Bajaj Allianz Hospital Cash
Objective
A standalone policy that aims at providing a daily cash amount to insured member(s) to meet incidental or additional expenses which are otherwise not covered by other insurance policies.
Our View
This policy may be bought as an add on policy provided the prospective buyer is adequately covered against basic health calamities. Buy only if you feel a real need. There are various insurance companies which have already incorporated daily cash benefit as one of the benefit in their comprehensive policies. So a standalone policy is not required in such cases.
Suited for
This policy can be used as an add-on policy. Anyone aged between 18 and 60 years may go for this policy to enhance the scope of coverage. It can cover a family including husband, wife and dependent children under one single policy.
What does it do?
This is a supplementary policy which pays a cash benefit ranging from Rs 500 to Rs 2,500 upon each continuous and completed stay of 24 hours in a hospital. Daily cash benefit can be availed for a maximum of 30 or 60 days per policy year as opted for at the time of buying the policy. The daily cash benefit doubles if treatment was taken in ICU. This cash amount can be utilized to pay for non-medical expenses such as attendant's food, travel and stay which may remain uncovered even if you have a basic health insurance cover. However, it is solely left at the discretion of insured member as to how to make use of this daily cash benefit.
