Religare health insurance which is promoted under shareholding of Religare enterprises, Union bank of India and Corporation bank came with its first flagship product care which was launched in July 2012 with loaded features. Most of the features are mixture of the then popular products of Apollo Munich and Max Bupa. Being a new company with no experience on claim settlement it was difficult to trust product like religare health insurance, but now after 1 and half year of existence, good customer service and decent claim settlement track record ( 90% plus as claimed by company…yet to be verified) I think that this policy should be under " can be considered" category for all those who are planning to buy health insurance for self, family or parents. Let me take you through brief features of Religare health insurance care and also one additional optional feature of No claim bonus super which has added more attraction to this product.

Religare health insurance Care – Features

All day care procedures covered : Along with all other common features of hospitalization benefit with no sub limits or capping ( for higher sum assured of 5 lakh plus ) , one of the major benefit in this product is about day care surgeries. Where many health insurance policies have some defined surgeries being covered under the day care benefit…Religare covers all Day care procedures.

No maximum enrollment age: the other advantageous feature in Religare health insurance care is no maximum enrollment age limit. Though for a person entering after 61 years of age, co payment feature (20%) is applicable but still I found it a good policy even for parents /Senior citizens especially for first timers entering after 65 years of age. Copayment is something which is normally asked for by all insurers from first time entrants in this age group.

Recharge benefit: I have written a full post on explaining the difference between Restore an Recharge benefit. Restore now days is available in many health insurance products but recharge is only in Religare health insurance care.

Annual Health check up: Religare health insurance offers annual health check up (specified tests as per age) to all insured persons every year, irrespective of claim history. This is also one of the features which attract me specifically in case of health insurance for parents. Though routine preventive health check up is must for all but it is inevitable for senior citizens.

New Add on feature – No claim bonus Super

Religare health insurance care has a feature of giving 10% no claim bonus for every claim free year upto maximum of 50%. But now to answer the competition from Apollo Munich Optima restore or the likes, it has come up with add on optional feature which is called as NO claim bonus Super.

No claim Bonus Super is a benefit where the insured gets an increase of 50% in the sum insured for every claim free year, up to the maximum of 100 % of the sum insured. This is over and above the existing NCB of 10% which is available every year.

Example:

Hence, with the new NCB Super benfit coming into play, an insured can enjoy a sum insured of 2.5 times his original sum insured if he does not claim for 5 consecutive years ( from 5 lakh to 12.5 lakh). This is the highest level of NCB available in the market.

Reasonably Cheap Premium Quotes:

The premium rates of Religare health insurance care (with or without No claim bonus) is very much reasonable as compared to its counterparts. For Rs 5 lakh individual cover of different age samples in Religare health insurance care as compared to Apollo Munich optima Restore and max bupa heartbeat is as follows:

*Apollo optima restore does not have annual health check up benefit feature. It also does not let anyone above 65 years to enter, but one can keep on renewing the policy if bought before 65 years of age.

Health insurance cover is must for all. Even for those who are covered under employer provided insurance coverage. The product space in health insurance is getting competitive day by day and many innovative products are coming up in market with attractive features which is beneficial for consumers at large.

Bottomline is that you should be insured adequately…either through Religare health insurance or any other insurer of your liking.

Mutual Fund Review: Religare Tax Plan

Tax Plan is one of the better performing schemes from Religare Asset Management. Existing investors can redeem their investment after three years. But given the scheme's performance, they can continue to stay invested   Given the mandated lock-in period of three years, tax saving schemes give the fund manager the leeway to invest in ideas that may take time to nurture. Religare Tax Plan's investment ideas revolve around 'High Growth', which the fund manager has aimed to achieve by digging out promising stories/businesses in the mid-cap segment. Within the space, consumer staples has been the centre of attention for the last couple of years and can be seen as one of the key reasons for the scheme's outperformance as compared to the broader market. It has, however, tweaked its focus and reduced exposure in midcaps as they were commanding a high premium. The strategy seems to have worked as it returned a 22% gain last year. Religare Tax Plan has outperformed BSE 100...

Good time to invest in Infrastructure Funds

Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Buy Gold Mutual Funds Leave a missed Call on 94 8300 8300   Good time to invest in infrastructure The Sensex has gained almost 10 per cent from May 15 till date, while the CNX Infrastructure Index has gained almost 17 per cent in the period.

Stocks with a high dividend yield

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India) Stocks with a high-dividend yield can provide investors additional cash flow. More importantly, it is tax-free   With April 2011 just over, the 'earnings season' is well and truly here. This is the time most companies pay out a portion of their profits as dividends to shareholders. Since dividends are tax-free, they are an attractive income source with a select class of investors, who depend on these for additional cash flow. SIGNIFICANCE A company doing well and generating profits will usually be in a position to declare dividends regularly. Hence, a key parameter one should look at whilst investing in a stock is whether the company has a good dividend record. Typically, dividend yield stocks are large-caps and generally not capital-intensive. This is suggestive of the fact that the downside risk on...

Systematic withdrawal plan

  Start Systematic withdrawal plan Online Although an SWP gives you regular income and saves on taxes in the long term, you cannot open an SWP on a scheme where you have an ongoing SIP   iStockPhoto If you are planning to take a sabbatical from work or are retiring soon, you may be looking at different investment options that give a regular income. Usually, a lump sum is invested to get regular fixed amounts later. Popular products include post office monthly income scheme, Senior Citizens' Savings Scheme and monthly income plans (MIPs). A lesser known option is the systematic withdrawal plan (SWP) in mutual funds. Recently, some funds have even removed the exit load on SWPs if you were to withdraw up to 15-20% in the first year, to encourage people who want to start investing in this instrument. Here is a look at what an SWP is. WHAT IS SWP? Many of us would be familiar with a systematic investment plan (SIP ), where a corpus ...
