FAQs

Is this cover band an insurer rule?

No. It is a planning benchmark, not underwriting guidance. Hospital network, room limits, exclusions, co-pay and restoration benefits also matter.

Why project medical inflation?

A sum insured that looks adequate today may buy less hospital care later as treatment costs rise.
