ManipalCigna ProHealth Prime: All your medical investment needs now just a click away

A health insurance that protects your present and accumulates enough for those unforeseen circumstances. ManipalCigna ProHealth Prime is a complete healthcare plan which provides great coverage within your budget.

The ManipalCigna ProHealth Prime provides you with three options - Protect, Advantage and Active. The product is not just limited to these three options, but you can also customise your coverage with optional packages and covers.

What makes ManipalCigna ProHealth Prime Plan so unique?

The medical diaspora is an expensive one. Most health insurance plans in the country can guarantee many things while doing the paperwork, but they fall flat when the emergency arises. The ProHealth Prime plan is unique that way with round the clock consultation services.

Let us understand the advantages of this plan in details:

1. Cashless OPD coverage from a wide network of doctors, diagnostic centres and pharmacy
2. Covers all non-medical expenses which are generally not covered in most of the insurance plans
3. Provides you with an advantage to avail treatment in any room of your choice including suite or even higher category room.
4. Unlimited sum insured restoration:
   If opting for the ProHealth Prime plan, it is ensured that your sum insured for the year can accommodate any number of claims within the same policy year. It allows unlimited sum insured restorations even for the same illness, which means your sum insured gets a refill if sum insured left is insufficient to pay next claim.
5. Premium waiver benefit:
   The plan covers a lot of other tools to deal with any contingency (which is enlisted in your plan), where the premium for the next renewal year's coverage can get waived off under the said terms and conditions.
6. Second opinion and teleconsultations:
   Guidance and consultation are another brilliant addition here. You can always avail a domestic second opinion on all the 36 types of medical conditions, critical and regular, the plan covers. These consultations are with specialists and can be accessed even via app.
7. Switch your health plan “off”:
   The ProHealth Prime plan offers a unique 'switch off' feature where you can halt your coverage for upto 30 days when you are travelling out of India. That doesn't mean your policy has lapsed. It's just a temporary arrangement which is a rare benefit any health insurance forum provides. If you choose the 'switch off' option, you also receive a discount on the premium when renewing the policy.
8. Coverage for the people suffering from Diabetes, Hypertension, Dyslipidemia, Obesity and Asthma and that too immediately after 90 days without any long PED waiting period.
9. Optional packages:
   The optional packages are where you can accumulate all the benefits of various covers into one. You do not have to break the bank to get the medical expenses covered here.

Now that we have had understood the gist of all the benefits of what the plan offers overall, let's shift focus to the three variants - their benefits, limitations and who should opt for what programme under the ProHealth Prime plan:

1. Active plan

This plan is the specialized offering, for an individual (not a family floater coverage), which offers a sum insured upto Rs. 15 lakh and basic coverage benefits, which include only a 90-day pre-existing waiting period for conditions like diabetes, hypertension, asthma, obesity and dyslipidaemia. It's again rare to find such an option since PED waiting periods for such conditions generally range from 2 years to 4 years.

Other benefits include short waiting period of 24 months for other pre-existing. It also provides convalescence benefit of Rs. 30,000 if you opt for a sum insured amounting to Rs. 5 lakh and above given the condition that you have been hospitalised for atleast 10 days and more.

For you to enroll under this plan, you have to adhere to some rules and regulations, which you must enquire before opting for the variant. The Active variant has a Single Private Room category for sum insured 5 lacs and above, However, the same is capped if the sum insured is below Rs. 5 lakh. The sum insured restoration is available for unrelated medical conditions. The plan comes with expert managed wellness program to keep you in control of your health. However, you may replace this with free health check-up once every three years.
