Quick Decision Guide

  • Compare optional benefits and premiums to decide whether WellConsult, Safeguard+, Borderless or other add-ons suit your needs.

  • Check room eligibility and any room-type modification before purchasing, especially if you prefer a higher-category room.

  • Review the co-payment options carefully, as choosing one affects how much of an admissible claim you pay yourself.

  • Consider the M-iracle benefit if maternity, IVF, adoption or surrogacy coverage is important to you; the brochure lists a 24-month waiting period.

  • Choose Diamond+ if you want higher Booster+ accumulation than Gold+ offers at the same entry-age bands.

  • Things to Consider: Non-payable consumables in Annexure I are not covered, and no consumables add-on is listed for this variant.

  • Reasons to Consider: Any room covered up to Sum Insured, except Suite or above.
