ICICI Bank – Financial Preparedness for COVID-19 based emergencies

ICICI Bank – Financial Preparedness for COVID-19 based emergencies

Dear Customer

We are facing uncertain times with the resurgent wave of COVID-19. We would like to offer some suggestions so that you are prepared to address any financial requirements in the current scenario.

1. Stay aware as a family

In these times of worry, having a shared awareness of our financial resources as a family can be essential. Here are a few essential checks -

Check all your existing Life and Health Insurance documents to find all the relevant information.
Check details of your Health Insurance, like coverage for the entire family; or exclusions if any. Also check for riders, if applicable.
Ensure that the medical cover doesn’t come with caveats like heavy co-pay/capping etc. and comes with home-care plans in case of home quarantine etc.
Check if the cover is adequate to tackle hospitalisation as per the current medical expense trends.
Ensure that your family is aware of the various insurance policies you have.

 

2. Keep relevant details handy

In case of emergencies, we should have all the requisite details handy.

Check your policy number, details and other information and have it handy.
Prepare a list of hospitals close to your home that provide cashless treatment for COVID-19 and other emergencies, according to your policy.
Find hospitals close to other family members that provide cashless treatment for COVID-19 and other emergencies, according to their policy.
Have an emergency reference kit with all the details like account numbers, nomination, etc.
Note down the specific helpline numbers of your Health and Life Insurance policies. ICICI Lombard Helpline Number - 1800 2666
