‘The most cost effective health insurance plan which covers over 20 common critical illnesses and offers a unique benefit pay-off option up to 150% of Sum Insured under CritiCare. ’

A demand for comprehensive health insurance covers is on the rise as the rate of incidence and the cost of treatment are high in critical illness, hospitalization and accidental injury.

A policyholder is at peace, not taking into account of how much the expenses are as he/she has made pre-defined payment(s) even before the occurrence of the event.

Customers can choose from the new product/policy for a sum of cash ranging from:

Rs 3 lakhs to Rs 2 crores for CritiCare
Rs 5 lakhs to Rs 5 crores for AccidentCare
Rs 1 thousand to Rs 4 thousand per day for HospiCash

For the most common 20 critical illness provides equal amounts to CritiCare as that of the Sum Insured on diagnosis like Cancer, Open Chest Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery, First Heart Attack, Open Heart Valve Replacement or Repair, Major Organ Transplant, Coma, Kidney Failure amid other illnesses.

“Given the growing incidence of critical illnesses and accidents in India, the uptake of fixed benefit product category has witnessed huge growth.WHO statistics indicate that the incidence of heart attack, diabetes, chronic respiratory ailment and cancer are expected to rise by 25%, in India.
