The verdict
Insurance Care Supreme (Vikas) is an individual health insurance plan from Care. It stands out for no co-payment, no disease sub-limits and built-in restoration. On the insurer side, it reports 95.19% of claims settled by count and a 22,100+ cashless hospital network.
Where it wins
No co-payment — the insurer pays the full approved claim, with nothing deducted as your share.
No disease-wise sub-limits — covered treatments are paid up to your full sum insured rather than a smaller per-illness cap.
Restoration is included — the sum insured refills unlimited times in a policy year, triggered on full exhaustion of sum insured & bonus, for a related and unrelated illness.
Cover grows by 50% for each claim-free year, up to 100% of the base sum insured.
Modern treatments such as robotic surgery and other advanced procedures are covered, usually up to a specified limit.
Day-care procedures that take under 24 hours — cataract, dialysis, chemotherapy and similar — are covered.
Where it stings
Room rent is limited to General Ward, max up to ₹3,000 — choosing a costlier room can trigger proportionate cuts across the whole bill.
Waiting periods
No cover in this window except for accidental hospitalisation.
Named conditions such as cataract, hernia and joint replacements wait this long.
Conditions you already have are covered only after this period.
