Star Health introduces Smart Health Pro as a digital and customizable health insurance product

This product is poised to revolutionize the approach individuals use to obtain comprehensive health insurance. This policy gives customers the flexibility to customize their insurance through the inclusion of five optional add-ons that are tailored to their specific needs, ultimately giving them more control over their policies.

• Unlimited automatic restoration sum assured: The selected sum insured will be topped up an unlimited number of times, up to a maximum of 100 percent each time. This renewed Sum Assured is available for use in subsequent hospitalizations. The rollback function is activated after partial or full use of the coverage limit. The returned sum insured can be used for all claims, including subsequent hospitalizations.
• Cumulative bonus enhancement: Earn 50 percent of Sum Assured for every no-claims year, with a maximum accumulation of up to 600 percent of Sum Assured.
• Setting the room category: The insured has the option to upgrade or downgrade the room category from a private air-conditioned single room to any room or shared accommodation.
• Shortening the grace period for pre-existing diseases: The insured has the possibility to reduce the waiting period for existing diseases from 48 months to 36/24/12 months.
• Inclusion of non-medical items in coverage: Normally excluded from insurance, items categorized as non-medical items, which fall under consumables, will be eligible for payment with this new optional cover. This applies when there is an eligible claim under the policy for inpatient or day care treatment.
