  • A critical illness plan bought along with Health Insurance will pay a lump sum amount over and above your hospitalization cost.
  • Diseases of heart, lung, kidney etc. require regular medical interventions, hospitalizations, etc. which can drive up the cost of healthcare. Thus, getting a critical illness insurance plan can help take care of expensive treatments.
