Choosing between two health insurance plans? The differences are not always obvious.
ICICI Lombard Elevate and IndusInd Health Infinity are both strong health insurance plans, but they are built around different strengths and priorities.
Elevate gives you the freedom to customise your cover extensively. From room category upgrades to maternity waiting period reduction and an unlimited sum insured option, almost everything can be tailored to your needs.
Health Infinity takes a more straightforward approach. It comes with built-in additional cover over your base sum insured, no room rent restrictions, and a simpler overall structure. It offers two options for cover limits and waiting periods. On the other hand, while the cover limit remains fixed, the waiting period can be customised by paying an additional premium.
On core hospitalisation, both plans hold up well. Modern treatments, daycare procedures, and organ donor expenses are covered without sub-limits on both sides. The claims experience is where the picture gets mixed for both.
IndusInd has fewer reported claim complaints, but both carry high claim rejection ratios that cannot be ignored. ICICI Lombard clearly leads in claim settlement speed. And the elevated incurred claim ratios, especially IndusInd at nearly 97%, raise fair questions about pricing sustainability over time.
Both plans come with their own strengths and trade-offs, which are reflected in their overall ratings. Understanding these nuances is key before making a decision.
