What is covered under Care Heart?
Comprehensive coverage for hospitalization expenses
The main feature of Care Heart is to cover expenses that will be incurred during hospitalization. You can use the cashless facility or get the costs reimbursed. It is always good to have a breakdown of what is covered for e.g. expenses include room charges and nursing expenses, amongst others apart from main treatment charges.

Medical expenses are not just restricted to the hospitalization costs, so with Care Heart, you are covered for pre-hospitalization and post-hospitalization expenses as well.

Ambulance expenses

Domiciliary hospitalization coverage
Illness does not necessarily mean hospitalization – in some cases, the insured will be recommended domiciliary care. This usually happens when the patient is too sick to be transferred, so to avoid the additional stress of transference, home-based care is recommended.
