The Aditya Birla Activ Assure Diamond plan is a robust health insurance solution that offers extensive coverage with innovative features. It's 150% reload benefit ensures financial security during multiple claims, while the super NCB option allows policyholders to gain up to double their sum insured within two claim-free years, providing significant long-term financial protection. The inclusion of a health coach for managing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension adds value by promoting lifestyle management.

However, the plan has several limitations. Room rent restrictions apply for sums insured below ₹7 lakhs, which may limit comfort during hospitalization. A mandatory 20% co-payment clause applies to claims for individuals aged 61 and above, increasing out-of-pocket expenses. While the claim settlement ratio is competitive, operational efficiency in claims processing may vary regionally. Furthermore, timely renewal is essential to maintain continuous coverage benefits, which can be inconvenient if overlooked.

Pros

Feature set is satisfactory.

Insurer has a solid track record with great claim and service metrics.

Cons

Maternity benefits not offered, which is a notable gap.

Doctor consultations are not covered, which could be a drawback for some. Need to opt add-on for doctor consultations.

Co-payment

If you bought this policy after you turned 61, you have to pay 20% of the bill every time you make a claim. Otherwise, you are good to go. The insurer will pay all costs up to the sum insured.

Room Rent

You can share a room or you could have a single room for yourself. But if you are looking for anything slightly fancy, be ready to foot a part of the bill.

Customisable

Change Single Private Room to Any Room.

Disease sub-limit

No funny business here. If your insurer hasn’t explicitly stated they won’t cover a certain illness, you can claim the full amount up to the sum insured, irrespective of the disease you’re dealing with. Meaning this policy doesn't impose the dreaded disease wise sub-limits.

Pre existing diseases waiting

If you’re already dealing with diabetes, cardiovascular problems or any such illnesses, the insurer will cover all costs arising out of these pre-existing problems after you wait for 3 years.

Pre/Post hospitalization

No worries if the doctor had to run a host of diagnostic tests before or after hospitalizing you. The insurer has your back. They will cover this amount in full for a pretty reasonable duration - 30 days before you are hospitalized and 60 days after discharge. This includes the cost of medication by the way.
