Special Care Gold

Cover hospital bills for a listed disability or HIV with a 20% co-pay, and if the CD4 count falls below 150 after 90 days pay a once-in-a-lifetime lump sum of the sum insured or the remaining balance.

What Makes It Special:

Special Care Gold is designed for persons with disabilities and individuals with HIV/AIDS. The product provides individual indemnity and benefit coverage, with defined eligibility requirements, hospitalisation cover, daycare treatment, AYUSH treatment, modern treatment coverage and a 20% co-payment that can be waived through an optional benefit.

Best For:

  • Customers who need defined coverage with optional co-payment waiver

  • Customers looking for AYUSH hospitalisation coverage

  • Families seeking specialised health insurance for eligible members

  • Eligible individuals living with HIV/AIDS

  • Eligible persons with disabilities

VS
HDFC ERGO

myHealth Medisure Super Top-up

A super top-up that pays eligible hospitalisation costs only after your aggregate deductible is met, with no sub-limit on room rent or ICU and cover for day care procedures.

What Makes It Special:

my:health Koti Suraksha delivers a ₹1 crore sum insured at a lower premium by accepting three restrictions in the base cover — a room category capped at a Single Standard AC Room, a ₹75,000 sub-limit on eight common procedures, and a mandatory 20% co-payment for lives with a pre-existing disease...

Best For:

  • Buyers prepared to pay for the waiver covers so a ₹1 crore cover works without room, procedure or co-payment restrictions

  • Buyers who already hold a base policy and can take the aggregate deductible to reduce premium further

  • Buyers in Tier 2 cities where a Single Standard AC Room is likely to fall within or close to the plan's room entitlement

  • Families wanting a wide relationship list on one individual sum insured policy, extending to siblings, in-laws, grandparents, nieces and nephews

  • Buyers who want a very high sum insured for catastrophic illness and are willing to accept caps on routine, lower-cost procedures

Quick Decision Guide

  • No pre-policy medical test is required, subject to submission requirements.

  • A co-payment waiver is available for additional premium.

  • AYUSH inpatient treatment is covered up to 100% of Sum Insured.

  • Sum Insured options of ₹4 Lakh and ₹5 Lakh are available.

  • The product is specifically structured for disability and HIV/AIDS-related eligibility.

  • The room entitlement is a Single Standard AC Room rather than a percentage of sum insured, so check what that category means at the hospitals you would use, since exceeding it can trigger deductions.

  • Opting for the aggregate deductible removes both the Cumulative Bonus and the Sum Insured Rebound, so weigh the premium saved against losing those two benefits.

  • If anyone insured is entering above age 60 or has a declared pre-existing disease, a 20% co-payment applies, so check whether the Waiver of Co-Payment costs less than the share you would otherwise bear.

  • The ₹75,000 sub-limit covers eight of the most commonly claimed procedures, including cataract, hernia and hysterectomy, so if these are a realistic prospect for anyone insured, the Waiver of Disease Capping is likely to matter more than the sum insured.

  • Price all three waiver covers — room rent, disease capping and co-payment — before comparing this plan against a conventional ₹1 crore policy, because the headline premium reflects the restrictions, not the unrestricted cover.
