ProHealth Accumulate

ProHealth Accumulate is a good policy. It covers most bases. It doesn't have outrageous conditions, it pays for emergency treatments when you're abroad. and offers cover for outpatient consultations. However considering they include the outpatient benefit, it's much more expensive than ProHealth Protect - another similar policy from the Manipal Cigna stable.
