HDFC ERGO

Energy Silver Without Copay

Cover diabetes and hypertension from day one with no co-pay, pay for your own wellness tests, and get a one-time 100% restore plus 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 keeps claims free of co-payment while holding...

Best For:

  • Buyers who intend to participate in the wellness programme for the renewal discount even though they pay for the tests themselves

  • People who expect a sizeable hospitalisation, where a 20% co-payment would be costly in absolute terms

  • Buyers who prioritise full claim settlement over bundled wellness benefits when choosing between the four configurations

  • Buyers who already get HbA1c and lipid monitoring through an employer scheme or pay for it themselves and do not need the test cost bundled in

  • Individuals diagnosed with diabetes or hypertension who want day-one cover for that condition without contributing a share of each claim

VS

Quick Decision Guide

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • You still need to undergo the wellness tests to earn reward points and the renewal discount of up to 25%, so factor the test cost into your running cost of the policy.

  • Compare it against the Silver plan with co-payment by calculating 20% of a realistic claim at your sum insured, because that is the amount the extra premium here buys out.

  • Compare this against the Gold plan without co-payment by pricing the two wellness tests locally, since the only stated difference between the plans is who bears that cost.

  • Co-payment provisions applied based on age

  • In-built, one time, automatic sum insured recharge

  • Includes annual health checkups for all covered adult member.

  • Requires no pre-policy medical checkup across all ages and sum insured choices.

  • Features are reduced 24 months waiting period for pre-existing diseases.
