Review of New India Assurance - Senior Citizens Mediclaim Policy
New India's Senior Citizen Mediclaim policy is a tailor-made product that covers you against medical costs due to specific critical illnesses, ailments, injuries or accidents. With useful features like a complimentary health checkup, no claim bonus and an option to include Diabetes and Hypertension from day one is what makes the policy unique. On a flip-side, a limit on the room rent and sub-limit on some of the procedures along with a co-payment clause can be a bit discouraging.
