What is Medical Insurance?
Medical Insurance provides for hospitalization and surgical expenses incurred due to accidents or illnesses covered under the policy.

How does renewal work?
The policy is renewable at the option of the Policyholder. If there is no claim incurred in the first year of policy inception, we will not impose any exclusion upon you on the subsequent renewal in the later years. The renewal premiums payable is not guaranteed and it is subject to age banding and portfolio premium revision. If there are claims incurred within the first year of policy inception, you would still qualify for the renewal, subject to exclusions or premium increases.
