    Laksmi,

    How are the claims?.. as per chennai, i have heard star is better when it comes to claims..

    i think some of the medical insurances do give cover for pre-conditions as a different plan..

    what about the exclusion list..because even when the plan says accepts pre-conditions, the glitch is mostly in the exclusion list.:rant:rant:rant

    Shanthi,

    Aegon Religare has a good reputation whenit comes to insurance claims but i dont have an idea about medical claims.

    Some companies do cover preconditions but they bump up the premium cost by a lot. Also this insurance cover is given without a medical checkup.

    There is an exclusion list (as always :bonk) but that is for fatal illness like lukemia, cancer etc.

    Shruthi,

    I am 30 too. I took a term insurance from Aegon Religare for the maximum term provided by the company. This is bocz i wanted the insurance to cover me atleast till i am an active earning member. In case of any eventuality, all my liabilities are covered.

    Aegon Religare has best reviews and premiums quotes for the term insurance. Also their riders are more affordable than ICICI Lombard. So opted for the same. LIC was ruled out because it does not offer any riders. In the current scenario, i feel critical illness and accident cover riders are a must.

    Coming to the riders, i have taken the accident coverage and also critical illness rider. If you take these riders, you get the amount you opted for these riders (for ex, 8lakhs) in case of accident and critical illness and also you are exempted from paying the premium amount for the rest of the duration.

    I would strongly suggest you opt for the accident cover rider. If possible, do opt for the critical illness rider too.

    Hi ,

    If your LIC market Plus is market linked Insurance plan. Please check the conditions for surrendering the policy and also you can how much surrender value you can get.

    Usually you have certain years of premium to be paid before the polciy can become paid up and can be surrendered. It is better if you can get some one to talk to LIC officials or post a query on LIC website about what is the surrender polciy for your one.
