Star Health introduces Smart Health Pro as a digital and customisable health insurance product; all you need to know

This product is poised to revolutionise the approach individuals take to obtaining comprehensive health insurance. The policy provides customers with the flexibility to tailor their insurance coverage through the inclusion of five optional add-on covers that align with their specific needs, ultimately granting them greater control over their policies.

• Unlimited automatic sum insured restoration: The selected sum insured will be replenished an unlimited number of times, up to a maximum of 100 percent each time. This renewed sum insured is available for use in subsequent hospitalisations. The restoration feature is activated upon partial or full utilisation of the coverage limit. The reinstated sum insured can be utilised for all claims, including subsequent hospitalisations.
• Cumulative bonus enhancement: Earn 50 percent of the sum insured for every claim-free year, with a maximum accumulation of up to 600 percent of the sum insured.
• Room category adjustment: The insured individual has the option to upgrade or downgrade the room category from a private single AC room to any room or shared accommodation.
• Shortening of pre-existing diseases waiting period: The insured individual has the option to decrease the waiting period for pre-existing diseases from 48 months to 36/24/12 months.
• Inclusion of non-medical items in coverage: Normally excluded from insurance coverage, items categorised as non-medical items, falling under consumables, will become eligible for payment with this new optional cover. This applies when there is an admissible claim under the policy for inpatient or day-care treatment.
