Frequently asked questions: Critical Illness Insurance in Kolhapur
How much critical illness cover should I hold in Kolhapur?
Three to five times annual income is a practical benchmark. For a Rs 12 lakh earner in Kolhapur, Rs 40-50 lakh is realistic.
Is critical illness insurance needed if I have mediclaim in Kolhapur?
Yes. Mediclaim pays the hospital. Critical illness cover pays your lost income, caregiver costs and EMIs during treatment, which mediclaim does not.
Will my claim be paid at any hospital in Kolhapur?
Critical illness is a benefit policy paid on diagnosis, not on hospital bills, so the hospital network does not matter. What matters is that the diagnosis meets the policy definition.
How many illnesses should a good plan cover?
The count matters less than the definitions. Compare how cancer severity, heart attack by troponin threshold and stroke by permanent deficit are worded, since that is what decides whether a claim is paid.
When is the money paid?
On confirmed diagnosis of a covered condition at the specified severity, after the survival period of usually 14-30 days, and after the 90-day initial waiting period from policy start.
Is a critical illness rider on a term plan good enough?
It is a cost-effective start and much better than no cover. Standalone policies generally offer broader definitions, higher sums and portability independent of the term plan.
