Star Health

Women Care

Star Women Care is a plan specifically built for women. It extends coverage for assisted reproductive treatments (upto a certain limit). It pays out specific amounts for surrogacy, IVF, Oocyte donor care and other related treatments after you serve a three year waiting period. And it offers meaningful coverage in other areas too. The only downside is that you will have to settle for room rent restrictions while buying a plan with a sum assure of 50 Lakh or less and certain sub-limits on modern treatments. You might also want to consider that the recent online customer feedback about Star’s overall operational efficinecy suggets that they need to up their game a bit.
