When a patient is treated in a network hospital (definition above), ManipalCigna Health Insurance directly settles the bill with hospitals. This is dependant on the claim request being approved by the hospital beforehand. However, there will always be a few items that the insurer is not allowed to pay as per regulation. These will always have to be settled directly with the hospital.

In planned hospitalization the treatment is planned well in advance. The intimation of such hospitalization and authorization from  us has to be taken minimum 48 hours prior to the date of hospitalization. E.g. Cataract, Pace Maker Implantation, Total Knee Replacement, other planned surgeries / treatments  etc.

In Emergency Hospitalization the patient is admitted to the network hospital in an emergency situation, for e.g. severe abdominal pain, accident, heart attack etc. In such event, we should be intimated within 24 hours of admission to the hospital for cashless treatment.

Critical Illness insurance is a policy that pays an amount equal to the sum insured upon first diagnosis of a critical illness covered under the policy.

A basic health insurance policy generally pays hospitalization bills. But will a health insurance be enough if you are diagnosed of a critical illness. To help you tide over such medical exigencies, there are critical illness insurance plans that you should consider. Known as defined benefit plans, these pay you lump sum so that you can pay for the incidents. In that sense these work as income supplements.

Some health insurance plans come bundled with critical illness (as rider or add-on), but a standalone critical illness plan is more comprehensive both in terms of illnesses covered and the amount of cover it offers.

It is a health insurance plan that strengthens your existing plan to give you a higher sum insured and a wider cover to meet your medical expenses. You can take it as an independent policy or as a top up to your existing plan

One can choose between 1 year, 2 years and 3 years term.

In cases where your existing medical cover is not sufficient enough to cover your medical expenses, Super Top Up helps increase the sum insured and provider wider coverage at an affordable premium.

Pre-existing diseases refer to any condition, ailment, injury or illness that you have been diagnosed with or had symptoms of 36 months before taking your policy.

Pre-existing waiting period for ManipalCigna Super Top-Up Insurance Plan is 24 months (as per plan). That means, your pre-existing diseases declared at the time of policy purchase will be covered after 4/3/2 years subject to continuous renewals.

A compulsory co-payment of 20% is applicable on all claims for Insured Persons aged 65 years and above irrespective of the age of entry into the Policy. Co-pay will be applied to the admissible claim amount. For persons who have opted for a Waiver of Mandatory Co-pay the same will not apply.
