Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd. (formerly known as Max Bupa Health Insurance) has announced a new offering - Smart Health+ Disease Management Rider - for its ReAssure customers. The plan will provide coverage for diabetes, hypertension and related complications from Day 1.
Niva Bupa surveyed its consumers and findings revealed that most people suffering from diabetes and hypertension feel restricted with the waiting period of 2-4 years, despite paying higher premiums.
Given that a significant percentage of the Indian population suffers from diabetes and hypertension, Niva Bupa has introduced this product. The SmartHealth plus Disease Management Rider will also offer quarterly health check-ups and discount of up to 20% on health insurance renewal premium on managing a healthy lifestyle.
