Individual Mediclaim Policy
Key Highlights
Coverage Options
Individual medical policies offer a range of coverage options, including hospitalization, doctor visits, prescription drugs, preventive care, and sometimes dental and vision care. Policyholders can select the coverage that best suits their healthcare needs.
Preventive Care
Many individual medical policies include coverage for preventive care services, such as vaccinations, screenings, and wellness visits, often with little or no out-of-pocket cost to the policyholder. This emphasis on preventive care can help individuals stay healthy and detect potential health issues early.
Affordability
While the cost of individual medical policies varies depending on factors such as coverage level, plan type, and individual health status, there are often subsidies or tax credits available to help make insurance premiums more affordable for eligible individuals and families.
Financial Protection
Individual medical policies provide financial protection against unexpected medical expenses. While policyholders may be responsible for deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance, the insurance coverage helps mitigate the overall cost burden of healthcare services.
Portability
Individual medical policies are typically portable, meaning that policyholders can retain their coverage even if they change jobs or move to a different location, providing continuity of healthcare coverage.

Family Floater Mediclaim Policy
Key Highlights
Comprehensive Coverage
These policies typically offer comprehensive coverage for medical expenses, including hospitalization, doctor consultations, surgeries, diagnostic tests, medication, and other healthcare services. The coverage extends to all insured family members.
Cost-effective
Family Floater policies are often more cost-effective than individual health insurance plans for each family member. Since the sum insured is shared among family members, the premium for a Family Floater policy is generally lower than the combined premiums of individual policies for each family member.
Affordability
While the cost of individual medical policies varies depending on factors such as coverage level, plan type, and individual health status, there are often subsidies or tax credits available to help make insurance premiums more affordable for eligible individuals and families.
Coverage for Pre-existing Conditions
Family Floater policies typically cover pre-existing conditions after a specified waiting period, ensuring that family members with pre-existing health conditions are also covered under the policy
Shared Sum Insured
Family Floater policies provide a shared sum insured for the entire family, which can be utilized by any family member covered under the policy. This means that if one family member requires medical treatment that exhausts a portion of the sum insured, the remaining balance can still be used by other family members if needed.
Flexibility
These policies offer flexibility in terms of coverage options and sum insured. Policyholders can choose the sum insured based on their family’s healthcare needs and budgetary considerations. Additionally, they can often opt for add-on covers or riders to enhance the scope of coverage as needed.
Convenience
Managing a single policy for the entire family is more convenient than maintaining separate policies for each family member. It simplifies administrative tasks such as premium payments, policy renewals, and claims processing.
Tax Benefits
Premiums paid for Family Floater Mediclaim Policies are eligible for tax deductions under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, providing additional savings for policyholders.

Critical Illness Mediclaim Policy
Key Highlights
Coverage for Specific Illnesses
Critical illness policies typically cover a predefined list of critical illnesses, which may include conditions such as cancer, heart attack, stroke, organ failure, major organ transplants, and certain types of paralysis, among others. The list of covered illnesses varies depending on the insurer and policy terms.
No Requirement for Hospitalization
Unlike traditional health insurance policies, critical illness policies do not always require hospitalization to trigger coverage. The diagnosis of a covered critical illness is sufficient to initiate the benefit payment.
Tax Benefits
Premiums paid for Critical Illness Mediclaim Policies are often eligible for tax deductions under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, providing tax relief to policyholders.
Lump Sum Benefit
Upon the diagnosis of a covered critical illness, the policyholder is entitled to receive a lump sum payment from the insurance company. This payment is typically made regardless of the actual medical expenses incurred and can be used at the policyholder’s discretion.
Stand-alone or Rider Option
Critical illness coverage can be obtained as a stand-alone policy or as a rider/add-on to an existing health insurance policy. When added as a rider, critical illness coverage supplements the basic health insurance coverage by providing additional financial protection against specified critical illnesses.

Top Up Mediclaim Policy
Understanding the Differences Between Top-Up and Basic Health Insurance
Top-up health insurance plans cover almost all hospital expenses, similar to a basic health insurance plan. The main difference is that top-up plans are more affordable because they include deductibles—an amount you need to pay before the plan starts covering costs.
If your basic health insurance reaches its coverage limit, you can file claims under both the top-up plan and the primary health plan. You can even make claims with different insurance companies, each paying a part of the total claim.
It’s important not to confuse a top-up plan with a rider benefit. Rider benefits, like personal accident cover, hospital cash allowance, or critical illness cover, only provide coverage for specific conditions. You can only buy a rider with a main insurance plan. In contrast, a top-up plan can be purchased separately, regardless of whether you have a main plan.
Key Highlights
Coverage Beyond Threshold Limit
Top-Up policies come into effect once the medical expenses exceed the deductible threshold specified in the primary health insurance policy.
Flexible Deductible Options
Top-Up policies typically offer flexibility in choosing the deductible amount, allowing policyholders to tailor the coverage to their specific needs and budget. Higher deductibles usually result in lower premiums, while lower deductibles may lead to higher premiums.
Tax Benefits
Premiums paid for Top-Up Mediclaim Policies are eligible for tax deductions under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, providing tax relief to policyholders
Cost-effective
Top-Up Mediclaim Policies offer a cost-effective way to enhance the coverage of an existing health insurance policy. Instead of purchasing a higher coverage limit for the primary policy, which can be expensive, individuals can opt for a Top-Up policy with a lower premium, covering only expenses that exceed the deductible.
No Claim Benefit
Some Top-Up policies offer a no-claim benefit feature, where if no claims are made during the policy period, the deductible amount is waived off for the subsequent policy period. This incentivizes policyholders to maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid minor claims.
