Niva Bupa Criti Care Plan

Overview

CritiCare, a plan that gives health and financial protection to you and your family against 20 critical illnesses!

Critical illness can be a threat to life and a family's financial security. To protect your finances in such times, Niva Bupa has developed the CritiCare Critical Illness plan, which provides coverage against 20 listed critical illnesses.

Consider the following data:

According to the Global Burden of Disease Research, medical conditions, including heart-related diseases and strokes, resulted in 2.5 million fatalities in India in 2019, disproportionately affecting the younger generation. Similarly, cancer has become one of the top five causes of untimely deaths in India, with a projected increase to 29.8 million in 2025 from 26.7 million in 2021, according to ICMR statistics. As a result, it is crucial to be aware of these life-threatening diseases and take preventive actions.

Note: This report is quoted from a credible BFSI article.

The Niva Bupa CritiCare Policy is designed for individuals diagnosed with any of the listed 20 critical illnesses, protecting their savings from being depleted by expensive medical treatments. However, if a critical illness is diagnosed before purchasing the policy, it is considered a pre-existing condition and is covered after a waiting period of 4 years.
