Star Health Comprehensive Plan — At a Glance
Star Health Comprehensive Plan is Star Health’s individual and family floater product with no room rent sub-limit on all sum insured bands. It represents a mid-to-premium positioned plan that combines Star Health’s market-leading 99.1% CSR with a strong clause structure — the key limitation being consumables exclusion.
Policy Clause Analysis
Room Rent
No sub-limit. Single private room covered at actual room rent. No proportionate deductions. This is the key structural improvement over Star Family Health Optima on lower SI variants.
Consumables

Restore Benefit
Available — different illness. Sum insured reinstated once per year for a subsequent hospitalisation from a different illness.
PED Waiting Period
3 years (IRDAI maximum for post-Oct 2023 policies).
Zone-2 Co-Pay
