ManipalCigna's individual / family floater plan, reviewed on the clauses that actually decide your claim — room rent, co-pay, sub-limits, waiting periods and the insurer's claims record.

3.8
★★★★☆
The verdict
Sarvah (Param) is an individual / family floater health insurance plan from ManipalCigna. It stands out for no disease sub-limits, built-in restoration and modern-treatment cover. On the downside, a co-payment applies to claims — worth weighing before you buy. On the insurer side, it reports 93.07% of claims settled by count and a 26,000+ cashless hospital network.
Where it wins
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 partial exhaustion of sum insured, for a related and unrelated illness.
Cover grows by 100% for each claim-free year, up to 1500% 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.
Consumables like gloves, syringes and PPE are paid rather than deducted from your claim at discharge.
Where it stings
A co-payment applies — you pay a fixed share of every claim out of pocket; check the exact percentage in the policy wording.
Room rent is limited to Capped — choosing a costlier room can trigger proportionate cuts across the whole bill.
Premium positioning is on the expensive side of the market.
Waiting periods
No cover in this window except for accidental hospitalisation.
Named conditions such as cataract, hernia and joint replacements wait this long.
