Objective

A health policy which will take care of medical needs of a young couple. It will cover maternity expenses too.

 

Suited for

This policy is suitable for youngsters.

 

What does it do?

One can opt for either the 3-lakh or 5-lakh policy. It covers hospitalisation bills, pre and post hospitalisation expenses, maternity expenses and newborn baby. It pays a lump sum amount if the baby is born with Down's syndrome or Cerebral Palsy. It also provides for emergency ambulance and non-allopathic treatment except Naturopathy. The expenses are capped up to stated in the plan.

 

Pros

Waiting period for maternity cover reduces to two years if one opts for a 4-year policy term.
Non-allopathic treatments are covered.
Premium paid under this policy qualifies for deduction under section 80D of Income Tax Act.

 

Cons

Policy offers a maximum cover of Rs 5 lakh, which may not be sufficient for a family of three.
This policy cannot be renewed beyond 45 years of age.

 

Our View

Though it offers decent benefits and features, the policy is little expensive as compared to other products in the market. Cover for non-allopathic treatment may be a cause for higher price. Coverage upto maximum of 45 years of age is another drawback. If you are looking for such a policy, consider substitutes from other insurers that are available at cheaper rates.
