02Cover

What Day2Day Care covers

These are the terms that decide what you are actually paid when you claim. Room rent, co-pay and restoration do more to shape a settlement than the sum insured does, and they are read from HDFC ERGO's own policy wording.

03Waiting periods

Day2Day Care waiting periods: when each part of the cover starts

Waiting periods run from the day cover began, not from the day you fall ill, and they run in parallel rather than one after another.

Initial waiting period30 days from the start of the first policy, except for an accident
04Exclusions

Day2Day Care exclusions: what the plan will not pay for

Every policy carries exclusions, and they are the clauses people read for the first time at claim stage. These are the ones worth knowing before you buy.

Not coveredIndicative, not exhaustive. Your policy wording is the contract.
01Anything in the first 30 days of the first policy, other than an accident.
05The honest bit

Where Day2Day Care falls short

No plan is right for everyone, and a page that only lists strengths is not much use to you. These are the gaps we would raise on a call before recommending it.

Worth knowing before you buyNone of these are dealbreakers on their own. They are the trade-offs this plan asks you to accept.
01This covers day-to-day and outpatient costs, not hospitalisation. It is not a substitute for a health policy.
02Waiting periods restart on any increase in sum insured, to the extent of the increase.
03HDFC ERGO's claim record is strong, but a policy is only as good as the wording behind it – read the schedule you are actually issued, not the brochure.

Other HDFC ERGO plans we have read
