How does Cumulative Bonus Clause under Care Supreme Work?
Cumulative bonus is a benefit offered by most of the health insurers to their policyholders for not claiming insurance in a policy tenure. The offer is usually available as an increase in the current sum insured or discount on the premium to be paid next year. Care Health Insurance under its Care Supreme plan also offers cumulative bonus up to 50% per year, maximum up to 100%.
However, what steals our attention is Care Supreme’s 500% Cumulative Bonus Super benefit, which is an optional cover. It works as an extension to the basic cover where you can claim 100% flat in your sum insured, maximum up to 500%. This is the only plan in the market with this higher amount of cumulative bonus. The most amazing feature is that in the event of a claim the accrued bonus remains intact or no deduction in bonus is applied. However, the accrued cumulative bonus super can only be utilised for the benefit under the category ‘Hospitalisation Expenses’ and Road Ambulance Cover’.
