Plan Highlights

Medicare Premier is a premium plan built for those who want comprehensive coverage including international treatment.

International Treatment Cover

Medical treatment outside India for serious conditions is covered, a rare inclusion that sets Medicare Premier apart from most domestic plans.

Air Ambulance Included

Air ambulance charges for emergency evacuation are covered in the base plan — no additional rider required, unlike most competitors.

Organ Donor Expenses

Covers the medical expenses of the organ donor incurred during the harvesting procedure, reducing the financial burden of transplant surgeries.

Critical Illness Lump Sum

On diagnosis of a listed critical illness, a lump sum payout is made in addition to hospitalisation coverage — dual protection.

Premium Waiver on CI Diagnosis

If you are diagnosed with a critical illness, future premiums are waived while the policy continues in full force. This is an exceptional benefit.

Home Healthcare

Post-discharge home healthcare is covered when recommended by a treating doctor, supporting continued recovery without readmission costs.

NCB up to 100%

Cumulative no-claim bonus builds year over year up to 100% of the base sum insured, rewarding policy holders who stay healthy.

Room Rent: Single AC Only

The room rent limit is capped at a single AC room. Upgrading to a higher category results in proportional cuts across all hospital charges.
