02Cover

What Health Gain Plus 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 IndusInd General's own policy wording.

03Add-ons

Health Gain Plus 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.

Enhanced Covers
A bundle of three. Guaranteed Cumulative Bonus stops the bonus falling after a claim year; Unlimited Reinstatement replaces the base restoration with unlimited refills and lifts the same-illness sub-limit from 20% to a full 100% of base cover; Consumable Cover pays non-medical items within the sum insured. This is the add-on that fixes the plan's two biggest gaps, and it is only sold at ₹5 lakh cover and above.
Double Cover
Adds a further 100% of base sum insured on the same claim, replacing the built-in Extra Sum Insured, which only adds 20%.
Reduction in Pre-Existing Waiting Period
Cuts the 36-month pre-existing wait to 24 or 12 months.
Removal of Co-Payment
Waives the 20% co-payment that otherwise applies to anyone whose entry age into the policy was 61 or above. If you are buying for a parent, price this before anything else.
Change in Room Rent limits
Moves the room category from single private AC to actuals, or trades down to twin sharing for a lower premium. Available at every sum insured, unlike most of the optional covers.
Convenience Cover
Stretches pre-hospitalisation to 90 days and post-hospitalisation to 180, and adds air ambulance at 7.5% of base cover or ₹5 lakh, whichever is higher, plus a radio taxi allowance and convalescence cash.
04Price

Health Gain Plus 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
Voluntary Aggregate DeductiblePriced to the deductibleAgree to pay the first ₹10,000, ₹25,000, ₹50,000 or ₹1 lakh of claims each year and the premium falls. Available at every sum insured, including ₹3 lakh.
Twin-sharing room optionPriced to the optionTrading the single private AC room down to twin sharing lowers the premium, and the ₹1,000-a-day Accommodation Bonus then pays out whenever you use that room or below.

From the plan prospectus. The Health Gain range prices its flexibility through the optional covers rather than a discount grid.

05Waiting periods

Health Gain Plus 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
Covid-1915 days
Specific Illness24 months
Vision correction24 months
Pre-Existing Disease36 months, reducible to 24 or 12 with the optional cover

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. This list is indicative – the prospectus groups the full set by organ system.

Indicative listFrom the policy wording. Your own document governs.
01Cataract, retinal detachment and glaucoma
02Sinusitis, rhinitis and tonsillitis, and the surgeries that treat them
03Stones in the kidney, ureter or bladder, and enlarged prostate
04Gallstones, gallbladder disease, pancreatitis and hernia repair
05Piles, fissure, fistula and pilonidal sinus
06Non-infective arthritis, gout, osteoporosis and joint replacement
07Fibroids, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian disease and prolapsed uterus
06Exclusions

Health Gain Plus 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-medical items and consumables, unless the optional Consumable Cover is on your schedule
02Alcoholic cirrhosis, which is permanently excluded rather than merely waiting
03An admission arranged mainly to run tests, where no treatment follows
04Rest cures, rehabilitation and respite care
05Cosmetic or plastic surgery unless it repairs damage from an accident, burn or cancer
06Treatment for infertility or sterility, and unproven treatments
07The honest bit

Where Health Gain Plus 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 restoration headline hides the number that matters. A full 100% is only reinstated for an unrelated illness. If the same condition puts you back in hospital, you get 20% of the base cover – ₹60,000 on a ₹3 lakh policy – unless you buy the Enhanced Covers add-on.
02Consumables are not in the base plan at all. They arrive only through the optional Consumable Cover, and that cover is unavailable below ₹5 lakh, so the ₹3 lakh buyer cannot have it at any price.
03Anyone whose entry age was 61 or above carries a 20% co-payment on every single claim unless the Removal of Co-Payment cover is added. On a ₹4 lakh bill that is ₹80,000 out of pocket.
04The bonus accrues at 33.33% a year, against 50% at most competitors, and it falls by the same 33.33% for every claim year unless you buy Guaranteed Cumulative Bonus.
05Room rent is capped at a single private air-conditioned room, and post-hospitalisation runs only 60 days. Both can be bought out, which means the advertised premium is not the premium you should be comparing.
08FAQs

Health Gain Plus questions, answered

Is restoration on Health Gain Plus really 100%?

Only for an unrelated illness. The base plan gives one reinstatement a year at 100% of the base sum insured if the second claim is for something different, but caps it at 20% of base cover if it is the same illness or injury. On a ₹3 lakh policy that is ₹60,000. The optional Enhanced Covers bundle removes the distinction, making reinstatement unlimited and paying the full 100% for the same illness too.

Are consumables covered?

Not in the base plan. Consumable Cover sits inside the optional Enhanced Covers group, and the prospectus restricts optional covers to sums insured of ₹5 lakh and above. So at ₹3 lakh you cannot buy it, and at ₹5 lakh you must ask for it by name. Without it, gloves, syringes and the rest of the non-medical list come out of your pocket after the claim settles.

Is there a co-payment?

Two, and both are easy to miss. Anyone who first entered the policy aged 61 or above bears 20% of every assessed claim, for as long as they hold the policy – the optional Removal of Co-Payment cover waives it. Separately, if you pay Zone B premium and take treatment in a Zone A city, a further 20% applies on top. The Accommodation Bonus and accidental death benefit are exempt.

What room can I use?

A single private air-conditioned room on Plan Plus and Plan Power; only Plan Prime pays at actuals. Take a higher category and a proportionate deduction applies to the associated charges, not just the room rate. The Change in Room Rent Limits option upgrades you to actuals, and unlike most add-ons here it is available at every sum insured.

How fast does the bonus build?

33.33% of your base sum insured for every claim-free policy year, capped at 100%, so three clean years double a ₹3 lakh cover to ₹6 lakh. Make a claim and it drops back by the same 33.33%. The Guaranteed Cumulative Bonus option inside Enhanced Covers stops that reduction, which matters more on a small sum insured than the headline percentage does.

Is this still a Reliance policy?

The insurer is now IndusInd General Insurance Company Limited, following the rebrand from Reliance General Insurance. The product filing, the UIN and the policy documents still carry the Reliance Health Gain name, and existing policies continue unchanged. If a document or a quote says Reliance General, it is the same company.
