Royal Sundaram Health Insurance Plan

Looking at the healthcare inflation cost coupled with the lifestyle disease epidemic, health insurance is needed to help you pay for health care in the event of an unexpected illness or injuries. Health insurance covers medical uncertainties and ensures quality medical treatment at the time of need.

You can buy 2 years or 3 years policy in Lifeline. You get a discount of 7.5% for 2 year policy tenure and 12% for 3 year policy tenure.

Your ideal sum insured or total coverage would highly depend on factors such as your current age, lifestyle, medical history, income and place of residence. Looking at the medical inflation, most of our customers prefer a health insurance policy with a sum insured of 5 lacs and above.

• Initial Waiting Period is the cooling period applied at the start of new policy. This waiting period is not applicable for renewal policy or portability policy. Only Accidents are covered in the Intial Waiting period.
• Pre Existing Disease waiting period is the waiting period applied for any of the existing disease customer is suffering from. It might vary from 4 years in Classic to 2 years in Elite Plan. With each policy year, the pre existing disease waiting period reduces by 1 year. Any claim related to pre existing disease hospitalization will not be covered in the policy during waiting period.

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.

Absolutely! With employee health cover the major drawbacks come in picture when you leave your job that's when your policy goes out of action and exposes you to health risks. Your new employer may or may not cover you sufficiently. Also, having your own policy means a better buying decision and complete control to buy a cover which suits your requirement from time to time.

Under cashless hospitalization, the insured person does not settle the hospitalization expenses at the time of discharge from hospital. The settlement is done directly by us for treatment that the insured person is eligible to receive under the terms of his/her policy. This is for your convenience. However, it is important to note here that prior approval is required from us before admission into the hospital. 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. However, in case of emergency hospitalization, you can obtain approval post-admission. Please note that the cashless facility is available only at our Network Hospitals.
