Family Health Optima plan by Star Health is one of the best sellers of the company. It is a classic Family Health Insurance plan, which is perfectly designed to cover all the members of the family (proposer, spouse, dependent children from 16 days to 25 years) under a single policy.
Apart from being an affordable plan, it shells out a wide range of coverage options against multiple diseases and comes out with useful additional benefits. The policy also allows its customers to maintain personal health records in an electronic format.
Family Health Optima Insurance Plan is a one-stop for all your health insurance needs. Read along to know several benefits that this plan offers to its policyholders:
The insured person will get coverage against the following-
The plan covers pre & post-hospitalization expenses incurred up to 60 & 90 days respectively.
This benefit is available 3 times at 100% (each time) during the policy tenure. Each restoration will start only after the exhaustion of the earlier one.
If the insured suffers an injury/illness/disease and requires medical treatment for a period exceeding three days, the plan will cover its expenses.
In case the insured requires an organ transplant, the plan looks after their expenses (cover up to 10% of the sum insured or Rs. 1 lakh, whichever is less).
For every claim-free year, the insured can undergo health check-ups and its costs are covered by the plan (according to its TnCs). Such check-ups should only be done at the network hospitals associated with the company.
Get the cover for your child from the 16th day after birth and subject to a limit of 10% of SI or Rs. 50,000, whichever is less. For this, the mother should be covered under the policy for a continuous period of 12 months.
The plan will reimburse the amount (up to the policy limits) incurred against the transportation of the insured person from the treating hospital to another hospital for further treatment.
If the insured is undergoing treatment for a life-threatening emergency far away from their home, the plan will reimburse the air transportation expenses (up to Rs. 5,000) for one immediate family member (other than a travel companion).
The plan is liable to reimburse up to Rs. 5,000 towards the cost of repatriation of the mortal remains of the insured person to their residence.
If the insured undergoes treatment in one of the suggested network hospitals of the company, 1% of basic SI (up to Rs. 5,000) is paid lump-sum per policy year. This is only applicable if you choose the sum insured of Rs. 3 lakhs and above.
The expenses associated with shared accommodation are also liable to get the coverage up to certain limits, provided 24 hours of stay is completed.
The policyholder is liable to avail of a medical second opinion from a doctor in the insurer's network of medical practitioners.
A bonus of 25% of the expiring basic sum insured in the second year and an additional 10% for subsequent years (maximum 100%) are allowed for every claim-free year. This is only applicable if you choose the sum insured of Rs. 3 lakhs and above.
