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.
Senior health screening included
Inbuilt 1-time automatic sum insured recharge
Includes a mandatory 20% co-payment per claim
Pre-existing disease waiting period is 48 months (or 24 months based on option)
Entry starts from age 60 with no maximum entry age limit
