Room Rent Capping / Limits in Health Insurance
What is the meaning of No Room Rent Capping in Health Insurance?
A no room rent capping in a health insurance means that you can choose any hospital room you want during your treatment i.e. there is no maximum room rent limit.
You can pick any hospital room you want for treatment, or for the ICU (if needed) as long as your total claim amount is up to your sum insured.
Let’s understand this better with some context.
So, what happens when one is admitted into the hospital for a treatment, is that there are usually a range of hospital rooms available to choose from during admission. Typically, most health insurers give you a limit up to which you can pick your hospital room and ICU room.
For eg: There are a range of hospital rooms like a double room, deluxe room, luxury room, etc with a different room rent of each.
Pretty much like how hotel rooms work! Many health insurers give you a room rent cap in your policy, including a cap on ICU room rents as well.
