The Bottom Line
1- Maximum Sum Insured is ONLY 5 lacs. Any critical disease like Heart Attack, Cancer and related treatment today needs minimum 5-10 lacs in good hospital and this will rise in future with inflation.
2- You have to buy policy for three years in one go, you cannot use the health insurance portability option, which will be coming from 1st October'2011. So you have to stay with the company even if you don't like the services or product.

Please don't buy this policy by ignoring your existing health insurance/mediclaim policy. Buy only as a add on to existing health insurance policy.
