🏥 The most overlooked health insurance clause could cost you lakhs Many people see “Restoration Benefit” and assume their cover automatically refills after every claim. That is not always true. 📌 What you should check: • Does restoration activate only after the entire sum insured is exhausted? • Is the benefit available for the same illness? • Can the same insured person use the restored amount? • Does partial exhaustion also trigger restoration? For example: A ₹5 lakh policy with a ₹4.8 lakh claim may still have ₹20,000 left. In many policies, restoration may not activate because the original cover was not fully exhausted. This can lead to unexpected out-of-pocket expenses during a second hospitalization. A low premium and high coverage amount do not tell the full story. The real value of health insurance lies in the claim conditions, not the marketing brochure.
