How Does NCB Work Under Aditya Birla Health Insurance Portability?

When a current insurance plan is switched to Aditya Birla Health Insurance, the accumulated No Claim Bonus (NCB) differs as per the situation and the type of plan opted for:

Scenario 1: If the policyholder chooses an Aditya Birla Health policy with the same base sum insured amount, the waiting periods from the previous policy is considered.

For instance: Priya holds a health policy of ₹10 lakh with a NCB of Rs 2 lakh and has served a waiting period of 24 months. When she ports to an Aditya Birla Health insurance policy of ₹10 lakh. In this scenario, the waiting periods from her previous policy counts, allowing her to file the claim for health conditions that require a waiting period of 24-months without serving any additional waiting periods.

Scenario 2: Should the policyholder switch to an Aditya Birla Health policy with a base sum insured amount equal to the combined total of the previous policy's base sum insured amount and the NCB, the existing waiting periods of the prior policy will be sufficient.

For example: Priya has a health insurance policy of ₹10 lakh and an NCB of ₹2 lakh. She intends to switch to an Aditya Birla Health insurance policy of ₹12 lakh. In this case, the waiting periods from her previous policy carry forward. This is because the collective sum of her last policy's base sum insured amount (₹10 lakh) and NCB (₹2 lakh) matches the base sum insured amount of the Aditya Birla Health policy (₹12 lakh).

Scenario 3: If the policyholder selects an Aditya Birla Health policy with a higher base sum insured amount than the combined total of the previous health insurance policy's base sum insured amount and NCB, waiting periods will be enforced for the additional coverage portion.

For example: Priya holds a health insurance policy of ₹10 lakh alongside an NCB of ₹2 lakh. She plans to switch to an Aditya Birla Health insurance policy of ₹15 lakh. In this instance, the waiting periods served under her previous policy will be enough for a coverage amount of ₹12 lakh. However, to claim for the extra ₹3 lakh, standard waiting periods need to be served.
