11. Benefits on Annual Renewals

 Health Relationship Loyalty Program


If the Policy is renewed with us without any break, each Insured Person will become
eligible to participate in the Health Relationship Loyalty Program announced by us from
time to time. It is a first-of-its kind rewards program, which rewards customers for their
relationship with Max Bupa and the trust they have reposed in the brand, irrespective of
their claim history. The program is also designed in a way that the customers can choose
the benefits that are most relevant to them. Under this program, customers can opt for
either of the following:
1. Earn and Redeem: Customers can earn points worth a percentage of their last
paid premium which can be redeemed against various products and services.
These products and services can be vouchers from various partner brands. It
also includes vouchers for OPD services within our partner hospital network if the
customer wishes to avail of the same, of the equivalent value.
a. If the Policy Period is one year, we offer vouchers, in either electronic or
physical form, worth 10% of your last premium received
b. If the Policy Period is two years, we offer vouchers, in either electronic or
physical form, worth 5% of the last premium received on the commencement

2 . Increase Sum Insured: The customer also has the option to opt-for increasing his

increasing his Sum insured on further renewals
 The option of higher Sum Insured is applicable for (a) individual Policy on Base
Sum Insured, (b) Family Floater Policy on Base Plan Sum Insured, and (c)
Family First Policy on individual Base Sum Insured
 We offer a 10% increase on the expiring Base Sum Insured on each Policy Year
up to a maximum of 50% of Base Sum Insured of that Policy Year provided the
Policy is renewed continuously
Illustration:
The Loyalty additional Sum Insured is calculated as 10% of the expiring policy‟s Sum
Insured at the time of renewal. So if a customer has a base Sum Insured of Rs.
200,000 in the beginning, he earns a 10% Loyalty additional Sum Insured of Rs.
20,000 at renewal which is added with his base Sum Insured to take his total Sum
Page 7 of 36
Heartbeat Health Insurance Plan (UIN: IRDA/NL-HLT/MBHI/P-H/V.II/19/13-14) Prospectus and Sales Literature

Insured for the next year to 220,000. Like this the Total Loyalty additional Sum
Insured can be accumulated till 50%(Rs 100,000) of the base sum insured of Rs
200,000, if the customer renews the policy for 200,000 continuously.

However, If at the next renewal he increases his base Sum Insured to Rs 10,00,000
from Rs. 200,000, he gets Rs. 20,000 Loyalty additional Sum Insured, which is10% of
the expiring base Sum Insured Rs. 200,000. This takes his total loyalty additional
Sum Insured to 40,000 and his total Sum Insured for that policy to Rs. 10,40,000.
The Loyalty additional Sum Insured earned at renewal does not become a part of the
base Sum Insured for any current year. At next renewal the Loyalty additional Sum
Insured is calculated as 10% of expiring Base Sum Insured of Rs. 10,00,000. The
maximum allowed total Loyalty additional Sum Insured can now be 50% (Rs
500,000) of Rs. 10,00,000 if the customer renews the policy for Rs. 10,00,000
continuously

Next, If the customer reduces his base Sum Insured back to Rs. 200,000 at next
renewal, the maximum total Loyalty Additional Sum Insured allowed will be calculated
based on the new sum Insured of Rs. 200,000 and the customer cannot avail of the
higher amounts earned earlier.

Current Base Loyalty Additional Cumulative Loyalty


Sum Insured Sum Insured Amount Additional Sum Insured Total Sum Insured
1 200,000 - - 200,000
2 200,000 20,000 20,000 220,000

benefits table.

If the Policy is renewed with us without any break and there is a unutilized amount (not

benefit table) in a Policy Year, then we will carry forward 80% of this unutilized amount to

13. Co-Payment
If any insured person is 65 years of age or over on the date of commencement of current policy
year, then we will pay the percentage provided in the table below of any assessed claim amount
Co-payment contribution table:
No of Years of Continuous renewal at or later than Percentage of any assessed claim amount payable
the age of 65 years by Us

0 year 80%

1yr 85%

2 yrs 90%

3 yrs 95%

4 yrs or more 100% (No Co-payment)

Page 9 of 36
Heartbeat Health Insurance Plan (UIN: IRDA/NL-HLT/MBHI/P-H/V.II/19/13-14) Prospectus and Sales Literature

The above Co-pay grid means that the Percentage of any assessed claim amount payable by Us
increases by 5% for every continuous renewal.
Illustration of how the above co-pay works:

If the insured person is of the age 63 years at the time of the first Policy Inception then the Co-pay that
would have applied at the age of 65 years would reduce as per the table below,
No of Years of Age of the Insured person Percentage of any assessed claim amount
Continuous renewal payable by Us when the insured person 65 years
of age or older

0 yrs (First Policy Year) 63 yrs 100% (no co-pay in this policy year)

1 yr 64 yrs 100% (no co-pay in this policy year)

2 yrs 65 yrs 90% (co-pay starts at the age of 65 yrs, applicable


percentage payable by Us is 80% plus the
cumulative benefit of 10% for 2 Continuous
renewals)

3 yrs 67 yrs 95% (co-pay keeps reducing at each Continuous


renewal by 5%)

th
4 yrs 68 yrs 100% (co-pay reduces to zero after 4
th
Continuous renewal or in other words in the 5
year of Continuous coverage)

It should be noted that the Co-pay is applicable only once the insured person is 65 years or age or older.
The reduction in co-pay is a benefit being given to customers for enrolling before the age of 65 years.
Even after turning 65 the Co-pay continues to reduce by 5% for every Continuous renewal. So for any
customer Continuously renewing the same plan with Us for 4 policy years the Co-pay reduces to zero.

Heartbeat Health Insurance Plan (UIN: IRDA/NL-HLT/MBHI/P-H/V.II/19/13-14) Prospectus and Sales Literature

19. Optional Aggregate Annual Deductibles(top-up option):


You can choose from one of three optional deductibles of Rs 1 lac, Rs 2 Lacs and Rs 3 lacs. By doing so
you will receive a discount in the premium calculation of your policy as per the table below,

Deductible Option Available for Sum Insured Applicable discount in premium


(top-up) in INR (INR) calculation
1 lac Deductible 2 lacs & 3 lacs 25.0%

2 lac Deductible 2 lacs & 3 lacs 33.0%

3 lac Deductible 2 lacs & 3 lacs 45.0%

If an annual aggregate deductible is chosen then the Insured Person shall bear all assessed claim
amounts payable under the policy up to the deductible amount, under his(her) policy for any Policy Year.
Our liability to make payment under the Policy in respect of any claim made in that Policy Year will only
commence once the Deductible has been exhausted.

Any claim amount that is assessed to be payable by Max Bupa under this policy and is borne by the
customer (even if paid for through another Health Insurance Policy) will be accepted as reason of
deductible exhaustion.

Description (using 2 lacs deductible with 3 Lacs Sum Insured as example)


By accepting this condition you will agree to pay yourself or from another health insurance policy the first
2 lac of the total claim amount assessed for payment in one policy year. All claims will be assessed by Us
as per the Terms and Conditions of this policy. Max Bupa will start paying claims as per the policy Terms
and Conditions once the total claim amount assessed for payment for your policy goes above 2 lacs. We
will cover you for a Sum Insured of 3 lacs over and above the 2 lacs deductible.

Please find below the two illustrations for the working of the aggregate annual deductible(top-up
option)

Illustration 1: When a customer already has an health insurance policy and opts for another
policy from Max Bupa along with the annual aggregate Deductible (top-up) Option

Heartbeat Health Insurance Plan Opted for Sum Insured: 3 Lacs, with an annual aggregate
Deductible: 2 lacs
Health Insurance Policy from any other insurance company Sum Insured: 2 Lacs
Rules:
Deductible exhaustion will be calculated without use of Contribution clause. So the first 2 lacs of
aggregate annual claims in this example will be paid for by the other insurer's policy.

For aggregate claim amounts above the annual deductible,

Page 16 of 36
Heartbeat Health Insurance Plan (UIN: IRDA/NL-HLT/MBHI/P-H/V.II/19/13-14) Prospectus and Sales Literature

Contribution ratio will be calculated as per the ratio of the Sum Insured above the annual deductible in
both policies. So if the other insurers' policy has Sum Insured Rs 2 Lacs and the deductible in Max
Bupa policy is Rs 2 lacs, Max Bupa will pay 100% of the assessed claim amount above Rs 2 lacs up to
the Sum Insured.

Illustration 2: When there is an overlap of Sum Insured between the Max Bupa policy and
another HI policy, along with the annual aggregate Deductible (top-up) option

Heartbeat Policy Plan opted for Sum Insured: 3 Lacs with an annual aggregate Deductible: 2 lacs
Health Insurance Policy from any other insurance company Sum Insured: 3 Lacs
In this case there is an overlap of coverage with the other insurance policy. So in this case customer
has an option to choose the insurance company from which claim to be settled.
Rules:
Deductible exhaustion will be calculated without use of Contribution clause. So the first 2 lacs of
aggregate annual claims in this example will be paid for by the other insurer's policy.

For aggregate claim amounts above the annual deductible, if the customer chooses Max Bupa to
settle the claim, no contribution clause will be applied

insured).

system, and premium payments are cleared.
