Quick Decision Guide

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.

Niva Bupa Health Premia Platinum

  • Reasons to Consider: Loyalty Additions grow cover by 10% of Base Sum Insured every year up to 100%, even if you claim.
