Overview

The Iffco Tokio Family Health Protector plan is a comprehensive family floater health insurance policy designed to cover multiple family members under a single sum insured. It includes benefits like no room rent restrictions [for SI 7L and above], coverage for AYUSH, ambulance services [subject to a limit of 1% of the sum insured or Rs. 2500/, whichever is lower], and pre-post hospitalization cover [60-90 days respectively]. It also promotes preventive care through health check-ups and vaccination coverage, making it a decent option for family health protection.

The Iffco Tokio Family Health Protector plan is a decent family floater policy that offers broad coverage for hospitalization and related medical expenses without room rent restrictions [for SI 7L and above], allowing policyholders to choose any room category. The inclusion of wellness benefits adds practical value, often missing in some plans.

However, the plan operates on a single sum insured shared among all family members, which can limit individual coverage if multiple members require treatment simultaneously. While it covers a wide range of daycare procedures and offers wellness benefits, the policy has disease-wise sub-limits, domiciliary cover is covered up to 20% of SI, and has a standard waiting period of 3 years for pre-existing conditions, which may be restrictive for some families.

In addition, premiums for this plan are generally 5-10% lower than comparable family floater plans, making it a cost-effective choice for basic to moderate family health coverage.

Pros

Feature set is satisfactory.

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.

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.

Customisable

Choose a co-payment between 10% and 25% to reduce premiums.

Room Rent

Your insurer won’t let you stay in a room whose rent exceeds 1.5% of the sum insured for Class A (big cities) and 1.25% for others. If it’s an ICU they’ll bump it to 2.5% of the sum insured for Class A (big cities) and 2% for others. And in the event you breach these limits, then you’ll have to pay a lot more.

Customisable

Modifies the room rent restriction to Any Room.

Disease sub-limit

Your insurance cover won’t be fully available in case you are treated for modern treatments and a few other diseases. Meaning the insurance company has a cap on the total amount they’ll pay out if you are treated for these specific illnesses.

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