Star Health
Assure
Star Assure is a modest plan with reasonable features. The benefits include an in-born maternity cover and protection for Assisted Reproduction Treatment. However, the downside is that many of the benefits (including room choice and pre-existing condition waiting periods) depend on the sum assured you choose. If you want comprehensive coverage, then you will likely have to pick a cover of 50 Lakhs and above, which in turn makes it expensive.
What's good here?

Coverage for expenses related to assisted reproductive treatments
Think hospitalization expenses incurred while opting for assisted reproductive procedure like IVF, etc. But they’ll only pay between ₹1Lakh and ₹4Lakh and make you wait 2 years before covering this expense. Also, you’ll only get the benefits if both, you and your spouse are enrolled in a single-family floater plan.

You most likely don't have to split the bill
If you bought this policy after you turned 61, you have to pay 10% of the bill every time you make a claim. Otherwise, you are good to go. The insurer will pay all costs up to the sum insured.

Pre & Post hospitalization expenses covered
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.

Day Care treatments covered
If you’re hospitalized for less than 24 hours in lieu of a minor procedure, then the insurer will cover these costs too. Think dialysis, chemotherapy or minor surgeries.

Free Health Checkups every year
If you’re planning on getting a full body checkup every year just to make sure you’re in fine working condition, the insurer will cover the costs.

Covers Alternative Medicine
Think of getting Ayurvedic, Homeopathic or other alternative treatments to cure an illness? Your insurer will cover you fully, up to the sum insured.
![diseaseSublimit](/static/93da39f0f25a303549a8c756a92f36f8/da848/SubLimit.png)
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.

Unlimited Restoration Benefit
Even after you claim part of the cover on one occasion, you will be allowed to claim the full cover any number of times repeatedly if you are hospitalized in the future. All in the same year by the way!!!

Special Bonus for being healthy and not claiming insurance
Your sum insured increases by 25% each year, so long as you make no claims during this period. But before you get too ahead of yourself, do note that they’ll stop offering you the bonus when your sum insured increases by 100%. Also, the bonus amount will reduce at same rate each time you make a claim. But hey, it's still a bonus.

Full coverage even if you are forced to hospitalize at home
The insurer will bear the costs even if you are hospitalized at home due to a condition or the hospital running out of beds. In insurance lingo, they call this a policy with domiciliary cover.

Maternity benefits offered
The insurer will also cover expenses related to maternity— Think hospitalization expenses incurred while giving birth. But they’ll only pay upto 10% of base cover and make you wait 2 years before covering this expense. Also, you’ll only get the benefits if both, you and your spouse are enrolled in a single-family floater plan.
What's bad here?

Restrictions on the rooms you can pick and much more
Your insurer won’t let you stay in a room whose rent exceeds 1% of the sum insured. But in the event, you breach this limit, get ready to pay a lot more.
