A no room rent capping in a health insurance means that you can choose any hospital room you want during your treatment i.e. there is no maximum room rent limit.
You can pick any hospital room you want for treatment, or for the ICU (if needed) as long as your total claim amount is up to your sum insured.
Let’s understand this better with some context.
So, what happens when one is admitted into the hospital for a treatment, is that there are usually a range of hospital rooms available to choose from during admission. Typically, most health insurers give you a limit up to which you can pick your hospital room and ICU room.
For eg: There are a range of hospital rooms like a double room, deluxe room, luxury room, etc with a different room rent of each.
Pretty much like how hotel rooms work! Many health insurers give you a room rent cap in your policy, including a cap on ICU room rents as well.
Let’s make this simpler for you to understand, with an illustrative example, of being admitted in a Zone B city like Bangalore for 4 days, with the assumption that you have a basic health insurance of Rs 3 lakhs, and your health insurer includes a room rent cap of up to 1% of your SI, i.e. Rs 3,000/day.
Digit Health Insurance with No Room Rent Cap | Other Insurance with Room Rent Capping | |
Sum Insured | ₹3 Lacs | ₹3 Lacs |
Room rent cap | No room rent cap | 1% of your sum insured i.e. ₹3000 |
No of days Hospitalized | 4 | 4 |
Room rent for private ward (per day) | ₹5000 | ₹5000 |
Total room rent charged for 4 days | ₹20000 | ₹20000 |
Room rent covered by Insurer | ₹20000 | ₹12000 |
You pay | ₹0 | ₹8000 |
As you can see here, since your health insurer caps your room rent, you will be paying at least Rs 8,000 (extra amount due to room rent capping) more.
However, if your health insurance doesn’t come with any room rent capping, you will not need to pay this extra amount thus saving your pocket from additional out pocket expenses!
Here’s a quick table to help you understand the average room rent costs for different rooms at hospitals in India, including ICU room rents.
Type of Hospital Room | Zone A | Zone B | Zone C |
General Ward | ₹1432 | ₹1235 | ₹780 |
Semiprivate Ward (2 or more sharing) | ₹4071 | ₹3097 | ₹1530 |
Private Ward | ₹5206 | ₹4879 | ₹2344 |
ICU | ₹8884 | ₹8442 | ₹6884 |
Note - Please note that this is for reference purposes and the costs may differ hospital to hospital and city to city.
The primary benefit of no room rent capping in your health insurance is the fact that you’re not limited with your choice of room. Everyone has different preferences and just having the choice of picking the room you are comfortable with, can make your experience at the hospital a lot better. Whether you don’t mind sharing the room with two other patients or want a private room all to yourself, the choice is yours!
Whether you pick a basic room or a deluxe room, at the end of the day; your claim is registered basis the total amount of your treatment and hospitalization expenses put together. Having no limit on your room rent cap allows you to decide how you want to divide the expenses and spend on your total treatment. Of course, this is as long as your total claim amount is up to your sum insured.
When you’re sick or being treated, comfort is what you’ll crave for the most, isn’t it? Based on your personal preference, having no room rent cap helps you decide the room you feel most comfortable in, thereby making your stay at the hospital comfortable.
