HDFC ERGO

EquiCover

Get inpatient hospitalisation for a certified disability or for people living with HIV/AIDS, excluding anti-retroviral treatment, plus AYUSH care up to the sum insured and a 20% co-pay on every claim.

What Makes It Special:

EquiCover is an indemnity health insurance product specifically filed for applicants who are routinely declined or heavily loaded on standard plans: persons certified with not less than 40% of a specified disability under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016 or the Mental Healthcare Act 2017, and individuals with...

Best For:

  • Families covering a dependent child with a certified disability, since children can be enrolled on an individual policy of their own

  • Buyers who want a first layer of hospitalisation cover and are willing to pay extra to remove the standard 20% co-payment

  • Individuals living with HIV/AIDS seeking in-patient hospitalisation cover for medical conditions generally

  • Persons holding a disability certificate for not less than 40% of a specified disability from a government-appointed medical board, who cannot obtain standard health cover

Quick Decision Guide

HDFC ERGO EquiCover

  • If you are being covered for HIV/AIDS, note that antiretroviral treatment costs are excluded, so budget for that medication separately.

  • A disability certificate from a government-appointed medical board is a condition precedent to the disability cover, so obtain and keep it before applying.

  • The sum insured is limited to ₹4 lakh or ₹5 lakh, so treat this as a base layer and consider whether a separate top-up or group cover is available to you for larger claims.

  • Room rent is capped at 1% of sum insured per day and ICU at 2%, which on a ₹5 lakh cover is ₹5,000 and ₹10,000 a day, so check those limits against room rates at the hospitals you would use.

  • Price the optional co-payment waiver before buying, because without it you bear 20% of every admissible claim — ₹1 lakh on a ₹5 lakh claim at the maximum sum insured.

Liberty Health Connect Elite

  • Check the plan-specific room rent, co-payment and disease-wise sub-limits before buying.

  • Check the applicable waiting periods for pre-existing diseases and specified treatments.

  • Consider it if you want cumulative bonus benefits for claim-free years.

  • Consider it if you want a reload of Sum Insured from the first claim.

  • Consider the plan if you want flexible 1, 2 or 3-year policy terms.
