How does Mera Mediclaim Plan Work?

Collapsed Expanded

The procedure of a Mera Mediclaim Plan is remarkably simple and hassle-free to understand. The two-in-one plan that offers Health Cover and Death Benefits has been widely popular among people aspiring for a flexible, cost-effective, and affordable cover with extensive dual benefits.

To demonstrate how the Mera Mediclaim Plan works, here are some illustrations of the plan:

Case 1: Mr Pandit is a 35-year old man who is looking for illness and a death cover. Hence, he buys the Mera Mediclaim Plan to get health insurance and life cover for a term of 30 years. Under the policy, the basic sum assured as a life insurance component by Mr Pandit is ₹25 lakhs, while the health component is ₹10 lakhs.

He opts for a regular premium paying term, and the annualized combined premium of the plan is calculated at ₹14,157. The Mera Mediclaim Plan offers a 7.5% discount on both the life and health plan. In this case, the discount calculates to be ₹1,148.

However, at the age of 40, Mr Pandit is admitted in the hospital and thus, makes a health insurance claim. He is eligible to get benefits up to ₹25 lakhs (owing to ₹10 lakh of sum assured + 10% sum assured as No claim bonus + 50% sum assured as No claim bonus Super). This amount is reimbursed to Mr Pandit, and the policy continues with the medical policy available for all insured. At the age of 50 years, Mr Pandit dies, and the family gets the death benefit of ₹25 lakhs and the policy terminates.

Case 2: In another example, Mrs Sridevi, 40 years, buys the Mera Mediclaim Plan to get a health policy along with a life cover. In the regular pay programme, she opts for a 25-year long policy term with ₹25 lakhs as life insurance and another ₹5 lakhs as a health plan.


Her annualized combined premium for the policy is ₹13,262. The Mera Mediclaim Plan offers a 7.5% discount on both the life and health plan. In this case, the discount calculates to be ₹1,075.

At the age of 45 years, Mrs Sridevi made a medical insurance policy claim and was reimbursed ₹12.5 lakhs (owing to ₹5 lakh of sum assured + 10% sum assured as No claim bonus + 50% sum assured as No claim bonus Super). Post this, the policy continues to provide a health insurance plan for all those insured. At the age of 55 years, Mrs Sridevi dies, and the family gets the death benefit of ₹25 lakhs and the policy terminates.

Case 3: Mr Ayush, who is a healthy 55-year-old man, aims to get a health insurance plan combined with life insurance policy. He secures a sum of ₹25 lakhs in life insurance and ₹15 lakhs in health policy under the Mera Mediclaim Plan. The policy term is 20 years.

His annualized combined premium for the policy is ₹47,088. The Mera Mediclaim Plan offers a 7.5% discount on both the life and health plan. In this case, the discount calculates to be ₹3,818.

At the age of 60 years, Mr Ayush is admitted to the hospital and thus, files for reimbursement. He is granted ₹37.5 lakh (owing to ₹15 lakh of sum assured + 10% sum assured as No claim bonus + 50% sum assured as No claim bonus Super). Post this, the policy continues to provide health coverage for all those insured. At the age of 75 years, Mr Ayush dies, and the policy terminates.

The reinstated amount can be used by the insurer for a different claim or by any other individual (in case of a floater policy) for any claim. The automatic recharge feature allows the insurer to avail the recharge benefit for as many times as needed in a year.
