Star Health Gain Insurance

Objective

This policy aims to provide for both, inpatient and outpatient treatment.

 

Suited for

Anyone between 5 months and 60 years can be covered under this policy. It can be bought either on an individual basis or as a floater for family.

 

Pros

This policy can be bought online. Premium paid towards the policy qualifies for deduction under section 80D of Income Tax Act.

 

Cons

It extends the cover only up to 60 years of age.
Constant premium leaves no choice of selecting a higher or lower OPD cover.

 

Our View

Before buying, one must know the limit of outpatient benefit and inpatient cover under the policy. Though the premium remains same, the coverage is modified to justify the premium cost of Rs 15,000. Also, the outpatient cover is pre-decided by the insurance company that decreases with age due to an outflow of same premium. Hence one should ensure the adequacy of cover while taking such a policy.

 

What does it do?

It covers outpatient treatment along with hospitalisation expenses. Outpatient treatment includes dental treatment, prenatal and postnatal care expenses. Pre-existing diseases that are denied inpatient cover for initial four years, are covered for outpatient treatment from day one.
The policy charges same premium from individuals or family floater policies irrespective of the family size. Instead of changing premiums, the policy modifies the cover under each policy. There is a cap on maximum outpatient benefit that can be availed by a policyholder and other insured members (in case of floater policy) during a policy year. It also covers pre and post hospitalisation expenses and ambulance charges.
