New India Floater Mediclaim Health Insurance

About the New India Floater Mediclaim Health Insurance

Looking for separate insurance policies for all the members of your family might be a tough process. You would have to research, compare diverse policies for different family members, and read all the terms and conditions for each policy. This can be a lengthy process considering you would need to repeat these steps for all of the members of your family. 

Rather, why not go for a Mediclaim policy that covers all of your loved ones under a single sum insured? A floater Mediclaim health insurance will help you to do this. Such a policy will allow you to be free from dealing with the hassles associated with having multiple policies such as renewing each of them at the end of the year. You would only have to read and remember the terms, network hospitals, and other important information related to one policy. If you are planning to buy your policy through agents, you would also be saved from the hassle of talking and deliberating with multiple agents. All of this and more is now possible with the New India Floater Mediclaim Health Insurance.

    At first glance, you may notice that the policy is very comprehensive and inclusive. This policy is made to protect you and your loved ones against unexpected hospitalization expenses.

Other features include coverage of hospitalization charges in the event of organ transplant, newborn baby coverage, hospital cash, critical care benefit, etc., all under certain limits and terms. 

    Apart from these, a noteworthy feature of the policy is its coverage of critical illnesses. We all know diseases like heart attack, kidney failure, and cancer are becoming increasingly common these days. Having a policy that not only covers you but also your entire family against such illnesses can prove to be very helpful.

    Another convenient feature of this policy is that it does not force you to make a choice between covering either your life partner, dependent children, or elderly parents. It is to be noted that the policy has a minimum limit of 2 members and a maximum limit of 6 members allowed to be covered under a single policy. This means that you can easily insure all of your loved ones under a single policy. This is not just limited to your parents, spouse, or children. The policy also allows the proposer to cover their siblings or ward if they are dependent on the proposer. Similarly, employers can use the policy to cover their employees.

    • One of the special benefits of this Mediclaim policy is that it can cover your children from 3 months up to 25 years of age, till they are dependent on you.

    • The next benefit of the plan will especially sound good to all those who have life partners or parents that might need or feel more comfortable with other sorts of treatment systems. You don't have to worry if say, your parents only trust an ayurvedic cure. This plan makes sure that this is not a problem by allowing you to get up to 25% of the Sum Insured in such cases. To avail of this, make sure you only get admitted to an AYUSH hospital. Then, the plan will help you with your bill, covering for your ayurvedic, homoeopathic or Unani treatments. 
    • When we said this plan covers your family, we truly meant it. This is because the plan can not only cover your elder children up to an age limit but can also cover your newborn baby!

Truly, having a baby is a beautiful experience that stays with you for your entire lifetime. But this time can also be a little difficult for some parents because of some sudden situations. To protect yourself and your baby, this plan can cover your baby against all the illnesses or injuries covered under the plan. But it is very important to remember that the newborn baby will not be automatically covered when you renew your policy unless you add them to the plan.
