ICICI Lombard

iHealth Plus

Include maternity after a 3-year wait, newborn cover up to ₹10,000 and an outpatient and wellness allowance, plus a 10% cumulative bonus each claim-free year up to 50% of the sum insured.

What Makes It Special:

iHealth Plus is a discontinued ICICI Lombard Complete Health Insurance variant. It provides hospitalisation cover, outpatient treatment, maternity cover after 3 years, and an annual free health check-up, with no co-payment and no room rent restriction.

Best For:

  • Buyers comparing it with ICICI Lombard’s current Complete Health Insurance plans

  • Policyholders reviewing an existing iHealth Plus cover before renewal

  • Families who want outpatient treatment and an annual health check-up

  • Buyers who want no room rent restriction and no co-payment

  • Families planning a pregnancy within three years, if the policy was bought earlier

VS
Niva Bupa

GoActive

Cover doctor visits and hospital stays together, refill the base sum insured, and get 90 days of pre-hospitalisation cover plus 180 days after discharge.

What Makes It Special:

GoActive combines in-patient cover with OPD consultations, a personal health coach and an annual health check-up. It has a refill benefit, an optional sum insured escalator, and a renewal discount for buyers who start young.

Best For:

  • Buyers who do not need maternity cover

  • Buyers who want the sum insured to grow over time through I-Protect

  • Buyers who want a health coach and an annual check-up

  • Families who visit doctors often and want OPD reimbursement

  • Younger, active buyers who want the 10% early-age discount and a renewal discount for healthy habits

Quick Decision Guide

  • Kindly consult the insurer for sublimits and the cumulative bonus before deciding.

  • Confirm the sum insured range, since sources differ on the upper limit.

  • The PED waiting period is 2 or 4 years depending on the sum insured, so check the one you chose.

  • Maternity cover needs a 3-year wait, so plan ahead if you intend to start a family.

  • Because the plan is discontinued, compare current ICICI Lombard plans before deciding.

  • Zone 2 adds a 20% co-payment in four cities, so choose Zone 1 unless you know you will not be treated there.

  • The 1% room rent cap applies to the lower sum insured options, so pick ₹5 lakh or above if you want room choice.

  • The 36-month PED waiting period is long, so buy early if anyone has an existing condition.

  • Maternity is excluded, so choose another plan if you plan to start a family.

  • Check the OPD limit for your sum insured and number of adults, since the limit is shared across the family.
