Lifeline Elite

Short waiting period for Pre Existing Diseases

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 just 2 years. It’s probably the best deal you can get to be honest.

dayCare

Day Care treatments covered

If you’re hospitalized for less than 24 hours in lieu of a minor procedure, then the insurer will cover these costs too. Think dialysis, chemotherapy or minor surgeries.

domiciliary

Full coverage even if you are forced to hospitalize at home

The insurer will bear the costs even if you are hospitalized at home due to a condition or the hospital running out of beds. In insurance lingo, they call this a policy with domiciliary cover.

maternity

Maternity benefits offered

The insurer will also cover expenses related to maternity— Think hospitalization expenses incurred while giving birth. But they’ll only pay upto ₹2,00,000 and make you wait 3 years before covering this expense. Also, you’ll only get the benefits if both, you and your spouse are enrolled in a single-family floater plan.

diseaseSublimit

You always have full cover irrespective of the disease

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.

prePost

Pre & Post hospitalization expenses covered

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 - 60 days before you are hospitalized and 180 days after discharge. This includes the cost of medication by the way.

Free Health Checkups every year

If you’re planning on getting a full body checkup every year just to make sure you’re in fine working condition, the insurer will cover the costs.

restoration

Some Restoration Benefit

Even after you claim part of the cover on one occasion, you will have 100% of the cover restored, if you are hospitalized one more time in a bid to treat a different complication. In the same year, by the way.

Special Bonus for being healthy and not claiming insurance

Your sum insured increases by 20% each year, so long as you make no claims during this period. But before you get too ahead of yourself, do note that they’ll stop offering you the bonus when your sum insured increases by 100%. But hey, it's still a bonus.

Add-ons

Consumables

With this add-on, you also get extended coverage for generally excluded items like syringes, gloves, PPE kits etc.

Health & Wellness

With this add-on, the insurance company offers teleconsultation with doctors whenever you require, a virtual health coach to help you boost your health and Health & Wellness app to manage your health status.

Elite Plus

With this add-on, insurer provides additional benefits like App-based cabs for ambulance cover, restoration for same illness and In-patient hospitalisation cover for pre-existing disease in life-threatening condition once in policy lifetime along with coverage for bariatric surgery, mobility devices like wheelchairs, walkers, etc. and second opinion for additional 11 critical illnesses, international treatment for 3 additional critical illnesses and In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatment upto defined limits.

Hospital Cash

The insurer pays a lumpsum by adding a fixed sum (daily cash) every day until the day of discharge so you can deal with any potential loss in income during this time. The money will be reimbursed to you after you submit the required documents post-discharge, and while this looks like a neat benefit to have, we don’t recommend it since the benefit doesn’t compensate for the extra premium you pay.

Co-payment

This benefit helps to opt for co-payment of 5% to 30%.
