HDFC ERGO Critical Illness Platinum is a critical illness benefit policy designed to provide financial support after an eligible diagnosis of a specified serious illness. The policy can pay a lump sum up to the selected sum insured when the diagnosis or procedure satisfies the policy definition and claim conditions. The Platinum variant lists 15 critical illnesses, covering specified heart conditions, cancer, stroke, kidney failure, major organ transplant and additional conditions such as benign brain tumour, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and end-stage liver disease. Published product information lists sum insured options of ₹5 lakh, ₹7.5 lakh and ₹10 lakh. Premium, eligibility and the final benefit payable must be confirmed against the current insurer quote and issued policy schedule.
15 specified critical illnesses with lump-sum benefit, subject to policy terms
Platinum has the broadest illness list among the Silver, Gold and Platinum variants described in the referenced policy wording. Its additional conditions may be relevant for people seeking a wider set of specified illness benefits, but the number of conditions alone does not determine whether a claim will be payable. Every diagnosis or procedure must satisfy its contractual medical definition, and waiting-period, survival-period and exclusion provisions apply. Published product information lists a 90-day waiting period and a 30-day survival condition; verify these in the policy wording applicable to the policy being purchased. Confirm the current premium, sum insured and eligibility directly with HDFC ERGO.
