Health Assurance
Choose a listed critical-illness lump sum, accident cover and daily hospital cash as fixed benefits you can combine, with hospital cash paid for each day in hospital up to 45 days a year.
What Makes It Special:
Health Assurance is a Niva Bupa family plan made up of three separate covers. CritiCare pays a lump sum for listed critical illnesses. HospiCash pays a fixed daily cash amount during hospitalisation. AccidentCare pays for accidental death, permanent disability and temporary disability.
Best For:
Buyers who want lifelong renewal on all three covers
Parents who want child education benefits paid on an accidental death or permanent disability of the proposer
Working adults who want accident death, disability and income-loss cover
Buyers who want daily cash to cover incidental costs during a hospital stay
Families who want a lump sum if a listed critical illness is diagnosed

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.
Covers daycare treatments without overnight stay.
Pre- and post-hospitalization expenses included.
Safeguards against critical illness and emergencies.
Comprehensive coverage for hospitalization and treatment.
