Diabetes Safe

A decent diabetic specific plan that will cover all diabetes related complications from day 1. The only thing you may want to look out for is what variant you're buying, since one variant makes you wait 1 year before covering diabetes related illnesses.

What's good here?

coPay

You’ll never have to split the bill

The insurer will bear the entire cost of treatment (up to the sum insured). You won’t have to pay a single penny. Meaning this policy has no co-payment.

roomRent

You can pick a Single Private room but nothing fancy

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.

dayCare

Day Care treatments covered up to a certain limit

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. However, this is only available for complications not related to diabetes.

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.

prePost

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 (but not exceeding 7% of the hospitalization expenses or ₹5,000 per hospitalization whichever is less). This includes the cost of medication by the way.

No Bonus for being healthy and not claiming insurance

Some policies offer you extra cover if you go an entire year without claiming your insurance. This policy, however, 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.
