HDFC ERGO

Optima Super Secure

Triple your cover from day one, add up to 100% over two years even after claims, restore 100% of the base sum insured, and cover listed non-medical expenses, together reaching 5X after two years.

What Makes It Special:

Optima Super Secure is designed to increase the effective cover available beyond the selected base sum insured through three key benefits: Secure Benefit, Plus Benefit and Automatic Restore Benefit. Secure Benefit adds 200% of the base sum insured, Plus Benefit increases the base cover by 50% after each completed policy...

Best For:

  • Customers comparing a high-cover plan with optional aggregate deductible choices and related premium discounts.

  • Buyers looking for extended pre- and post-hospitalisation expense coverage.

  • People who value coverage for specified non-medical hospitalisation expenses.

  • Families considering a shared floater policy with restoration benefits.

  • Buyers who want a higher effective cover than the base sum insured alone.

VS
Niva Bupa

GoActive

Cover doctor visits and hospital stays together, refill the base sum insured, and get 90 days of pre-hospitalisation cover plus 180 days after discharge.

What Makes It Special:

Best For:

  • Buyers who do not need maternity cover

  • Buyers who want the sum insured to grow over time through I-Protect

  • Buyers who want a health coach and an annual check-up

  • Families who visit doctors often and want OPD reimbursement

  • Younger, active buyers who want the 10% early-age discount and a renewal discount for healthy habits

Quick Decision Guide

HDFC ERGO Optima Super Secure

  • Check the policy schedule for the selected room category and any optional benefits before purchasing.

  • Confirm the listed non-medical expenses covered by Protect Benefit rather than assuming every consumable or non-medical item is payable.

  • Review the 30-day initial waiting period, 24-month specified-disease waiting period and 36-month PED waiting period.

  • Check whether an aggregate deductible is suitable for your budget, because eligible expenses up to the selected deductible must be borne first.

  • Compare the base sum insured with your likely medical costs and understand how each enhanced-cover benefit is applied.

Niva Bupa GoActive

  • Zone 2 adds a 20% co-payment in four cities, so choose Zone 1 unless you know you will not be treated there.

  • The 1% room rent cap applies to the lower sum insured options, so pick ₹5 lakh or above if you want room choice.

  • The 36-month PED waiting period is long, so buy early if anyone has an existing condition.

  • Maternity is excluded, so choose another plan if you plan to start a family.

  • Check the OPD limit for your sum insured and number of adults, since the limit is shared across the family.
