Quick Decision Guide

HDFC ERGO Optima Secure Global

  • Check waiting periods, exclusions, eligible relationships and underwriting terms before selecting the policy.

  • Compare the optional aggregate deductible against your ability to pay eligible domestic expenses out of pocket.

  • Confirm how Secure Benefit and Automatic Restore apply, because these benefits are restricted to eligible treatment in India.

  • Review the ₹10,000 per-claim overseas deductible and policy-year overseas liability limit before relying on the international benefit.

  • Choose Global if overseas protection is needed for eligible emergencies; compare Global Plus if planned overseas treatment is also important.

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.
