In this plan, the policyholder has Health Cover for which he needs to choose a HCB, i.e. Hospitalisation Cash Benefit, i.e. the daily cash benefit on hospitalisation. Thus, if he is hospitalized, he would receive HCB for the number of days of hospitalisation. HCB increases by 5% every year.

This Lump Sum amount would be provided to the policyholder in case of diagnosis of any of the major surgeries enlisted, irrespective of the amount spent of treatment. Also, domiciliary treatment expenses are also paid for which there is no requirement for hospitalisation.
