It also covers children below 18 years if either parent is a policyholder.

The online and paperless claims process is also easy to manage and supported by a dedicated health claims management team.”

The policy coverage is applicable only if the insured member(s) is/are diagnosed with and hospitalised solely for, Covid-19 after an initial 15 day waiting period.

The cover has travel and pre-existing health condition exclusions, the company noted.

The Covid-19 cases in India crossed 42,000-mark with death toll climbing to 1,373.

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) recently directed insurers to provide group and individual insurance cover, following revised guidelines issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
