02Cover

What ProHealth Prime Senior 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 ManipalCigna's own policy wording.

What this plan does
03Waiting periods

ProHealth Prime Senior 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

ProHealth Prime Senior 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 ProHealth Prime Senior 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.
01Written only for older entrants, so it cannot be used to cover a younger spouse or children on the same policy.
02Waiting periods restart on any increase in sum insured, to the extent of the increase.
03Manipal Cigna Health draws 35.5 complaints per 10,000 weigh that against the wording, because a policy is only as good as the claim behind it.

Understand the terms before you commit

A plan page tells you what this policy does. These explain why each term matters and what it costs you when it is missing.

09Same insurer

Other ManipalCigna plans we have read

ManipalCigna files these separately, and the terms differ between them. If you are choosing within the range, compare the waiting periods and the exclusions rather than the sum insured.
