Every eligible family gets cashless treatment of up to ₹25 lakh in a year. The plan also includes a life accident insurance cover of up to ₹10 lakh, so the family gets financial support in case of an accident. Treatment costs from 5 days before admission to 15 days after discharge are covered, including medicines, tests, surgery, ICU charges, doctor fees, anesthesia, diagnostics, blood and required protective equipment during the hospital stay.
