Figures to check against today's data

The video was recorded on 30 October 2026. Where nyvo's current data states a figure differently, it is below.

In the videonyvo's current data
0:21chautha, isme unlimited restoration option bhi dono mein maujood hai.Both are unlimited, on different terms. Ultimate Care's refill applies from the second claim of each policy year. ReAssure Forever switches on after your first paid claim and then stays for life. Neither applies on the Unlimited sum insured option.
0:55Niva mein aapko 145 diseases ke liye Instant Cover milta hai, lekin aapki policy place karne ke baad hi insurer aapko batata hai ki aapko Instant Cover milega ki nahi.The 145 figure is not in ReAssure 3.0's prospectus, policy wording or brochure. Those documents describe an extra premium (a loading) set at underwriting: you can choose at policy issuance to pay it and have no pre-existing wait for the conditions it covers, and it continues at every renewal. Otherwise the pre-existing wait is 36 months. Ultimate Care's Instant Cover is a paid option: seven named conditions, from day 31, on your first policy with Care.
1:07Ultimate: general physician, specialist ka aapko ₹5,000 tak ka limit milta hai aur ₹500 per consultation milta hai.Matches the brochure, and it is a paid option: up to ₹5,000 per insured person, at ₹500 per consultation. ReAssure's OPD cover is also paid (WellConsult+, up to 5 times your total premium), with a co-payment on reimbursement claims.
1:30Care Ultimate mein infinite bonus hai, matlab 100% se aapka har saal aapka badhta hai, woh bhi infinite tareeke se, woh bhi guarantee aapko milega.Infinity Bonus is a paid add-on. Ultimate Care's base bonus is 50% a year up to 100%, and a claim does not affect it. Infinity Bonus adds 100% a year with no ceiling; stop renewing it and the balance built under it is forfeited. It does not apply on the Unlimited sum insured option.
1:39Niva Bupa 3.0 Black mein aapko 100% se badhega aur yeh 1000% tak aapko stop. Matlab 10 lakh ki policy aapki stop ho jaayegi 1 crore tak.₹10 lakh can reach ₹1.1 crore in total: up to ₹1 crore of Booster+ on top of the base cover. The 100% is for a claim-free year; a year with a claim adds only the part of the base the claim did not use.
2:01Black mein aapko koi discount nahi milta hai, sirf aapko 5% online discount milta hai.There is no welcome discount, but the prospectus lists others besides the digital discount of up to 5%: Live Healthy up to 30% at renewal for walking, family up to 10%, preventive test up to 10%, long-term up to 12.5%, doctor up to 5% and NRI up to 15%.
2:17Care Ultimate mein ₹10 lakh ka cover lenge, toh premium aayega approximately ₹14,000 ke kareeb. ... ₹10 lakh ka agar aap cover lete ho, premium aata hai ₹16,000 ke kareeb.As quoted in the video, which does not say which add-ons each quote includes; get both quoted on the same options. A new buyer's first Ultimate Care premium carries the 30% welcome discount, so ₹14,000 in year one would be about ₹20,000 by year four (14,000 ÷ 0.70) before any age or rate change. ReAssure has no welcome discount to lose. nyvo's premium chart prices one adult, not a couple: ReAssure 3.0 Black at age 30 in Mumbai, ₹7,529 for ₹10 lakh and ₹10,705 for Unlimited (base plan, no tax, quoted 24 October 2026). nyvo has no published quote for Ultimate Care.

The video does not say which period it is quoting.
4:08Doosra, freeze option: jab aapka premium age ke mutaabik increase nahi hoga.Both options lock your entry age until a claim is paid, and on a floater any member's paid claim unlocks it. On Ultimate Care, Premium Freeze is a paid option covering the base premium only, and it does not stop the welcome discount running out.
