Instant Cover Plus is Here with No-Wait PED Coverage!

Care Health Insurance is launching a new add-on benefit, Instant Cover Plus, under the Ultimate Care Senior plan. 

We recently introduced a powerful new upgrade in our flagship senior plan, Ultimate Care Senior. Now we are presenting Instant Cover Plus, with zero waiting and maximum protection. 

It’s designed to help seniors access their PED-related claims more quickly, so they can get the coverage they need from day one, rather than waiting 3 years with other health insurance plans.

What is Instant Cover Plus?

Under other health insurance plans, pre-existing diseases (PEDs), such as Diabetes, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Obesity, and Coronary Artery Disease with PTCA done prior to 1 year, usually require a mandatory waiting period. This means that even if you purchase a policy, claims for these conditions won't be eligible until after 3 years of continuous coverage. But Instant Cover Plus has changed it. With this benefit, coverage for PEDs begins on the first day of the policy, enabling you to access coverage for pre-existing diseases from the start.

Why is Instant Cover Plus a Game-Changer for Senior Citizens?

Many senior citizens in India worry about the long waiting periods for pre-existing diseases (PEDs) when buying health insurance. Conditions such as Diabetes, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Obesity, and Coronary Artery Disease with PTCA done prior to 1 year are prevalent among those over 60. However, even after purchasing a plan, they often face a 3-year wait before they can claim expenses related to PEDs.
