Bajaj Allianz General Insurance has launched a surgical protection plan which is 50 per cent cheaper than its regular health insurance policy.
The plan provides insurance cover for only surgical treatments. The plan covers almost 600 surgeries and assures a guaranteed benefit amount depending on the surgical treatment, which is graded based on the costs. This policy offers 11 plans, with the sum insured ranging from ₹1 lakh to ₹10 lakh.
“We realised that our existing health plan covers a wide range of medical expenses other than costs related to pure surgeries. Since cost related to surgeries form a major part of medical expenses, a common man’s biggest requirement is to cover these expenses,” said Tapan Singhel, MD and CEO, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance.
The insurer is also offering discounts for women and for online purchase of policies.
