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 Health Assurance

  • The sum insured for AccidentCare and TTD is linked to annual income, so check the limits against your income.

  • Only 2 adults can be covered under a CritiCare family option, so check this before buying for a larger family.

  • AccidentCare has no waiting period, but it is available only to Risk Class 1 and 2 occupations, with a 50% loading for Risk Class 2.

  • HospiCash pays a fixed daily amount for up to 45 days a year, so it does not reimburse hospital bills.

  • CritiCare does not start for 90 days, and a 36-month PED wait applies, so buy early if you have a condition.
