Pre-existing disease coverage

Group Mediclaim policies cover all kinds of pre-existing diseases. Medical benefits are provided to all the employees despite having any pre-existing disease. This can help both employee and employer, where if the employee needs to hospitalize, financial support can be provided by the policy itself.

Immediate claim benefit immediately after being included in group insurance policy

In the case of health insurance, one can take the benefit of the policy only after a span of 30 days. However, in case of accidents within that span of time, one can avail of the benefits of the medical policy. But in Group medical policy there is no such period. Employees can immediately avail benefits after being included in the policy. This can help an employee who needs immediate hospitalization and can also save the employer from any kind of financial hassle when the employee gets unwell within a month of joining.

Maternity benefit right from the beginning

Inclusion of family members from the age group of 3 months to 80 years

In group medical insurance policies you can include family members right from the age of 3 months to up to a maximum of 80 years. While many insurance policies do not allow a fresh applicant beyond 60 years of age, the employee here can get a benefit to include his/her dependent parents who might not be having insurance.

In-laws also can be included

Employee’s in-laws can enjoy the same benefit as other family members of the employee. However, it solely depends on the decision of the employer and limitations in benefits provided by him.
