Detailed review

Pros

  • Secure Benefit adds 200% of base cover, so a 10L policy starts with 30L of usable cover
  • No room-rent cap: room and ICU at actuals
  • 180-day post-hospitalisation window

Cons

  • Minimum sum insured is Rs 10 lakh, so the entry price is higher than Optima Secure
  • 36-month pre-existing disease wait unless you buy the modification
  • Entry age is not stated in the policy wording; confirm it on the proposal form
