Detailed Features Comparison
Compare the key features of different health insurance plans
Joy Health Insurance Plan VS VS |
Aspire Platinum+ Health Insurance Plan |
| Room Rent |

|---|
Joy ICU charges (ICU bed, monitoring devices, critical care nursing and intensivist charges) are payable as part of in-patient hospitalisation up to the sum insured. There is no separate ICU sublimit. |
VS VS |

| Co-payment |
|---|
Joy 20% of each admissible claim applies if the insured's entry age (eldest member for a floater) is 60 years or above. No co-payment applies for entry ages below 60. |
VS VS |
Aspire Platinum+ Available as an option |

| Restoration Benefit |
|---|
Joy Not available. Once the sum insured is used, it is not restored within the same policy year. The optional No Claim Bonanza is a bonus for claim-free years, not a restoration benefit. |
VS VS |
Aspire Platinum+ Yes, your sum insured restores to 100% each time you make a claim in a policy year, for both related and unrelated illnesses |
| Cumulative Bonus |
|---|

The accrued bonus cannot exceed 100% of the sum insured in the renewed policy. If a claim is made, the accrued bonus is not carried to the next renewal, but the base sum insured is never reduced. The bonus is lost if the policy is not renewed within the grace period. |
VS VS |
