Reliance HealthWise- Silver

Objective

An online health insurance policy that aims at covering hospitalisation medical expenses and other incidental expenses in case insured person gets hospitalized.

Our View

A positive factor is that it has no sub-limits and no capping on expenses. Only drawback is that it doesn't allow lifelong policy renewal. Old age is the time when the chances of falling ill increase. Buying a new policy at higher age is tough and expensive as well. Preference should be given to the policies that offer lifelong renewal facility.

Ambulance expenses and health check up are covered too.
