ICICI Lombard News

ICICI Lombard has recently launched a health plan named Complete Health Insurance with the aim of competing with the newer companies in the Indian insurance scenario. The policy promises a base sum insured amounting to INR 10 lakhs, which is higher than before. It also offers the following benefits:

Outpatient department (OPD) cover
Maternity benefit
New born baby cover
Personal accident cover
Reimbursement of preventive care costs
Reimbursement of wellness expenses

This policy does not have a maximum age for renewal - something that is pretty similar to the other new policies available in the Indian insurance market. The following add on covers are available in the program:

Critical illness-donor expenses cover
Hospital daily cash allowance - convalescence benefit

In the critical illness-donor expenses cover the insured is paid a stipulated lump sum for treating a critical ailment. In case of a transplant surgery the organ donor is compensated as well under this cover.

In the second cover the insured receives a previously fixed amount for each day of hospitalization and also when he or she is recovering. However, these benefits are only available in specified cover pairs.

In addition to this, the policy provides coverage for nursing costs incurred at home till a maximum limit of INR 3000 on a daily basis. It also provides an upper limit of INR 20,000 for the air travel of an immediate family member in economy class. This is provided if the insured is in the hospital for more than 5 days.

If the insured choose sub-limits they will receive discounts on their premiums. They can also renew the policy every year or on a bi-annual basis. The program provides income tax benefits as per Section 80D but only for years when the premium payment is done.
