It provides coverage for various medical services, including advanced treatments, donor expenses, hospital stays (excluding suites), unlimited sum insured reset benefit, domiciliary hospitalization, and unlimited teleconsultation. On the other hand, the MaxProtect Premium plan stands out with its rich set of features, including global coverage, access to air ambulance services, and a distinctive claim protector feature. MaxProtect goes beyond standard coverage to provide a comprehensive and advanced level of protection. Coverage ranges from 1 Crore to an impressive 10 Crores, with an unlimited option available. Annual premiums start at just Rs. 9,367 for 1 Crore under floater policy for 2 adults, equivalent to approximately Rs. 26 per day, making it accessible to a broad range of customers. Notably, MaxProtect preserves the accrued no-claim bonus, which remains with the customer even in case of future claims, ensuring ongoing peace of mind throughout the insurance term.
Shaped by extensive consumer insights garnered through Consumer Research conducted by ICICI Lombard, MaxProtect seamlessly adapts to changing health insurance preferences. Fueled by surging medical costs, early-onset lifestyle ailments, and individual experiences, customers demand amplified coverage. Formerly content with Rs 10-20 lakh amounted policies, they now seek 50 lakh or more. Indian health insurance buyers prioritize value, anchoring choices in meticulous price-benefit analysis.
In this context, Indian health insurance buyers now prioritize value-focused decisions, making thorough cost-benefit assessment a central part of their choices.
