Health insurance has become an indispensable necessity in today’s times. People are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of health insurance policies. While most people understand that a health insurance policy covers unexpected in-patient medical emergencies, certain expenses can go beyond hospitalisation. These expenses are categorised as Post-hospitalisation expenses.
While almost every health insurance policy offers coverage for post-hospitalisation expenses, some excel when the benefits are extended. One such policy is Care Supreme, offered by Care Health Insurance. This policy has the edge over many others and has 180 days post-hospitalisation coverage.
Let us delve deeper into post-hospitalisation coverage and its importance in today's healthcare scenario. But first, let us understand the meaning of post-hospitalisation in Insurance.
What is Post-Hospitalisation Coverage?
As the name suggests, post-hospitalisation cover refers to the medical expenses an individual incurs post-discharge. For example, doctor consultations, medicines, follow-up treatments, diagnostic tests, etc. These expenses are covered when:
- They are incurred during a specified number of days immediately after discharge
- They are incurred for the same medical condition for which the hospitalisation was required.
Post Hospitalisation Cover in Care Supreme
It is common to see the hospitalisation costs extend far beyond the hospital's confines. They encompass various expenses like doctor’s consultations, diagnostic tests and medications. Considering the expensive nature of these costs, comprehensive financial planning is crucial.
While most health insurance companies typically offer 60 to 90 days of post-hospitalisation coverage, with Care Supreme, we extend the coverage for 180 days. With this feature, you can ensure adequate financial protection beyond the hospital stay.
Let us take an example: Ravi Mishra, a 32-year-old hotelier, had to undergo knee surgery after his car accident. His Care Supreme Plan covered his 7-day stay in the hospital. As Ravi was admitted to a network hospital, the bills were paid by Care Health Insurance directly to the hospital. He was very happy that the long hospitalisation did not dent his savings. However, he was prescribed medication and physiotherapy for the next two weeks. His doctor also told him he would have to come for follow-ups every 15 days for the next three months.
While Ravi was quite happy with his treatment, he knew that the impact of his injury would extend long after leaving the hospital. He was a little concerned that the long post-hospitalisation care would be a costly affair.
Thankfully, his Care Supreme policy offered him post-hospitalisation coverage of 180 days. Ravi continued to receive necessary care without bearing any excessive financial burden. The policy provided comprehensive support, aiding in a smoother and more holistic recovery process for him.

What Makes the Care Supreme Post Hospitalisation Coverage so Essential?
Below mentioned are a few features that make Care Supreme's post-hospitalisation coverage unique and essential:
Increased Coverage
Most health insurance plans offer much smaller post-hospitalisation coverage, typically 60 to 90 days. With Supreme, however, you get coverage for almost six months. This increases the coverage manifold. Your out-of-pocket expenses decrease significantly. Such a long coverage period can help you deal with numerous conditions that may have a longer recovery.
Moreover, Care Supreme also offers an extended pre-hospitalisation cover of 60 days. Pre-hospitalisation is also a crucial aspect of medical treatment. Several formalities and procedures need to be carried out before the actual hospitalisation. Pre-hospitalisation generally includes doctor consultations, diagnostic tests like CT Scans, X-rays and medicines, etc.
Protects Your Savings
In some cases, the post-hospital bills can be as much as or even higher than the hospitalisation itself. Care Supreme allows better coverage, helping you avoid digging into your savings.
Peace of Mind
When you know you will get post-hospitalisation coverage, you can concentrate on the treatment rather than worrying about the bills.
Let’s Conclude
Hospitalisation can be expensive. Apart from the in-hospital costs, you must bear numerous expenses before and after the hospitalisation. Care Supreme can be the ideal partner to help you manage expenses from treatment to full recovery. The 180-days post-hospitalisation coverage feature makes it an ideal health insurance plan.
