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.

  • The restored Sum Insured cannot be carried forward and does not apply to Modern Treatment.

  • The maternity benefit is available only under the Gold Plan and has specific eligibility and waiting period conditions.

  • Room eligibility is based on a Single Private A/C Room, with proportionate deductions for higher room categories.

  • Specified diseases and procedures have a 12-month waiting period.

  • The PED waiting period is 12 months.
