Exceptional Features of Star Health Comprehensive plan

The plan is definitely a value for money and is feature-loaded. A little bit expensive for a middle-class family. But I will say that if you’re buying insurance for yourself or your family then buy the best one. Because if you’re admitted to a hospital then the bills are in lacs and not thousands.

  • Auto restoration facility – Meaning if you’ve taken the insurance of 5 Lac then if 5 lacs are exhausted then the insurance is auto renewd for another 5 Lacs.
  • Free Health Checkup – Upto 2000 Rs in a plan of 5 Lac from 2nd year onwards.
  • Hospital Cash of 500 Rs for 1 person for 7 days per occurance
  • Out patient consultation for Dental and Opthal coverage in the continuous block of 3 year of renewal
  • Air ambulane of 2,50,000 per occurance and upto 5,00,000 per policy period
