Bharti AXA Life Triple Health Insurance plan | Compare | Apply
Bharti AXA plan provides coverage for up to three times the sum insured in the policy, while covering the three diseases. The premium is suppressed by the insurance company after payment of the first serious illness. But it comes with some riders.
Bharti AXA Life Insurance has launched the plan of his “triple win” of a serious disease, called the health insurance plan triple. This plan covers 13 major diseases that have been classified into three groups. The policy pays the sum assured (SA) in the diagnosis of disease. The policy continues and you can pay for other diseases as they are in other groups. The maximum coverage for three diseases.
As with all insurance plans offered by different actors in the insurance industry also has its advantages and disadvantages. The benefits include:
- The plan offers cover of a maximum of three times the SA under the policy. This is a distinctive feature of the product, as other critical illness policies end, once the claim is paid for a single critical illness.
- Future premium payable by the policyholder is waived. The policy continues as the policyholder is still covered for illnesses under the remaining two groups.
- Premium rates are guaranteed for the first three policy years.
However, the plan does suffer from a few shortcomings.
- The product will not pay a claim if the diagnosed critical illness falls in the group under which the policy has already paid out. Group ‘A’ includes conditions like heart attack, coronary artery bypass, kidney or heart transplants, kidney failure and paralysis. Group ‘B’ has coma, multiple sclerosis, liver or lung transplants.Group C covers cancer, benign brain tumours and bone marrow transplants.
- There has to be a gap of 365 days between the diagnoses of two illnesses for the subsequent claims to be admissible.
- The product is available for customers with no pre-existing illnesses at the time of application.
- The total policy and premium paying term is 15 years—which is unlike most critical illness products, which have lifelong renewal.
