Quick Decision Guide

  • The sum insured for AccidentCare and TTD is linked to annual income, so check the limits against your income.

  • Only 2 adults can be covered under a CritiCare family option, so check this before buying for a larger family.

  • AccidentCare has no waiting period, but it is available only to Risk Class 1 and 2 occupations, with a 50% loading for Risk Class 2.

  • HospiCash pays a fixed daily amount for up to 45 days a year, so it does not reimburse hospital bills.

  • CritiCare does not start for 90 days, and a 36-month PED wait applies, so buy early if you have a condition.

  • You enjoy wellness rewards and annual health check-ups from day one

  • You value maternity and modern medical treatments

  • You want freedom with no room rent or co-payment limits

  • You prefer unlimited sum insured refills (Super Reload)

  • You want very high medical coverage up to ₹6 crore
