Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold is a health insurance policy offered by The Oriental Insurance Company Limited.

The Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold Plan not only ensures that your family is secured and can live carefree in the moment, it also is light on your pocket making it a budget-friendly option. It is an insurance policy that covers hospitalisation expenses incurred for any illness, accident, or injury in turn reducing your financial load in a medical emergency. However, it does not provide a comprehensive coverage, it is mainly to cover hospitalisation and other related expenses. Another concern is that it does not provide a monthly premium payment option. Additionally, according to our research, the insurer has a slow rate of response on Twitter compared to other insurers. They also have a very low percentage of claims settled within 30 days.

What are the benefits offered by the Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold?

• Inpatient hospitalisation coverage: Like every other health insurance plan, the Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold covers inpatient hospitalisation expenses incurred when you are admitted to a hospital for more than 24 hours. These include limits though that need to be looked into before selecting this plan. Inpatient hospitalisation expenses include room boarding and nursing charges, ICU charges, the cost of prescribed medicines and drugs, medical practitioner’s fees, and other related expenses.
• Pre-hospitalisation coverage: Pre-hospitalisation charges refer to the medical expenses incurred before hospitalisation, such as consultations, tests, checkups, and lab reports. These expenses will be covered by the insurer only if they are related to the medical condition for which you are later hospitalised, and your claim for them must be approved as part of inpatient hospitalisation coverage. The Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold Plan covers pre-hospitalisation expenses incurred up to 30 days before hospitalisation to the sum insured.
• Post-hospitalisation coverage: Post-hospitalisation expenses refer to the medical costs that you may incur after being discharged from the hospital. These expenses may include follow-up consultations with your doctor, medical check-ups, rehabilitation sessions, physiotherapy, and more. To be eligible for coverage, the post-hospitalisation expenses must be related to the condition you were hospitalised for and your claim must be approved under inpatient hospitalisation. Under the Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold, you are covered for post-hospitalisation expenses incurred up to 60 days after hospitalisation and up to the sum insured.
• Daycare treatment coverage: A daycare treatment is a medical procedure or surgery that traditionally requires an extended hospital stay but can now be completed within 24 hours due to advancements in medical technology. 116 daycare procedures are covered by the Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold and the expenses will be covered up to the sum insured. Please note that under the daycare cover, surgeries/procedures that are not listed are also covered but prior approval from the company/TPA is a must.
• Domiciliary treatment coverage: Domiciliary treatments refer to medical treatments for illnesses or injuries that require immediate attention in a hospital but are administered at home because the patient is very ill or injured and cannot be transported safely to a hospital, or because there are no hospital beds available in the patient's immediate vicinity.  The Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold  Plan provides coverage up to a maximum of Rs 50,000/-
• Organ donor coverage: The Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold  Plan also provides coverage for organ donor expenses. It covers inpatient expenses only and not the harvesting cost. The coverage is up to the chosen cover amount.
• Modern treatment coverage: The healthcare field is rapidly evolving with advancements in technology, leading to the development of modern treatments that were once considered impossible. These treatments, such as radio surgeries, stem cell therapy, etc. aim to cure ailments that were previously thought to be incurable. The Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold Plan is designed to keep pace with these advancements and covers the expenses associated with modern treatments with sub-limits for various treatments.
• Non-medical expenses coverage: The Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold Plan does not cover for non-medical expenses. These non-medical expenses refer to the cost of consumables, such as gloves, nebulization kits, oxygen masks, and other items necessary for treatment.
• No Claim Bonus: The No Claim Bonus is a reward given by the insurance company if no claim is made during the policy period. In the case of the Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold Plan, this option of a no-claim bonus is unavailable.
• Super No Claim Bonus: This is an accelerated version of the No Claim Bonus and works exactly like it. The Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold Plan doesn’t provide the Super No Claim Bonus feature.
• Restoration Benefit: The Restoration Benefit is a unique feature that replenishes your sum insured once it has been utilised within a policy year. With the Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold Plan, the refill benefit applies specifically to unrelated illnesses. It comes into effect only when a portion of the sum insured has been used up. Additionally, the refill is accessible once within a policy year and is applicable for subsequent claims thereafter. However, if you choose an add-on, unlimited refill will be applicable.

Please note that the limits and conditions mentioned in the above benefits and features are for Rs. 10 Lakhs sum insured.

Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold: Financial Limits

• Room rent limit: The maximum amount that your insurance company will cover for the room you are hospitalised in is known as the room rent limit. If you select a room that falls within your plan's room rent limit, you will not incur any out-of-pocket expenses. However, if you opt for a room with a higher rent than your eligibility, you will be subject to a proportionate deduction. This implies that you will have to pay a proportionate share of the entire bill, rather than just the difference in the room rent. Under Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold, you can choose any room type if you opt for it as an add-on.
• ICU rent limit: This limit refers to the maximum amount that the health insurance policy will cover for the cost of a stay in the ICU of a hospital. It is important to note that there is an ICU rent limit of 2% of the sum insured per day in the Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold.
• Copayment: A copayment, or copay, is a portion of the approved claim amount that you are responsible for paying out of pocket. After you pay the copay, the insurance company will cover the remaining amount. There is no copayment limit in the Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold.
• Deductible: A deductible is the amount of money that you must pay out of your own pocket before your health insurance coverage kicks in to pay for medical expenses. The Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold does not have any deductible limit.
• Limits on surgeries/treatments: This refers to the maximum amount that the health insurance policy will cover for specific medical procedures or treatments. Some policies may have specific limits on the amount that they will cover for certain procedures, while others may not have any such limits. Under the Oriental Happy Family Floater - Gold, all important surgeries and treatments like cataract treatment or joint replacement surgery are covered up to the sum insured. Meaning, that the policy covers the full cost of cataract treatment and joint replacement as long as it does not exceed the sum insured.

Please note that the above financial limits are taken for a 30-year-old individual, opting for a sum insured of Rs. 10 Lakhs.
