Features of Arogya Rakshak policy:

• The Arogya Rakshak policy is different from the regular comprehensive health insurance in terms of method of payment reimbursement.
• Generally, the comprehensive health policies reimburse the actual cost incurred on the medical treatment, up to the limit of the sum insured.
• On the other hand, the Arogya Rakshak policy pays a lump sum benefit equal to the sum insured irrespective of actual medical treatment costs.
• Individuals can insure themselves (as the principal insured), their spouse, all children, and parents under one policy.
• The policy is available for principal insured/spouse/parents aged between 18 and 65, and children of age 91 days to 20 years.
• The cover period available for principal insured/spouse/parents is up to 80 years, while the same is available for children up to 25 years only.
