Apollo Munich Maxima Health

Objective

An inclusive health insurance plan that covers small illnesses under OPD treatment and can also incur inpatient hospitalisation expenses. This policy aims at complete protection including maternity cover and an optional cover against eight chronic diseases.

 

Suited for

This policy is suitable for those seeking an all-in-one insurance cover. It is available on individual and family floater basis. A family floater policy may include proposer, spouse, up to two dependent children.

 

What does it do?

A comprehensive insurance policy which covers inpatient hospitalisation, out patient department treatment, maternity expenses, domiciliary treatment i.e., treatment taken at home, day care procedures which do not require hospitalisation due to technological advancement and other incidental expenses. Under OPD treatment, the insured member(s) are entitled to a limited consultations with doctor. Other OPD benefits like diagnostic tests, pharmacy, dental treatment and spectacles are capped. Critical illness cover and cover for newborn are two optional covers worth buying. Add-on critical illness cover provides for eight chronic illnesses and pays a lump sum on confirmed diagnosis of any of the illnesses. Coverage for other incidental expenses such as pre and post hospitalisation, treatment of organ donor, a specific daily cash allowance for one adult accompanying an insured child under inpatient hospitalisation, are available in the policy.

 

Pros

There is no exclusion or waiting period under OPD treatment cover.
This policy covers diagnostic tests, dental treatment, spectacles, contact lenses under OPD benefits.
Policyholder enjoys a 10 per cent increase in annual inpatient sum insured for every claim-free year up to maximum of 50 per cent of sum insured.
Policyholder is allowed to carry forward 50 per cent of unutilized Entitlement Certificates to the next policy year except for Annual Health Check up.
Premium paid towards this policy is eligible for tax benefit under section 80D of Income Tax Act.

 

Cons

There are no choices to make for inpatient sum insured. This policy is available with sum insured worth Rs 3 lakh only.
There is a capping on most of the benefits both under inpatient hospitalisation and OPD cover.
Cumulative bonus reduces by 20 per cent in the following year when claim has been made.

 

Our View

The policy features a comprehensive protection for an individual and family. It is recommended to take critical illness cover as an add-on to boost the scope of coverage. Maternity cover is another advantageous benefit provided childbirth is planned well before time as it involves a 4-year waiting period. There is no exclusion under OPD cover. Even pre-existing illnesses under out-patient treatment are covered with zero waiting period. Moreover, the policy provides for lifelong renewal. Since most of inpatient and OPD benefits are capped, avoid unnecessary expenses at hospital to avoid risk of slugging your cover

Mutual Fund Reivew: Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative

Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative has numbers on its side to prove its credibility… Don't be surprised to find this Fund of Funds ( FoF ) in our recommendations. It has earned its place. And despite the difference in the structure of the product, there is no arguing with the numbers.   Of the total 6 years of its existence, the fund has been among the top 10 funds in its category in four of them. Last year it put up an average show and the only year it underperformed its peers was in 2008.   One aspect to look at when investing in an FoF is the expense ratio. The expense ratio of an FoF is capped at a lower limit of 0.75 per cent (2.50% for an actively managed fund). However, the FoF not only has its own expense (though lower) but even the expense ratio of the fund it is investing into. Fortunately, the fund manager takes that into account. "Expense is one of the important criteria used for fund selection and is the main reason for our investment in BSL Ind...

Short-Term Bond Funds

These are schemes that invest in fixed income instruments of short durations. Short-term bond funds with less than one year duration are good investment options provided you have a one-year investment horizon. Lower average maturity of the fund ensures that the fund NAV is not hit much when short-term interest rates move up. We expect the RBI to hike the policy rates by 50 to 75 basis points in this calendar year. That makes it a bit tricky for short-term bond fund investors. Check the average maturity and exit load before you invest in a short-term bond fund. As a rule of thumb, the average maturity should be less than your investment time frame. Some funds do charge an exit load if you log out early. To avoid such a cut in the returns earned, it is better to check at what threshold of time the fund charges an exit load. The funds have a wide range of 'exit load' thresholds. Some charge an exit load if you were to redeem units within 90 days, while there are some that let ...

Short-Term Investment Options in Mutual Funds

Mutual funds offer liquid funds and ultra short term funds in the debt category, which are suitable for short investment periods. Ultra short-term funds were earlier known as liquid plus funds. Liquid funds invest in money market instruments with a maturity of 91 days or less. However, there are no such restrictions for ultra short-term funds. Who should invest in these? These are open-ended schemes. Investors with a short investment horizon or with surplus cash and low risk appetite should look at these. These could include corporate as well as retail investors. Those interested in staying invested for less than 15 days can opt for liquid funds. Retail investors who want to remain invested for two-four months, can look at ultra short-term funds. The short duration for both liquid and ultra short-term funds shields them from any interest rate volatility.   What kind of returns do they offer? In terms of an investment period less than 15 days, these funds are comparable to a ba...
