FAQs on Health Wallet Health Insurance Plan

  • How does Reserve Benefit work?

    There is a coverage limit on Reserve Benefit under the plan. This benefit covers the OPD expenses incurred by the policyholder on consultations, diagnostic tests, medicines, etc. After the end of the policy year, if the Reserve Benefit coverage is not utilised in full, the unused amount is carried forward to the next year. This accumulation continues every year there is an unused balance. Moreover, 6% bonus is also added on the carried forward balance. The accumulated balance can then be used to pay the premium or for OPD expenses.

  • What is the multiplier benefit?

    Multiplier benefit is a no claim bonus which is allowed if no claim is made in a policy year. For every claim-free year, the sum insured increases by 50% and, therefore, doubles after two claim-free policy years.

  • What are the eligibility requirements of buying the plan?

    Individuals aged 91 days and above and up to 65 years can buy the plan. Children aged 91 days to 5 years are allowed coverage only when either parent is insured under the plan

    The policy offers lifelong renewals without a maximum limit on exit age.

  • What are the waiting periods under the plan?

    There is an initial waiting period of 30 days after buying the policy during which illnesses suffered would not be covered. Thereafter, specific ailments like hernia, cataract, etc. are covered after a waiting period of 2 years. For pre-existing illnesses, the waiting period is 3 years.

  • What is the limit of coverage on ambulance costs?

    Ambulance costs are covered for up to Rs. 2000 per instance of hospitalisation.

  • What is AYUSH Treatment?

    AYUSH treatments mean treatments taken under non-allopathic medical practices like Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy.

  • Are medical check-ups required before buying the policy?

    Pre-entrance medical check-ups might be required depending on the age of the insured and the sum insured opted for. If the tests are conducted and the policy is accepted by the insurance company, the cost of the medical check-ups would be reimbursed fully.
