About Royal Sundaram Lifeline Elite Plan

A quick read on what this Royal Sundaram Health Insurance plan covers and why it might be a fit for you.

Royal Sundaram Lifeline Elite Plan is the only health insurance you need now! Why? Let's understand this with an example.

Rahul and Aditya went on an international tour in the USA. They met with an accident while traveling by cab from New York City to Manhattan. There was a major issue for Aditya as he didn't plan for such an event. Rahul, on the other hand, was not worried about the treatment expenses. Why?

Aditya's basic health insurance policy provided accidental coverage in India only, but Rahul's Royal Sundaram Lifeline Elite plan covered him. It covered all the treatment expenses related to accidental emergency hospitalization (with additional international coverage), and he had to pay almost nothing, unlike Aditya.

Analysis

This example conveys that the Royal Sundaram Lifeline Elite health insurance plan comprehensively covers worldwide emergencies along with basic medical expenses related to pre and post-hospitalization, domiciliary and in-patient hospitalizations, all daycare procedures, OPD, organ donor expenses, ambulance cover, and more.

Additionally, it covers 11 specified critical illnesses, an emergency domestic evacuation facility, health and wellness benefits, and much more. You can also buy an extra layer of protection with the Elite Plus cover, ensuring coverage anytime, anywhere, even internationally!

So, who would you rather be? Aditya with an ordinary life or Rahul with an extraordinary life?
