      A Mediclaim differs from a health insurance in some ways. While the former covers expenses pertaining to hospitalisation, the latter is more comprehensive and covers medical expenses which might include services beyond hospitalisation.

       

      In layman terms, for filing a Mediclaim, an actual hospitalisation has to take place and for filing a health insurance claim, a medical eventuality is required which necessarily does not mean that an actual hospitalisation has to happen. A normal Mediclaim policy will cover expenses arising out of hospitalisation.

      The minimum age at which a Mediclaim can be applied for is 5 years and the upper age limit is 60 years. Mediclaim draws a staunch line and does not cover dental expenses, cosmetic surgeries, pregnancy, childbirth or sexually transmitted diseases.

      Mediclaim for Senior Citizen:

      With the ever-rising healthcare costs, senior citizen mediclaim policy for the elderly is a wise idea. Generally, the entry age for senior citizen health insurance is 61 years and many insurance providers limit the entry age to 69 years. Thus, sooner you get a Mediclaim policy, better the benefits would be. The chances of the policy getting rejected would also be less. After a two-year waiting period, cover for pre-existing diseases will also be offered.

      The cover for alternative medical treatment methods like Ayurveda and Homeopathy can be added to the policy plan as add-ons. The premium of senior citizen Mediclaim is generally high since the entry age is high and the premium amount varies according to the pre-existing disease. Some companies offer life-long cover for senior citizens while others may not require medical tests until the age of 69, based on some terms and conditions.

      A few policies for senior are: Optima Senior - Apollo Munich, Heartbeat - Niva Bupa (Formerly known as Max Bupa), Silver health plan - Bajaj Allianz, Senior Citizen Red Carpet plan - Star health and Senior citizen Mediclaim policy - New India Assurance.

      New India Assurance Health Plans:

      This company is a public sector general insurance provider. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Indian government and offers various customisable policies ranging from health to fire and machinery.

      New India Assurance Senior Citizen Mediclaim Policy:

      To understand the importance of a senior citizen health plan, let us take an example.

      You and your spouse are busy with work and your father, who is a senior citizen, is all alone in the house with just a caretaker to help him out during the day. He has a stroke all of a sudden that leaves him partially paralysed. He has to be hospitalised for a couple of months to get him back on his feet. Naturally, this will put a tight leash on your expenses as hospitals aren’t exactly inexpensive.

      These are the times where a plan like senior citizens Mediclaim comes to the rescue. With a senior citizen mediclaim, you’d neither have to compromise on the quality of the treatment nor have to worry about your finances.
