Quick Decision Guide

Niva Bupa HeartBeat Enhanced

  • Assess whether the international coverage add-on is relevant: The enhanced geographical scope is an optional Platinum benefit for specified international coverage. Confirm the exclusions and terms before choosing it.

  • Evaluate family and maternity requirements: Review the eligibility conditions, waiting periods and limits for maternity and newborn benefits where available.

  • Review room eligibility and cost-sharing: Check room limits, geographical pricing and any applicable co-payment before selecting a plan.

  • Check pre-existing disease waiting periods: The current documentation specifies 24 months for Gold and Platinum and 36 months for Silver.

  • Compare the documented plan options: Review Silver, Gold and Platinum against your required Sum Insured, eligibility and benefit limits.

ICICI Lombard Smart Super Health

  • 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.
