TATA AIG

TATA AIG

Medicare LITE

This is a basic health insurance policy from the TATA AIG stable. The plan offers a list of staple features and has nothing unique. On the other hand, the plan has a few caveats that can’t be overlooked if you are in the market for a comprehensive policy - room rent restrictions (up to a single private room) and a 20% mandatory copayment (if the policyholder is 61 years or above during purchase).

What's good here?

coPay

You most likely don't have to split the bill

If you bought this policy after you turned 61, you have to pay 20% 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.

diseaseSublimit

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.

restoration

Good Restoration Benefit

Even after you claim part of the cover on one occasion, you will have 100% of the cover restored, so that you can use this benefit in the event you have to endure multiple hospitalizations.

Special Bonus for being healthy and not claiming insurance

Your sum insured increases by 50% 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.

domiciliary

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.

prePost

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

dayCare

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.

healthCheckup

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.

You can pick a Single Private room but nothing fancy
