If you ever exhaust your health cover due to claims in a given year and there is a further claim either by you for a different illness or your insured family member, we will reload the entire sum insured of your policy at no extra cost. Reloaded sum insured will help you to settle those claims. Reload of Sum Insured is triggered when the claim amount exceeds the available sum insured including the NCB for a different illness or different person. Restore will not be triggered for second claim (of different illness or different person) of Rs.1lac and only Rs.50,000 will be paid. Whereas, Reload will be triggered and entire Rs,1lac will be paid).
Lifeline offers 10% of Sum Insured upto a max of 50% of Sum Insured for Classic Plan and 20% of Sum Insured upto a max of 100% for Supreme and Elite plan. Unlike NCB offered by other policies, there is no penalty in case of claim. Thus NCB earned by you remains as is even if you claim. For eg, if you have a policy with SI of Rs.5lacs (Supreme Plan) and there has been no claim in the first year, then at the time of renewal you will get a NCB of 20% (Rs.1lac). In second year, if you claimed then on second renewal your NCB of Rs.1lac will remain intact and it will not be reduced.

In some cases, you may have to pay for all or part of the treatment if it is not fully covered under the terms of the policy.
