Our View
Sub-limits on room rent and boarding is a drawback. The policy allows renewals only upto 80 years of age which is a major limitation. Old age is an age when the risk of ill health is maximum and health insurance becomes crucial. Buying a new policy at that age becomes a Herculean task. You should prefer policies that offer lifelong renewal facility.
