The Product is one of the most comprehensive and affordable option available in the market today and is available under two plan variants, Basic and Enhanced. It provides coverage towards Hospitalization and increased payouts for ICU, Worldwide and Accidental admission. Moreover it also allows for features like Convalesce Benefit, Companion Benefit and Compassionate Benefit, with add on covers for Day Care, Accident Death and Critical Illness Benefit with annual coverage options ranging from INR 30,000 to 9 Lacs.
