What does it do?
It is the third and most comprehensive variant of Easy Health policy from Apollo Munich. It is an all-inclusive policy that covers maternity expenses, newborn baby, out-patient dental treatment and provides daily cash benefit for an adult accompanying insured child. There is also an optional cover for Critical Illness which will pay a lump sum amount on confirmed diagnosis of any of the listed illnesses. Critical Illness cover will attract additional premium from policyholder. Maternity benefit and out-patient dental treatment will be covered only after the waiting period.
