Features of Health Cover :

Insurance coverage opted by the employee will be applicable to the entire group (self, spouse, children,
parents/parents in-law) nominated by the employee. Self, spouse and children (up to a max of 2 children) will be
covered by default, however their basic details have to be entered while doing the enrollment process in the TPA
portal.
All employees will be provided an insurance coverage of INR 5 lacs.
o Employee may opt for an additional top-up cover of INR 2 lacs or INR 4 lacs at subsidized rates. This will
be available for utilization in the event base coverage of INR 5 lacs is exhausted.
o Terms and conditions of the base policy will apply, with an exception of maternity claims, which will NOT
be permitted in the top-up policy.

Enrollment of Parent (s)/ Parent(s) In-law:

Deselection of Parents/Parents in-law is disabled FY18 onwards.


o Employees who have never enrolled their parents/in laws can also enroll them now with a lock in period of 2
subsequent cycles (3 years in total including FY18). New enrollments now will mean that it will be valid till FY
20 without any option for disenrollment/ deselection.
o Nominations of parents/in laws from FY 17 will be carried forward. However, people who did not enroll in FY
17 can enroll their parents/in laws at the time of renewal in FY 18. Lock in period of 2 subsequent cycles (3
years in total) will apply in same manner as described above.
o New joiners can enroll their parents / in laws during the enrollment period post joining. This will be locked in
for the FY of joining date and subsequent 2 cycles. So if someone joins in FY18, the lock in will be valid for
FY19 and FY 20.
o In the unfortunate event of demise of the nominated parent(s)/ parent(s) in-law, employee may nominate the
other surviving parent(s)/ parent(s) in-law in the subsequent enrolment cycle. Please note, only one set of
parents/parents in-law may be enrolled. Combination of parent and in-law is not permitted. This will be
applicable subject to lock in period of 2 subsequent cycles (3 years in total).
o If an employee (who was single at the time of enrolling parents) gets married, s/he may choose to nominate
the parent(s) in-law in the subsequent annual enrolment cycle post wedding, however the above stated rules
apply for future changes. i.e. this will be applicable subject to lock in period of 2 subsequent cycles (3 years in
total).

Parent(s) / Parent(s) in-law nominated in FY14 / FY15 / FY16


o Effective FY14, following condition was introduced w.r.t. enrolment of parent(s)/parent(s) in-law: Once
nominated in the medical insurance plan, the selection of parent(s)/ parent(s) in-law will be valid for next 2
cycles and parent(s)/ parent(s) in-law cannot be added/changed during this period. For FY 14 nominees, since
the lock in of 3 years will be over in March 2016, there will be fresh 3 year lock until FY19.
If employees who had enrolled their parents in FY 15 and FY 16 deselect due to change in premium rates, they will not be
able to enroll them again for next 2 cycles.
Premium is negotiated every year based on loss ratio, medical inflation and other factors. Premium may remain same or
may increase year on year, but it will always be better than premium available in the retail market.
Examples illustrating above conditions for reference:
