Aditya Birla's Activ One MAX+ plan builds on the features of the MAX base plan, offering enhanced benefits like Durable Equipment Cover for medically required devices and expanded annual health check-ups.

With coverage options up to ₹2 crores, it is ideal for individuals seeking advanced protection and flexibility beyond the standard offerings of the MAX plan.

The Activ One MAX+ plan elevates the offerings of the MAX base plan by incorporating additional features that cater to specific healthcare requirements. A standout addition is the Durable Equipment Cover, which provides financial support for essential medical equipment like ventilators and prosthetic devices, up to ₹5 lakhs. This inclusion makes MAX+ particularly beneficial for individuals requiring long-term medical aids.

Another enhancement is the expanded annual health check-up quota, which covers a broader range of diagnostic tests, including computed tomography angiography (CTA) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans, compared to the MAX plan. These upgrades complement existing features like "HealthReturns™," which rewards healthy living with up to 100% premium discounts, and unlimited reloads of the sum insured, ensuring uninterrupted coverage during multiple claims.

However, these added benefits come at a higher premium, which may not justify the cost for policyholders who do not need durable equipment coverage or expanded check-ups. The MAX base plan remains a more cost-effective option for those seeking comprehensive yet affordable coverage. Additionally, waiting periods for pre-existing conditions and maternity benefits remain unchanged between variants.

Pros

Offers a wide range of features.

Insurer has a solid track record with great claim and service metrics.

Cons

Maternity benefits not offered, which is a notable gap.

Doctor consultations are not covered, which could be a drawback for some. Need to opt add-on for doctor consultations.

Co-payment

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.

Disease sub-limit

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.

Pre existing diseases waiting

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 you wait for 3 years.

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

The Durable Equipment Cover is a lifesaver! My father needed a ventilator, and this plan covered it. So grateful.

R

Rohan M.

HealthReturns™ giving up to 100% premium back is just amazing! Staying fit actually pays.

A

Ayesha K.

Unlimited reloads of sum insured gives great peace of mind. No tension about coverage running out.

K

Karan V.

If you don't need durable equipment or those very specific expanded check-ups, the extra cost might not feel justified.

A

Arjun G.

The premium is definitely on the higher side compared to the base MAX plan. Only worth it if you *really* need the extra perks.

V

Vikram J.

The plan is definitely an upgrade. Specialized benefits for specific needs are well thought out.
