Your family’s health is your most cherished treasure, isn’t it? However, managing healthcare for everyone can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s where a family floater health insurance plan steps in to simplify things.

We provide a back-up Sum Insured which is 100% of your Sum Insured amount. How does Sum Insured Back Up work? Suppose your policy Sum Insured is Rs. 5 lac. You make a claim of Rs.50,000. Digit automatically triggers the wallet benefit. So you now have 4.5lac + 5 lac Sum Insured available for the year. However, one single claim, cannot be more than the base Sum Insured as in the above case, 5 lac. .
No claims in the Policy year? You get a bonus -an additional amount in your total sum-insured for staying healthy & claim free!

Co-Payment means a cost sharing requirement under a Health Insurance Policy that provides that the Policyholder/Insured will bear a specified percentage of the admissible claims amount. It does not reduce the Sum Insured. This percentage depends on various factors like age, or sometimes also on your treatment city called zone based copayment. In our plans, there is no age based or zone based Co payment involved.

To understand how Family Floater Health Insurance works, let's consider the example of Mr. Aditya's family. He wanted to buy a family health insurance that provides coverage for each family member. So, he purchased a Family Floater Policy with a sum insured of INR 10 lakhs.
Here are the family members' details of Mr. Aditya:
One day, Aryan falls ill and requires hospitalization for a medical condition. The total medical expenses incurred during his treatment amount to INR 2 lakhs.
The family has a coverage of INR 10 lakhs. Since Aryan's medical expenses amount to INR 2 lakhs, the insurer covers this expense from the shared sum insured. After Aryan's treatment, the remaining sum insured of INR 8 lakhs is available for the medical needs of other family members, including Mr. Aditya, Mrs. Ruchi, Riya and even Aryan again (if the requirement arises).
