A Sneak-Peek Into The Plan’s Benefits and Limits

The Bajaj Allianz Health Guard Plan covers expenses related to inpatient hospitalisation. This includes costs incurred when you are hospitalised for more than 24 hours, such as room and boarding fees, nursing charges, fees for medical practitioners, expenses for prescribed medicines and drugs, charges for intensive care units (ICU), and other relevant costs.

Besides these, it also covers the following expenses -

  • Pre & Post Hospitalisation Expenses Coverage

    If the doctor needs to perform multiple diagnostic tests before or after your discharge, the Bajaj Alliance Health Guard Plan has got you covered. Your insurer will handle the costs for these tests and other pre- and post-hospitalization costs, up to the sum insured mentioned in your policy, for a reasonable duration - 60 days before your hospitalisation and within 90 days after your discharge. It is crucial to understand that the insurer will only cover these expenses if they are directly associated with the medical condition for which you are hospitalised. And, your claim must also be approved as part of your inpatient hospitalisation coverage.

  • Daycare Treatment Coverage

    These are medical procedures or surgeries that used to require a prolonged hospital stay in the past. However, due to cool advances in medical technology, these procedures can now be done within 24 hours - allowing for shorter recovery time. The Bajaj Allianz Health Guard Plan provides coverage for a comprehensive list of 399 different daycare procedures. Importantly, this plan does not impose any limit on the coverage for these treatments. This means that all costs associated with these treatments will be completely taken care of up to the sum insured.

  • Organ Donor Coverage

    The Bajaj Allianz Health Guard Plan offers coverage for expenses incurred by organ donors up to the sum insured. This includes the costs of harvesting the organ from the donor for transplantation (where the insured is the recipient).

  • Modern Treatments Coverage

    The healthcare industry is constantly changing and improving due to technological advancements, allowing for the development of modern treatments. The Bajaj Allianz Health Guard Plan is tailored to adapt to the latest innovations, ensuring coverage for expenses related to such treatments, up to the specified sum insured.

  • Cumulative Bonus

    The Cumulative Bonus benefit allows you to receive a bonus if you refrain from making any claims in a policy year. With Health Guard by Bajaj Allianz, this benefit is exclusively available with the gold or silver plans. By selecting one of these plans, your sum insured will increase by 10% for each claim-free year for 10 years and up to a maximum of 100% of your base sum insured. However, if you file a claim in the future, the accumulated cumulative bonus will be reduced by 10%.

  • Sum Insured Reinstatement Benefit

    This benefit is activated when your sum insured, along with any accumulated Cumulative Bonus or Super Cumulative Bonus, is depleted due to unexpected medical costs. This benefit ensures that 100% of your base sum insured is reinstated, providing you with an extra layer of protection for the remaining policy year. Please note that this benefit can only be used once per policy year, and it is applicable only if the entire sum insured and any applicable bonus have been fully utilised.

  • Room Rent Limit

    The room rent limit refers to the maximum amount covered by your insurance company for the hospital room where you are admitted. If you choose a room that is within the limit set by your insurance plan, you will not have to pay any additional costs. However, if you decide to stay in a room that has a higher rent than what is allowed under your plan, you will face a proportional deduction. This means that you will be required to pay a proportionate portion of the total bill, rather than just the difference in the cost of the room.

    However, with Bajaj Allianz Health Guard, you have the freedom to choose any type of room you prefer, whether it's a shared room, single private AC room, premium room, suite, or any other available option. Since the insurer does not impose any restrictions on the cost of the room, you can select based on your personal preference without any concerns.

  • Financial Limits On Treatments/Diseases

    Expenses associated with cataract treatment are limited to 20% of the sum insured per eye per policy year under Silver and Gold variants. There is a maximum limit of Rs 1 Lakh under the Gold variant for cataract surgery.

    Bariatric surgery is also subject to sub-limits.

    In the Silver plan, it is restricted to 25% of the sum insured.

    In the Gold and Platinum plans, it is limited to 50% of the sum insured up to a maximum of Rs 5 Lakhs.

The specific coverage details can be found in the terms and conditions of the plan.

Everything About Waiting Periods

It's important to keep in mind that there may be certain illnesses and diseases that are not covered immediately after the policy is issued. This period, referred to as the waiting period, is a specific time frame during which you are unable to make claims for particular conditions. However, once this waiting period comes to an end, you will be eligible to file claims for these conditions.

Waiting periods can vary in duration and can be categorised into different types based on various factors -

  1. Initial waiting period:There is a 30-day waiting period for all medical conditions, except accidents. This means that you cannot make a claim for medical treatments within the first 30 days unless it is due to an accident.

  2. Waiting period for pre-existing diseases: A pre-existing disease is defined as any medical condition or illness that you have had in the 48 months prior to the issuance of a health insurance policy. In the Bajaj Allianz Health Guard Plan, there is a waiting period of 36 months for pre-existing diseases. This means that during this period, the policy will not cover any expenses associated with your pre-existing conditions.

  3. Waiting period for specific diseases: Insurers typically have a predetermined list of medical conditions or illnesses, separate from your pre-existing conditions, that have a waiting period. It is important to note that this waiting period applies regardless of whether you have had these diseases before or not. Bajaj Allianz Health Guard Plan has a waiting period of 24 months for specific diseases.
