Floater Mediclaim

New India Floater Mediclaim policy doesn't do day care treatments. They impose restrictions on the kind of room you can pick. The insurer makes you wait 3 years before covering complications arising out of pre-existing diseases (like diabetes) and it isn't exacty cheap either. Bottom line - The policy doesn't have a lot going for it.

What's good here?

Also, the bonus amount will reduce at same rate each time you make a claim. But hey, it's still a bonus.

What's lacking here?

restoration

No Restoration Benefit

Some policies will tell you - Even after you claim part of the cover on one occasion, you will have the full cover restored, if you are hospitalized another time during the same year. So if you have a family cover and multiple members of the family are hospitalized in the same year, this feature will come in handy. Unfortunately, this policy offers no such benefit.

healthCheckup

Your insurer doesn’t provide free health check-ups

If you want to get a full-body checkup just to make sure you’re in fine working condition, be ready to pay for it yourself.
