The following are the salient features and benefits of Star Health Optima Plan.
You Always Have Full Cover Irrespective of the Disease:
Nothing amusing is going on. You may file a claim for the whole amount up to the sum covered, regardless of the ailment you are currently dealing with, if your insurer hasn’t expressly indicated they won’t cover a certain illness. The feared disease-wise sub-limits are not imposed by this strategy.
Covered pre- and Post-hospitalization Expenses:
No need to worry if the doctor has to do several diagnostic tests before or after admitting you to the hospital. You are supported by the insurer. For a fairly acceptable period—60 days before you are hospitalized and 90 days following discharge—they will pay this sum in full. By the way, this also covers the price of the medication.
Some Restoration Benefit:
If you are hospitalized once again to attempt to treat a new issue, even after you have already claimed a portion of the cover on one occasion, you will have 100% of the cover returned. By the way, it was the same year.
Day Care Treatments Covered:
The insurance will also reimburse these expenses if you stay in the hospital for fewer than 24 hours instead of having minor surgery. Consider minor operations, chemotherapy, or dialysis.
Bonus For Staying Healthy and Avoiding Insurance Claims:
If you don’t file any claims during the first year, your total insured rises by 25%. However, you only receive this lavish advantage for the first year. After that, it will increase by 10% annually until your bonus cover equals 100% of the amount covered. Consequently, if you begin with a cover of 100. It will then continue to expand until it reaches 200.
Free Health Checkups Every Year:
The insurance will pay for the expense of a full body checkup if you intend to do so annually to ensure that you are in excellent working shape.
Comprehensive Coverage Even if You Have To Stay in a Home Hospital:
Even if you need to be hospitalized at home because of an illness or the hospital is overcrowded, the insurer will cover the charges. This is referred to as a policy with domiciliary cover in insurance jargon.
Emergency Domestic Medical Evacuation:
The expense of an emergency medical evacuation to move the insured from one hospital to another would be covered by the policy if the insured needs to switch hospitals. This expense would be covered within certain parameters. Depending on the value insured selected, the coverage limit ranges from 5000 to 10,000 Indian rupees.
Additional Insurance Coverage Against Traffic Accidents:
The total insured under the policy would be enhanced by 25% of the basic sum insured for additional claims in the event of hospitalization following a road traffic accident. The most that could be raised would be 5 lakhs of Indian rupees.
Cumulative Bonus:
The sum insured will grow by 25% in the following policy year if you select a sum insured of INR 3 lakhs or more and you don’t file a claim in the first policy year.
