Benefits of Choosing a Health Insurance Cover with a Health Booster

Medical inflation has resulted in expensive diagnostic services and treatments, with the rate of inflation considered at around 15% in India. Add the risk of lifestyle diseases to the mix and you have all the makings of a potential medical liability.

Consider that you have a health insurance policy of ₹2.5 lakhs. While this can help you and your family tide over a minor hospitalisation, it will not be able to cover additional expenses for surgery or any treatment required for serious illnesses. Moreover, the base health cover is usually ridden with exclusions and sub-limits that restrict the claim pay-out for specific type of treatments.

This is where super top-up plans come to the rescue. It takes care of excess payment resulting from hospitalisation and medical treatments. It covers you for the amount above your deductible limit (deductible limit is an amount which you need to pay out of your pocket in the event of a claim) thus allowing you to avail the best healthcare solutions for your family. This plan enhances the sum assured and allows individuals to seek cover for aggregated claims in a year.

So build a formidable health plan by adding the Health Booster Top-up to your base plan. Even those who don’t have an existing health policy can opt for Health Booster.
