Benefits of Porting to a Magma HDI Health Insurance Policy

• Retaining NCB Benefits - The cumulative bonus is retained when a policyholder switches to a Magma HDI health insurance policy. For instance, if the NCB from the previous policy is 50%, it adds to the Magma HDI health insurance policy without any loss.

How Does NCB Work Under Magma HDI Health Insurance Portability?

The handling of NCB during the porting process can vary based on different scenarios. Here are some common situations:

Scenario 1: If the policyholder chooses a Magma HDI health policy with the same base sum insured as their previous policy, the waiting periods carry forward to the new policy.

For example, Priya has Rs. 10 lakh health insurance plan with Rs. 2 lakh NCB. She decides to port to a Magma HDI health insurance policy of Rs.10 lakh. In such a case, the waiting periods from his previous policy continue, allowing Priya to access coverage benefits without the need to serve any additional waiting periods.

Scenario 2: If the policyholder switches to a Magma HDI health policy with a sum insured (SI) equal to the sum insured of their previous policy plus the NCB, the waiting periods served under the previous policy continues.

For example, Priya has a health insurance policy of Rs. 10 lakh with Rs. 2 lakh NCB. She decides to port to a Magma HDI Health Insurance policy of Rs. 12 lakh sum insured. Since the total from her previous policy (Rs. 10 lakh base SI + Rs. 2 lakh NCB) matches, the new policy's base sum insured (Rs. 12 lakh); she will not need to serve any additional waiting periods for the same coverage benefits.

Scenario 3: If the policyholder selects a Magma HDI Health policy with a base coverage amount higher than the combined amount of their previous policy's base sum insured and the NCB, waiting periods will be applicable for the additional coverage amount.

For Example: Priya has Rs. 10 lakh health policy and Rs. 2 lakh NCB. She wants to port to a Magma HDI Health Insurance policy of Rs. 15 lakh. Her previous waiting periods and NCB will be sufficient for a coverage amount of Rs. 12 lakh but to claim the additional Rs. 3 lakh, standard waiting periods will apply.
