The table below shows the individual Mediclaim plans in the top quartile of Mint's ratings, along with the premiums and the incurred claims ratio. Please note that the premiums are applicable to a 35 year old insured for a sum insured of र 5 lacs, except where mentioned otherwise. Further, please note that the incurred claims ratio is the ratio of the claims incurred by the insurer to the premiums earned by the insurer.
It should be noted that, the premiums of some of the top quartile Mediclaim plans is higher than premiums of some of the lower quartile Mediclaim plans.
