Quick Decision Guide

  • Confirm the variant’s sum insured and feature list on the current policy schedule, since the wording reviewed is from around 2018 to 2019.

  • Confirm the co-payment position with ICICI Lombard on 1800 2666 before buying, since a third-party source mentions 20% in some cases.

  • Maternity needs a 3-year term and a 9-month wait, so decide early if you plan a pregnancy.

  • The 48-month PED waiting period is long, so buy early if you have existing conditions.

  • Choose the variant by need: Value is the lowest-cost option, and Uber adds air ambulance, dental and the highest sum insured.

ManipalCigna Sarvah Pratham

  • Check the available benefits, limits and optional covers carefully before choosing the plan to make sure they match your healthcare needs.

  • Consider Sarvah Pratham if you prefer flexibility through deductible and voluntary co-payment options.

  • This plan may be suitable if you want the option to add benefits such as Restoration, Gullak and Sarathi.

  • Consider this plan if you want hospitalisation coverage along with AYUSH treatment and pre- and post-hospitalisation benefits.

  • Consider Sarvah Pratham if you want coverage from ₹5 lakh to ₹3 crore with single private AC room coverage, AYUSH treatment, pre- and post-hospitalisation coverage, and the option to add benefits such as Restoration, Gullak and Sarathi. The plan also offers flexible deductible and voluntary co-payment options.
