3 good reasons why you should opt a Hospicash cover

Posted: July 24, 2020

It will be good to have an Insurance which extends daily allowances to cover your extra expenses.

Having a health insurance with appropriate Sum Insured value will help you in getting treatments covered. But, it does not cover your 100% cost of treatment and all related expenses.

Hospital Cash Benefit Cover, either as an additional benefit under a health insurance policy or a separate cover will give you daily cash allowance for a specified period during hospitalisation.

Due to the following reasons, it is best to have an additional hospicash cover:

  1. Certain deductions in health claims are standard.
  2. If you exceed your Room Rent limits, proportionate deductions are applicable in your claims.
  3. You will always have other expenses related to your hospitalisation like costs of travel, food for attenders, etc.

Hospital Cash Benefit cover will extend you daily allowance to cover the expenses as stated above.

You have to understand how insurance is fundamentally designed to serve you before you buy. You will also know why and how a fair comparison of premium vs coverage/benefits is important before you decide to buy.

  2. Unforeseen Events – The promise holds good only for those events or group of events, which are specified/named in the insurance policy. It is normally called as a set of benefits or coverage clearly spelt out in the insurance policy.
  3. Terms and Conditions – And the Promise will be honored subject to a list of terms and conditions mentioned in the insurance policy. The standard terms, conditions and exclusions (those which are not covered) will be detailed in the ‘Policy Wording’.
