How does the plan work?

Step 1 – the policyholder chooses the Sum Assured and the members covered.

Step 2 – the policyholder can also choose the critical illness extension by paying an additional premium.

Step 3- If the covered member (s) face any medical contingency and the related expenses are covered by the plan the expenses incurred are paid by the plan.

Step 4 – if the plan matures and no medical contingencies occur, cumulative bonus is paid which increases the Sum Insured without increasing the premium.

Example

Harish buys the Wider plan for a Sum Insured of Rs.5 lakhs. He also opts for the critical illness rider.

Option 1 – Harish suffers kidney failure and is prescribed regular dialysis. His plan pays the critical illness benefit which he had opted for.

Option 2 – if the plan matures and there were no complications, the Sum Insured would increase by 5% and become Rs.5.1 lakhs.
