What does 'unlimited sum insured' mean in health insurance?
An "unlimited sum insured" means there is no fixed monetary limit on eligible hospitalisation expenses that a policyholder can claim during the policy period. For example, a conventional policy may offer a sum insured of ₹10 lakh, after which the overall coverage limit is exhausted. An unlimited sum insured removes this overall ceiling, subject to the policy's terms and conditions.
