HDFC Ergo Optima Secure gives you 3X coverage in just 2 years.
Here’s how:

 

1. You get 2X coverage from day one
    –> A 10L policy instantly becomes 20L. No activation needed.

 

2. Plus benefit adds another 100% over 2 years
    –> 50% after first renewal
    –> Another 50% after second renewal
    –> Your 10L becomes 30L

 

3. Zero restrictions on room category
    –> Choose any hospital room you want
    –> No hidden costs or partial payments

 

4. All daycare procedures covered
   –> Even treatments under 24 hours
   –> No questions asked

 

5. Covers consumables too
    –> Syringes, gloves, masks included
    –> Reduces out-of-pocket expenses

 

But there’s a catch:
– Higher premiums than basic plans
– 36-month waiting period for pre-existing conditions
– No maternity coverage

 

Is it worth it?
Consider this: HDFC Ergo settled 97.94% of claims in FY24, with 13,000+ network hospitals.
