Magma General OneHealth Premium

The top plan in Magma's OneHealth range, sold from ₹10 lakh to ₹3 crore. Room rent is uncapped, the sum insured recharges an unlimited number of times a year, and the bonus adds a third of the cover every year whether or not you claim. The two things to watch are zone-based co-payments and a 20% co-payment for anyone who joins at 61 or above.

02Cover

What OneHealth Premium 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 Magma General's own policy wording.

What this plan does
03Add-ons

OneHealth Premium add-ons you can buy with it

Each of these costs extra and each has its own conditions. Some are genuinely worth it; several exist to patch a gap in the base plan. Ask what each one adds before it goes on your quote.

Non-payable Expense Cover
Pays for the items on List I of the policy's Annexure II – the gloves, syringes, PPE and similar supplies that are otherwise excluded – under both the in-patient and day-care sections. This is the add-on that stops a settled claim leaving a balance behind.
Recharge Benefit for same illnesses
Extends the built-in Recharge of Sum Insured so it also refills the cover for the illness you have already claimed for in the same policy year. Without it, recharge only applies to an unrelated condition.
Zone-wise Co-pay Waiver
Removes the co-payment that otherwise applies when you take treatment in a costlier zone than the one you paid the premium for – 25% moving from Zone 2 to Zone 1, 20% from Zone 3 to Zone 2 and 35% from Zone 3 to Zone 1.
Enhanced Pre and Post Hospitalisation Cover
Raises the pre and post hospitalisation limits to 60 and 90 days. The Super Saver Pack takes post-hospitalisation further, to 180 days, but cannot be held alongside this cover.
Bonus Booster, Bonus Booster Plus and Infinite Bonus Booster
Three ways to change the cumulative bonus. Bonus Booster resets it to 20% a year up to 100% on the lower plans; the Plus and Infinite versions lift the ceiling above 100% on this one.
Reduction of waiting periods
Separate options to shorten the pre-existing disease wait, the specific-disease wait and the initial 30-day wait. There is also a Futuristic Cover that carries served waiting periods forward when you move to a new base policy.
Room Rent Modifier, Aggregate Deductible and Voluntary Co-payment
The three premium-reducing levers. Room Rent Modifier trades the uncapped room down to a twin-sharing eligibility, the aggregate deductible makes you clear a fixed amount of claims each year first, and the voluntary co-payment puts 10% or 20% of every claim on you.
Critical Illness and Personal Accident Cover
Two benefit-basis covers. Critical Illness pays a lump sum equal to the sum insured or ₹10 lakh, whichever is lower, on diagnosis of one of 11 listed conditions, subject to a 90-day initial wait. Personal Accident pays on accidental death or permanent total disablement.
04Price

OneHealth Premium discounts you can ask for

Published discounts on this plan. Most are applied at quote stage rather than offered, so it is worth naming the ones you qualify for. Every figure is a ceiling, not a promise - what you actually get depends on the case.

DiscountWorthWhen it applies
Fitness RewardsUp to 10%Points worth up to 10% of your premium, redeemable as a renewal discount. 1% for taking the health check-up with all results in range, 1.5% for finishing a 10 km run, 2% for a year's gym or yoga membership, 2.5% for another professional sporting event and 5% for a health programme the insurer sponsors.
Aggregate deductible and voluntary co-paymentPriced to the optionClear a fixed amount of claims each year yourself, or accept a 10% or 20% co-payment on every claim, and the premium falls.
Room Rent ModifierPriced to the optionTrading the Premium plan's uncapped room down to a twin-sharing eligibility reduces the premium.

From the plan prospectus. OneHealth prices most of its flexibility through the optional covers rather than a discount grid.

05Waiting periods

OneHealth Premium 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
Critical Illness optional cover90 days
Specific Illness24 months
Psychiatric treatment for listed disorders36 months
IVF, bariatric surgery and LASIK3 years
Maternity48 months

The named illnesses that wait 24 months

Payable once the policy has run 24 months without a break; the wait does not apply to an accident, and an optional cover shortens it. This list is indicative – the customer information sheet carries all 17 named conditions.

Indicative listFrom the policy wording. Your own document governs.
01Cataract
02Stones in the biliary and urinary systems
03Hernia and hydrocele
04Piles, fissure and fistula
05Lumps, cysts, nodules, polyps and internal tumours
06Osteoarthrosis, arthritis, gout, spondylosis and disc prolapse
07Knee or hip joint replacement and any ligament, tendon or muscle tear
08Chronic or end-stage renal failure
06Exclusions

OneHealth Premium 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.
01Non-payable items on List I of the policy's Annexure II, unless the optional cover is bought
02Service charges levied by the hospital under any head
03Any treatment received outside India, other than under the worldwide emergency cover
04Correction of refractive error below 7.5 dioptres
05Dietary supplements available without prescription, unless prescribed as part of the admission
06Artificial life maintenance once the treating doctor confirms a vegetative state
07The honest bit

Where OneHealth Premium 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.
01The cumulative bonus is not a no-claim bonus. It adds 33.33% of the sum insured every year whether or not you claimed – which is generous – but do not read the 100% ceiling as a reward for a clean record.
02Recharge, despite being unlimited, only fires from the second claim of the year and only for an illness unrelated to one already claimed. Same-illness recharge is a separate paid add-on.
03Anyone aged 61 or above when the policy starts carries a 20% co-payment on every admitted claim, for as long as they hold the policy.
04Zone pricing bites hard. Treat in Zone 1 on a Zone 3 policy and 35% of the admissible claim is yours. Emergencies and accidents outside your zone are exempt, but planned treatment in a metro is not.
05The pre and post hospitalisation limits are set in the Product Benefits Table, and Magma sells two separate optional covers that raise them to 60 and 90 days, and 60 and 180. Confirm the numbers on your own schedule before you assume the plan matches its competitors.
08FAQs

OneHealth Premium questions, answered

How many times does the sum insured recharge?

An unlimited number of times in a policy year, each time at 100% of the sum insured, but with two conditions people miss. It only starts from the second claim of the year, and each recharge is available only for an illness or injury unrelated to one already paid that year for the same person. Same-illness recharge exists, but as a separate optional cover you have to buy.

Is the 33.33% bonus a no-claim bonus?

No, and the distinction matters. The wording is explicit that OneHealth pays the cumulative bonus at the end of each policy year irrespective of a claim being made, provided the policy is renewed without a break. On the Premium plan that is 33.33% of the sum insured a year up to a 100% ceiling, so a ₹10 lakh cover reaches ₹20 lakh in three years whether you claimed or not.

Is there a co-payment?

Two, both of which can be missed at the quote stage. Anyone aged 61 or more when the policy starts pays 20% of every admitted claim. Separately, treating in a costlier zone than the one you paid for triggers 25% moving from Zone 2 to Zone 1, 20% from Zone 3 to Zone 2 and 35% from Zone 3 to Zone 1. The zone one can be bought out; the age one cannot.

Does the Premium plan cap room rent?

No. The room rent cap applies to the Support plan, at 1% of sum insured a day, and to Secure, at a single private room. Support Plus, Shield and Premium have no cap, and the wording pays reasonable room, boarding and qualified nursing charges as billed. If you later take the Room Rent Modifier option for a lower premium, that changes.

Are consumables covered?

Not in the base plan. Everything on List I of Annexure II – gloves, syringes, PPE, administrative charges and the rest – is excluded, and the Non-payable Expense Cover option adds them back under both the in-patient and day-care sections. There is also a small Green Channel benefit that pays ₹1,000 or ₹2,000 towards non-payable items if you use a preferred-network hospital.

What are the waiting periods?

Thirty days for any illness at the start, 24 months for the named specific-illness list, and a pre-existing disease wait set on your policy schedule. On top of those sit longer clocks: 36 months for listed psychiatric disorders, three years for IVF, bariatric surgery and LASIK, and 48 months for maternity. Optional covers shorten the first three.
