With the burgeoning prices of healthcare facilities, health emergencies bring great financial turmoil. Often these unfortunate crises drain a family’s savings and cripple them financially and emotionally.
Especially, when the healthcare requirement is an emergency like an accident and swift action is the utmost priority, Road Ambulance Service plays a vital role.
Given their 24 x 7 availability, swift response, trained caregivers and highly equipped advanced medical facilities, modern day ambulances cost an extravagant amount of charge.
An ambulance insurance cover provides financial compensation against ambulance expenses incurred during a medical emergency with an insured individual.
Nowadays, most health insurers provide ambulance coverage in their regular health insurance policies, with an upper cap. This upper cap is mostly a certain percentage of the Sum Insured.
Let us take an example for better understanding:
Suppose you have health insurance with a Sum Insured of 5 lacs. It provides an ambulance cover of 1% of the sum insured, i.e., Rs. 5000. Now, in an unfortunate incident, you had to book an ambulance that cost you Rs. 6000. In this case, the insurance provider would cover Rs. 5000 in your ambulance expense and the remaining Rs.1000 you would need to pay from your side.
Some insurance providers do not provide ambulance cover as part of their policy but cover it under an Add-On that can be separately purchased and accordingly paid for.
At Digit, we cover Road Ambulance expenses as a policy feature under our health plans. The coverage is usually 1% of the Sum Insured, with an upper cap, depending on your policy.
With a Road Ambulance Cover in place, when we don’t have to worry about the cost of the facility, we can focus better on the primary objective, i.e., getting the necessary medical assistance for the patient.
A Road Ambulance has many benefits over and above any non-medical, on road mode of transport:
Besides being the emergency transit provider, Road Ambulance also serves to provide the prehospital medical care by being equipped with advanced medical facilities.
The clinical environment of ambulances ensures a consistent patient care from the spot of emergency to the hospital.
As the ambulance is the first point of contact for the patient and the trained staff in it provides the primary medical care, the hospital can be better prepared to deal with the incoming situation.
Road ambulances are operated by skilled drivers and trained medical staff. Hence, they can reach the crisis spot within the allotted time. They provide speedy and effective service to patients.
Most insurance companies cover Road Ambulance expenses for emergency hospitalisations with the following conditions:
There are a few exclusions with most of the insurance providers, including:
The Ambulance cover benefits are not available in case of planned hospitalisations. It only covers expenses in case of emergency hospitalisations.
Recurring commute expenses incurred after reaching home are not covered by this benefit.
A well-equipped ambulance becomes a necessity in case of emergency medical assistance. However, it must not hit your pocket. Most health insurance plans these days cover ambulance charges as a certain percentage of the sum insured. You must check your policy document for the complete details about ambulance cover.
If you or any of the insured family members might require hospitalisation in the near future, such as in the case of planned surgeries, you may inform your TPA in advance. This makes the whole claim process much more hassle-free and convenient. However, most insurance companies don’t provide ambulance cover in case of planned hospitalisation.

Usually, there is no restriction on the number of claims. However, the total claim amount of all the claims must be within the specified limit of ambulance cover provided by the insurance company. However, you should always check the complete details with your policy document.
