  • Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q. Can a newborn baby be covered under health insurance from Day 1?

    Yes, these days specialised maternity health insurance policies extend coverage to new-borns from their first day of life up to 90 days. Such a maternity insurance policy covers critical initial care, in-patient hospitalisation, and treatment for birth complications.

    Q. What happens to newborn health insurance after 90 days?

    After completing the initial 90 days, your infant can transition smoothly from the newborn policy and be officially added as a dependent to a standard family floater health insurance policy by paying the applicable premium.

    Q. Why is health insurance coverage important during the first 90 days of a baby's life?

    The first 90 days are a critical developmental stage where infants are more vulnerable to infections, respiratory conditions, or premature delivery complications. Newborn coverage ensures immediate access to pediatric care and NICU facilities without heavy out-of-pocket costs.

    Q. How does cashless treatment work for newborn hospitalisation?

    Cashless treatment allows the insurer to settle eligible medical and hospital bills directly with network hospitals. This eliminates the need for parents to pay upfront during emergency admissions or handle manual reimbursement claim paperwork.
