Additional Benefits of Bajaj General Women's Critical Illness Health Insurance Plan

We provide an extensive cover against critical illnesses for women along with various other benefits:

Low Premium 

You can avail low and age-agnostic premium amounts.

Tax Saving 

Avail income tax benefit under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act.*

*On opting for Women-Specific Critical Illness Insurance policy, you can avail Rs 25,000 per annum as a deduction against your taxes (provided you are not over 60 years). If you pay a premium for your parents who are senior citizens (age 60 or above), the maximum health insurance benefit for tax purposes is capped at Rs 50,000. As a taxpayer, you may, therefore, maximise tax benefit under Section 80D up to a total of Rs 75,000, if you are below 60 years of age and your parents are senior citizens.  If you are above the age of 60 years and are paying a medical insurance premium for your parents, the maximum tax benefit under Section 80D is, then, Rs 1 lakh.

What is the Waiting Period/Survival Period?

The policy includes a waiting period of 90 days from the commencement date, during which no claims for critical illnesses are accepted. After diagnosis, the insured must survive for at least 30 days to be eligible for the benefit amount. This survival period ensures that the insured receives adequate financial support for treatment and other related expenses. Renewals within the grace period of 30 days ensure continuity without losing accrued benefits. This waiting and survival period is crucial for maintaining the policy's integrity and ensuring that it serves its purpose effectively.

Critical illness coverage and a health insurance policy serve distinct purposes despite some overlap in healthcare coverage. Women's health insurance for critical illness coverage is designed to provide a lump sum payment upon diagnosis of specified severe illnesses listed in the policy. It aims to financially support individuals during critical health crises, offering flexibility in how the payout can be used for treatment costs, lifestyle adjustments, or other needs.

In contrast, health insurance policies typically cover a broader range of medical expenses, including hospitalisation, surgeries, medications, and preventive care. They focus on overall healthcare management, addressing routine and emergency medical needs rather than solely catastrophic events like critical illnesses. Each type of health insurance plays a crucial role in safeguarding individuals' health and financial well-being, addressing different aspects of healthcare expenses and risks.

When purchasing a critical illness policy, several crucial factors demand consideration to ensure comprehensive coverage:

● Firstly, the illnesses covered should be assessed to align with personal health risks.

● Evaluate the sum insured against potential treatment costs and lifestyle needs during recovery.

● Understand policy exclusions and waiting periods to manage expectations during claims.

● Consider premium affordability and renewal terms, including lifetime renewability options.

● Lastly, review the insurer's claim settlement process and customer support reliability to ensure prompt and hassle-free assistance during critical times.
