Quick Decision Guide

  • 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.

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.

  • Reasons to Consider: A 100% Re-fill of Base Sum Insured is available once a year for any illness.

  • Reasons to Consider: Pre- and post-hospitalisation are covered for 90 and 180 days.

  • Reasons to Consider: PED waiting period is 24 months and specific disease waiting period is 12 months.

  • Reasons to Consider: Any room category, OPD cover and annual multi-trip international cover are built in.

  • Things to Consider: Maternity cover is only for Family Floater / Family First policies after 24 months of continuous cover.

  • Things to Consider: Zone 2 pricing means a 20% co-payment for treatment in Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Kolkata and Gujarat.

  • Things to Consider: Non-payable items such as gloves need the paid Safeguard add-on.

  • Things to Consider: Robotic surgery, some mental disorders and HIV/AIDS have sub-limits; mental illness has a 36-month wait.

  • Things to Consider: Premium is higher because of ₹1-3 Crore cover and the built-in extras.
