Health Insurance (COVID-19 Covered)*

Start Your Health Insurance Journey Today!

Health insurance policy is a product that protects you against the financial implications of a wide variety of health-related expenses, ranging from those caused by minor illnesses and injuries to critical diseases. Therefore, health insurance plans and the cumulative Bonus serve as a protective financial shield for you should you be faced with a major medical expense.

Selecting a suitable medical insurance is difficult yet incredibly important for you to have a sufficient degree of preparedness against any sudden and, in some cases, expected medical expenses. Imagine a scenario wherein you are diagnosed with a serious medical condition that requires consistent treatment, hospitalisation, and/or surgery.
Or simply take the example of the spread of COVID-19 in India and imagine the various expenses you may have to look after if diagnosed with a COVID-19 infection

In such a situation, you would not want to let your medical bills dig a massive hole in your savings or be faced with a financial crisis to pay said bills, will you? Hence it is pivotal to buy a suitable health insurance plan, choose the right sum insured, pay the applicable premium and get insured at the earliest, and we can help you with that.

Why Do I Need Health Insurance?

There is so much unpredictability encompassing one's health and it is almost impossible to have any control over health-related expenses. However, after getting insured with a suitable health insurance plan, you can exercise some degree of control and gain some security vis-a-vis your and your family’s health care expenses.
The question 'why you need health insurance' can be answered in countless ways, and here are a few of them:

product-img

Changing Lifestyle

With the ever-increasing pressures of modern-day lifestyle, the range of health-related risks we are exposed to has significantly widened in scope. From lifestyle disorders such as obesity and eating disorders to pollution-induced conditions such as asthma, there is no dearth of ailments that can lead to high medical expenses.

In addition to physical illnesses in our life, the constant stress of today's competitive world has led to a substantial rise in mental health issues, which is why it is critical to buy an adequate health insurance plan for yourself and your family.

product-img

Rising Medical Costs

In recent years, the medical inflation in India has not only kept pace with its retail counterpart but exceeded it by leaps and bounds. The cost of medicines, medical examinations, hospitalisation, and surgeries are consistently on the rise. It makes more sense to pay the basic health insurance premium and get insured than shelling out those exorbitant health expenses from your own pocket. Therefore, it is critical to get yourself insured with a health insurance plan to help you stay financially secure during and in the wake of a medical emergency.

product-img

COVID-19 Cover

The state of the world over the better part of the past two years is nothing short of unprecedented. With the multifaceted impact of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, it is more crucial than perhaps ever before to buy a suitable health insurance plan. The Tata AIG health insurance benefits include a cover for Coronavirus.

product-img

Tax Benefits

Not only does health insurance safeguard you from the financial ramifications of a medical crisis but it also provides you significant health insurance tax benefits. Whilst the premiums paid for health insurance plans for senior citizens are eligible for tax deduction to the extent of ₹50,000, those for individuals below the age of 60 years have a tax deduction ceiling of ₹25,000 under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, 1961. #Please note tax benefits are subject to change in Income Tax laws.

Includes a Cover for Pre-existing Diseases

Most health insurance plans comprise a cover for pre-existing illnesses; however, this cover usually gets activated after the expiration of a waiting period. Therefore, if you want immediate cover for a pre-existing illness, you must select a health insurance plan with a short waiting period. The Tata AIG health insurance benefits include a cover for pre-existing illnesses after the expiration of three years of the plan's tenure.

Provides Cashless Treatment

With the facility of cashless medical insurance, the process of handling a medical emergency has become somewhat easier. With our network of 11,000+ hospitals across the nation, you can access cashless treatment without having to file a health insurance claim and wait for the reimbursement of your bills.

Covers Ambulance Expenses

With regard to ambulance expenses, the Tata AIG health insurance plans have got you covered. Therefore, you need not worry at all should you need emergency transit to a hospital. We are available to provide the required assistance to you 24x7x365. You can reach out to us on 1800-266-7780. We are also a WhatsApp text away at +91-9136160375.

Covers Pre-hospitalisation and Post-hospitalisation Expenses

A health insurance plan covers the medical expenses incurred due by you in the wake of pre-hospitalisation and post-hospitalisation. Once you are insured under the Tata AIG MediCare Health Insurance Plans, your predetermined sum insured covers the medical bills generated 30 to 60 days before your hospitalisation and 60 to 90 days following your discharge from the hospital. The exact coverage shall vary depending on your choice of health insurance plan variant and the premium paid.

Provides the Option of Additional Sum Insured

One of the most important health insurance benefits of a Tata AIG health insurance plan is that you can earn a cumulative 'No-claim Bonus' for every claim-free year, which entails an enhancement in the sum insured under your health insurance plan without any corresponding rise in your health insurance premium. Under our MediCare health insurance plans and variants, you can get a 10 to 100 per cent additional sum insured for each policy year without a health insurance claim as a 'No-claim Bonus'.

Advantages Of TATA AIG Health Insurance

There are several excellent features in Tata AIG's health insurance plans that make it a suitable choice for your health insurance requirements. Some of the significant features of a Tata AIG health insurance policy are as follows:

1

2

Similarly, if you opt for a three-year Tata AIG MediCare health insurance plan, you can benefit from a 10% discount on the cost of the policy.

What is more, is that should you choose our family floater health insurance plan, the higher the number of family members added to the plan, the higher shall be the discount you get on the premium. You can benefit from a 20% discount on the premium for a family floater health insurance plan for two family members, a 28% discount for three family members, and a 32% discount for more than three family members.

How To Buy A Health Insurance Plan?

Selecting a health insurance plan is not as easy as buying groceries or even big consumer items such as refrigerators and washing machines. This decision entails a substantial degree of analysis and the careful consideration of various factors, including your health insurance requirements, the sum insured and the amount you can shell out on health insurance premiums.
Here is how you can get health insurance in a systematic manner.

1

Understand Your Health Insurance Requirements

The first step towards buying a suitable health insurance plan is a thorough assessment of your health insurance requirements and the sum insured you need. If you want to buy health insurance for yourself, you can opt for an individual health insurance plan, whereas if you wish to get medical insurance coverage for your family members, you can consider a family floater policy health insurance plan.

After determining who you want to bring under the coverage of the intended health insurance plan, you must decide on the type and extent of said coverage. In this context, you must take into account your age, medical history, pre-existing illnesses, if any, etc. before finalising the sum insured and plan. You can opt for a critical illness cover to enhance the scope of your health insurance. Furthermore, you can top-up your existing health insurance plan with the Tata AIG Super Top-up Health Insurance Plan.

2

Check Policy Benefits

The next step is to assess and compare health insurance plans to select the best health insurance plan for yourself and/or your family. It is advisable to choose a medical insurance plan that allows you to remove room rent limits, includes a cover for the AYUSH treatment, and offers relevant benefits such as a maternity cover and a critical illness cover. You must also consider adding the relevant add-on covers at additional premiums to make your health insurance policy more comprehensive.

3

Research the Insurers

You would not purchase anything that is even remotely important without adequate research, now, would you? Then why make an exception for something as critical as health insurance?! It is important to compare various health insurance providers and check their key result areas, including but not limited to their claim settlement ratio, the ease of the claims process, cashless hospital network, customer feedback and reviews, and customer support mechanism.

Not only should you research the aforementioned parameters on your own but also consult friends and family to decide which insurer to opt for. Remember that the health insurance plan as well as the health insurance company you select play a crucial role in financially securing you against health-related expenses.

custom list

Age Criteria

While adults over the age of 18 years and within the age limit of 65 years can purchase health insurance plans, the age criterion for dependent children is between 90 days to 25 years. Beyond the age of 25 years, it is best to have health insurance for yourself so that you can avail of a low health insurance premium rate.

custom list

Pre-medical Screening

A pre-medical test or examination is necessary mostly for policy buyers above the age of 45 or 55 years. In the case of most senior citizens health insurance policies, a pre-medical test is compulsory and will influence the policy issuance. However, it is best to buy health insurance when you’re young so that you can benefit from a low health insurance premium cost.

custom list

Pre-existing Diseases

Factors To Consider While Buying Health Insurance

Whilst it is critical to buy health insurance as early as possible in your life, it is even more important to engage in thorough research before selecting a health insurance plan, finalising the sum insured and the amount of applicable premium. Here are some of the main factors you must consider while choosing a suitable health insurance plan for yourself:

custom list

The Sum Insured

You must ensure that the sum insured under the selected health insurance plan is in line with your health insurance requirements, actual and potential alike. For instance, if you have a pre-existing illness, say, diabetes, or have a family history of said ailment, you must choose a plan that covers it.
With the cost of medical treatment rising faster than a stock market ticker on a bullish day, you simply must not settle for less than the optimal sum insured for your health insurance plan. Remember that it can turn out to be quite literally a matter of life and death.

custom list

Waiting Periods

Whilst some health insurance benefits get activated instantly, some others have a waiting period during which they stay mere words on your policy document. Therefore, it is important to check the various types of waiting periods that constitute a part of your health insurance plan.
First things first, there is the initial waiting period of one month during which you cannot file any claims other than accidental claims. Secondly, the waiting period for the pre-existing illness cover to get activated lasts anywhere between two to five years, depending on your policy and the specific illness. Thirdly, the waiting period for the maternity cover part of your policy to get activated is usually four years.

custom list

Network Hospitals

The larger the cashless hospital network of your health insurance provider, the higher is the degree of convenience and flexibility you enjoy with regard to cashless claims. With a network of more than 11,000 hospitals, Tata AIG health insurance has you covered for cashless treatment across the country.

custom list

The Add-Ons & Riders Available

If a health insurance plan has the flexibility for the addition of an add-on rider, it is usually considered a green light as far as the value of the plan is considered. With the inclusion of the required health insurance add-ons, you can significantly enhance the coverage of your health insurance plan with minimal addition to your health insurance premium. It's a win-win situation for you if ever there could be one.

custom list

The Claim Settlement Ratio

You must always get insured with a health insurance provider with a high claim settlement ratio over the preceding few financial years. Since this ratio is one of the key markers of the customer-centricity and claims efficiency of an insurer, a higher ratio indicates a massive go-ahead sign for you.
With a health insurance claim settlement ratio of 96.70 per cent during the financial year 2023-2024, Tata AIG can be the answer to your health insurance requirements.

custom list

Age Limits

There is usually an upper age limit restriction attached to health insurance policies that prevents individuals above a certain age from being able to enjoy a health insurance cover. Similar age restrictions may apply to policy renewals as well. Therefore, it is pivotal to check the policy wordings before selecting your health insurance plan.

Why Should I Purchase Health Insurance When I’m Young?

The earlier in life you take valuable and far-sighted decisions, the better placed you are to handle any contingencies, and buying health insurance is no exception to this principle. There are several advantages of buying a health insurance plan at a young age, some of which have been discussed below.

What Is Waiting Period In Health Insurance?

Typically, there are three types of waiting periods in health insurance. Here are the categories of waiting periods in a Tata AIG health insurance plan.

Initial Waiting Period

During the initial waiting period of your health insurance plan, you cannot file any claims other than those arising out of accidental injuries. This waiting period usually lasts between 15 to 90 days, varying from one health insurance plan to another. If you were to add any newborn children to your existing health insurance plan, this waiting period clause shall apply to them as well.

Waiting Period For Pre-existing Illnesses

The coverage for various pre-existing illnesses in a health insurance plan does not usually get activated immediately upon the purchase of the said plan. There are different waiting periods for different medical conditions and ailments, such as diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid. You must, therefore, check the selected plan to ascertain this waiting period before you make the purchase decision.

Waiting Period For Specific Diseases

The waiting period for specific critical diseases also varies depending on the health insurance plan you select. For instance, the waiting period for cancer shall be different from that for renal failure. Therefore, it is pivotal to carefully peruse the policy wordings.

Waiting Period For Maternity Cover

The waiting period for maternity cover in a health insurance plan is usually four years. Therefore, it is prudent to buy a health insurance plan well in advance of your plans to start a family.

How To Reduce Health Insurance Premium?

Paying a high health insurance premium can become a nightmare if your expenses go out of control. Sometimes, it is the health insurance plan and the coverage that increase your premium payments, and at other times, it could be a potential health risk that is responsible. Either way, you should always try to keep your premiums affordable so that you can continue paying them and your health insurance policy continues protecting you and your family!

Hence, here are some tips to bring down your medical insurance premium:

custom list

Buy your health policy early

As you may know, your age plays an important role in determining your premium amount. And so, if you wait till you get older before buying health insurance, your premiums will also increase. Therefore, purchase a health policy soon and enjoy paying lower premiums.

custom list

Manage your health insurance plan

Choose the optimum sum insured that matches your health insurance needs perfectly. Consider the health conditions, family medical history, nature of medical expenses, medical inflation and quality of health care necessary for your family. Based on that choose the right sum insured. Use a health insurance calculator to get the right premium.

Compare health insurance plans

Always compare all your options before you purchase your health policy.

What is the need for health insurance cover?

People need health insurance to cover medical emergencies that can be very expensive. Given our busy schedules, lifestyle diseases, rising medical costs and expenses, and the very recent COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to have a suitable health insurance policy. Tata AIG’s health insurance policies are designed to provide extensive coverage against medical contingencies. You can also customise the coverage of our plans to suit your needs as well as your budget.

When is the best time to buy health insurance?

Honestly, there’s never a bad time to buy health insurance. Ideally, the younger you are, the better it is for you and your finances. Young individuals are able to purchase health insurance plans that offer a high sum insured for a very affordable premium. Additionally, when you’re young, it’s easy for you to get over the health insurance waiting period without having to worry about too many out-of-pocket expenses.

What is the difference between health insurance and life insurance?

Health insurance and life insurance policies serve two completely different purposes. Your health insurance policy will help you take care of the cost of medical treatment. It provides you with a safety net to fall back on in case you are diagnosed with an illness or require emergency medical support after an accident. Life insurance policies, on the other hand, are typically used as an investment instrument. They provide the insured individual with a maturity benefit at the end of the policy term. The policies are long-term and usually last for 10 or more years. Additionally, these plans offer financial support to the insured individual’s family members. If something happens to the insured during the policy tenure, the nominee is provided with a payout.

Does TATA AIG offer 24x7customer support?

Yes, at TATA AIG, we’re committed to looking after you and your needs. Our health insurance customer service executives are available round the clock. To get in touch, you can call 1 800 266 7780.

Is there any way to get a discount on my premium?

Absolutely! If you’d like to get the same cover at a lower cost, you should explore switching from an individual policy to a family floater. Or, if you’d still like to purchase an individual policy, check if you can get a longer tenure. Single-year health insurance policies cost slightly more than 2- or 3-year policies. Finally, if you do not make any claims against your medical insurance plan for a whole year, you can enjoy a cumulative bonus the following year. Essentially, you’ll get a higher cover without having to pay a higher premium!

Is the health insurance policy valid across the country?

Yes! You can enjoy the same cover no matter where you are in India. We’ve tied up with over 6,200 hospitals across the country, so you can enjoy cashless claims even when you’re out of town.

Will I be covered outside the country?

Understanding Health Insurance Terms

  • AYUSH Today, people may opt for different kinds of medical treatments based on their preferences. All Ayurveda, Yoga and naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy treatments are covered under the banner of AYUSH.
  • Bariatric Surgery Bariatric surgeryis more commonly known as weight-loss surgery. If you are required to undergo bariatric surgery to treat obesity or control your weight, it is covered under our Medicare health insurance policy.
  • Base or Indemnity Plan An indemnity plan refers to a medical insurance policy against which the insurance-provider makes payments based on actuals. For example, let’s say you’ve purchased a plan with a sum insured of INR 5 lakhs. You have to undergo covered treatment and a hospital stay which costs you INR 2 lakhs. If you have an indemnity plan, your insurance provider will reimburse you or settle the amount of 2 lakhs directly with the hospital.
  • Co-Pay If you’d like to lower your health insurance premium, you can opt for co-payment. You can promise to pay a certain percentage of each claim you make against your medical insurance policy, and your insurance provider will take care of the rest. If you’d like your insurance provider to settle the full claim, you can opt-out of co-payment.
  • Cumulative or No-Claim Bonus This is a little reward that your insurance provider offers you for not making a single claim in a policy year. For every year that you do not make a claim, your sum insured will be increased by a certain percentage. For every consecutive claim-free year, the percentage will increase.
  • Daycare Procedures A daycare procedure is any treatment that requires you to be hospitalised for less than 24 hours. For example, a single round of chemotherapy radiation or dialysis falls under daycare procedures. Most health insurance policies offer cover for a wide variety of daycare treatments.
  • Deductible This is a fixed amount that the insured individual has to pay towards their medical treatments before they can file a claim with their insurance provider. The deductible is a fixed amount and not a percentage of the total claim amount. Let’s assume that your deductible is INR 5,000. In a policy year, you undergo treatment worth INR 50,000. You have to pay INR 5,000 before you can make a claim for the balance amount of INR 45,000.
  • Dependent In certain situations, your health insurance policy will extend your cover to certain family members, like your spouse, children or parents. These individuals who are eligible to enjoy cover under your policy are known as dependents.
  • Domiciliary Treatment We understand that not everybody can make it to hospital for treatment. Any medical treatment that you or an insured individual receives at home, under the supervision of a trained medical professional, is known as domiciliary treatment & is available under the domiciliary hospitalization.
  • Free Look Period Once you purchase a health insurance plan, you don’t have to be committed to it. You have the opportunity to cancel or change your insurance provider within a given period. If you opt to cancel your health insurance policy within this specified time, you will not be required to pay any penalty. This time is known as the free look period. Typically, it lasts for 15 days from the date the policy is issued.
  • Pre-Existing Condition If the individual purchasing insurance already suffers from any disease, it is called a pre-existing disease. The individual can purchase their medical insurance policy, but the pre-existing disease will only be covered after a given waiting period.
  • Restoration Benefit The restoration benefit allows you to refill your sum insured if you happen to exhaust it in a single policy year.
  • Riders/Add-Ons Riders or add-ons refer to additional covers that you can add to your basic health insurance policy. For example, you may opt for global cover or personal accident cover in addition to everything else covered by your regular health insurance policy. To enjoy these benefits, you’ll have to pay a slightly higher premium.
  • Room Rent Limit Every hospital has a daily room tariff. If you need to be hospitalised to undergo treatment, your policy will cover the cost of renting the room up to a specified limit. This is known as your room rent limit. At TATA AIG, we allow you to enjoy the best rooms without worrying about any limits. You can opt to purchase a policy without a cap on the room rent.
  • Sum Insured Your sum insured refers to the maximum amount that your insurance provider will pay in a given policy year. It basically reflects the total value of your policy. You can choose your sum insured when you purchase your health insurance policy. But, you should remember that the amount you choose will directly impact your premium.
