Max Bupa

Aspire Platinum+ is an extremely feature rich variant within Niva Bupa's Aspire stable. It's very similar to Diamond+ in that it has some very cool features like age lock, Fast Forward, Future Protect, and Cashbag (as described below). But the big difference is that it extends maternity benefits with a waiting period of just 9 months as opposed to 24 months in Diamond+. Also the plan is fairly affordable. Which begs the question - Will the aggressive pricing mean that Niva Bupa has the tough task of paying out ever larger claims while also managing to keep prices low. Can they do it? We don't know.

What's good here?

You’ll never have to split the bill

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.

You always have full cover irrespective of the disease

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.

Carry forward your unutilized cover

Every year the policy will calculate the unutilized base cover and transfer it to the next year. So if you started with 10 lakhs and you made a claim totaling 2 lakhs, the remaining 8 lakhs will be added to your cover next year and you will have 18 lakhs (10 lakhs base cover + 8 Lakhs unutilized base cover as bonus) for the next year. This will continue until your cover totals 4x-11x the base sum insured depending on your entry age.
