arising out of diabetes and hypertension only, so any other pre-existing condition still waits 24 months and should be declared at proposal.

  • This configuration costs more than the 20% co-payment version, so compare the extra premium against what a 20% share of a realistic claim at your sum insured would actually cost you.
