I have an ongoing group insurance from Manipal Cigna for my parents aged 62yrs and 58yrs respectively from past 2 years under Union Bank Customers Group Insurance.
I would now like to include them in a more inclusive and definitive plan wherein coverage and facilities are there as both are going into senior citizen category down the line.
Is it possible to change my insurance from group to family floater Co-sitting of father and mother only while retaining the NCB and Critical Illness Continuity as I have not claimed anything for past 2 years and would like the critical illness cover to remain as it was due after 3 years and this is 3rd year ongoing. So they would have been eligible for the same next year but there are some limitations in the group insurance which has forced me to think to change the current policy to family/individual.
Please guide the best in terms of value for money and what should be the ideal course of action. My coverage is Rs 10 lakh.
Ans: Hi Subhankar, to answer your query, there are insurers in the market which provide the facility of porting a group policy to family floater policy along with no claim bonus (NCB). However, Critical Illness Continuity will depend upon the coverage of the policy.
If Critical illness is in policy coverage then it will be covered but if the same is included in the policy as a ‘Rider’ then in this case it cannot be ported.
