Medical History
Past conditions may affect eligibility and terms.
Waiting Periods
Time before certain covers become active.
Pre-existing Diseases
How existing conditions are handled by the policy.
Co-payment
The share of claims you may need to pay yourself.
Deductibles
A fixed amount paid before cover begins.
Room-rent Limits
Restrictions on room categories and related costs.
Network Hospitals
Where cashless treatment may be available.
Premium
The cost of the cover, often higher with age.
Policy Renewal Terms
The conditions for renewing your policy each year.
