Experts Review

Senior Writer

Niva Bupa’s ReAssure 2.0 Bronze+ is an innovative health insurance plan that excels in offering financial security through its "ReAssure Forever" feature, which ensures unlimited reinstatement of the sum insured for multiple claims within the same policy year. Its "Booster+" benefit adds further value by transferring unused coverage to the next policy year (maximum up to three times the base sum insured). The absence of room rent restrictions enhances flexibility during hospitalization, while coverage for modern treatments like robotic surgeries reflects its adaptability to evolving medical technologies.
That said, the plan has certain drawbacks. The insurer’s high complaint rate (43 per 10,000 claims) raises concerns about customer satisfaction during claims processing. At the same time, the plan premiums may escalate significantly for higher sum insured options.
Pros
Offers a wide range of features.
Great pick if you're looking for something affordable.
Insurer has a solid track record with great claim and service metrics.
Cons
Doctor consultations are not covered, which is a notable gap. Need to opt add-on for doctor consultations.

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 180 days after discharge. This includes the cost of medication by the way.
