Chola MS Individual Health

Objective

A basic health insurance policy that provides for hospitalisation expenses along with a choice to avail extra cover by paying additional premium.

 

Suited for

Any individual upto 55 years can buy this policy. It also covers dependent parents upto 65 years of age.

 

What does it do?

Besides hospitalisation expenses, it covers pre and post hospitalisation expenses and ambulance charges to carry patient to and from hospital. Some illnesses do not require an overnight stay in hospital. 141 such treatments known as day care procedures also fall under its ambit. Other supplementary benefits such as health check-up, eye examination and daily cash allowance to meet incidental expenses in case of hospitalisation are also available for an additional premium.

 

Pros

There are no sub-limits under hospitalisation benefit.
It pays a no-claim bonus on an annual basis.
It offers a protection as high as Rs 10 lakh.
Policy premium qualifies for taxation benefit under section 80D of Income Tax Act.

 

Cons

In event of claim, cumulative bonus will be reduced by 10 per cent during subsequent year.

 

Our View

Being a basic health insurance policy, it only covers hospitalisation medical expenses. Look for another policy if you want cover for risks such as personal accident, critical illness, and other treatments such as domiciliary treatment.
A major drawback is that this policy can be renewed only up to 69 years of age. When policyholder outlives the maximum policy renewal term, he will have to purchase a new policy which could be a herculean task as no insurer wants to insure a high risk life.
