Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
What sum insured should I choose for health insurance?
For a family of 4 in a metro, ₹10L is the minimum we recommend in 2026 — hospitalisation costs have risen significantly. Consider a base of ₹5–10L with a super top-up for affordable higher coverage.
What is a super top-up plan and should I get one?
A super top-up kicks in after a deductible (usually equal to your base plan's sum insured). It provides very high coverage (₹25–95L) at a fraction of the cost of a higher base plan. Highly recommended for most families.
What are sub-limits and why should I avoid them?
Sub-limits cap how much you can claim for specific expenses — room rent, ICU, specific surgeries. If your room costs ₹5,000/day but your plan caps it at ₹3,000, you pay the ₹2,000 difference plus a proportional reduction in all related costs. We only recommend zero sub-limit plans.
Can I port my existing health insurance to a better plan?
Yes — IRDAI mandates portability. You retain your waiting period credits when porting. We manage the entire portability process at no cost, ensuring you don't lose any accrued benefits.
Does health insurance cover pre-existing conditions?
After a waiting period — typically 2–4 years depending on the plan. Pre-existing conditions declared at purchase are covered after this period. Non-disclosure is the primary reason for claim rejection — always declare fully.
