Star Medi Classic
Objective
An online health insurance policy which aims to protect insured member(s) from expenses incurred on treatment taken as an inpatient along with several other benefits available for extra price.
Our View
This is a good policy that also covers non-allopathic treatment. Policyholders can customise the policy by adding supplementary benefits. For instance, patient care benefit pays a daily cash amount for nursing charges, which is useful.The only drawback is the capping on room rent and boarding. Even though it does not offer a lifelong policy renewal, 80 years is a long enough tenure.
