United India Health- Senior Citizen Policy

Objective

This health insurance policy is designed for senior citizens and provides hospitalisation expenses incurred due to an illness or accident.

 

Suited for

Any person between 61 and 80 years of age, looking for insurance up to Rs 3 lakh can enter this policy.

 

What does it do?

It covers expenses of hospitalisation, treatment taken at home on advice of doctors, day care treatment which does not need overnight hospitalisation. There exists a co-payment clause which requires the insured person to bear 20 per cent of the admissible claim amount.

 

Pros

Premium paid is eligible for tax benefit under section 80D of the Income Tax Act.

 

Cons

There are sub-limits on room rent, boarding and ICU charges. Co-payment clause in case of major illnesses is another drawback. It offers a maximum cover up to Rs 3 lakh only.

 

Our View

It offers basic coverage to senior citizens with co-payment clause and sub-limits. When buying insurance for elderly, you cannot escape such clauses as most senior citizen policies come attached with these. You should prefer a policy with least exclusions and low waiting period to cover an illness.
