Introduction to HDFC Ergo Optima Secure

HDFC Ergo Optima Secure is a health insurance policy offered by HDFC ERGO General Insurance Company Limited. A health insurance plan is essentially a hospitalization cover that promises to pay the costs incurred during hospitalization, as well as expenses incurred before and after a hospitalization. HDFC Ergo’s Optima Secure Plan provides exciting discount options and a host of benefits and features to meet all of your and your family’s healthcare needs.

Verdict: HDFC Ergo Optima Secure

This is a great option if you want a plan that provides comprehensive coverage as well as a variety of unique benefits and features. From the first day of coverage, your base sum insured will be doubled under this plan. The plan allows you to pay your premiums monthly and covers several costs including the cost of consumables as well as dental treatment. On the flip side, however, it is slightly more expensive in comparison to other plans in the market. Further, as per our research, the insurer has received fewer claim settlement complaints but a higher number of policy purchase complaints.
