SpiceJet flyers to get option of buying Covid-19 hospitalisation insurance

NEW DELHI: SpiceJet is now giving the option to its passengers to buy an insurance cover for COVID-19 hospitalisation. The low cost carrier (LCC) has tied up with Go Digit General Insurance Limited through its Digit Illness Group Insurance Policy to offer this insurance cover.
Passengers can opt for the insurance cover ranging between Rs 50,000 to Rs 3,00,000 at an annual premium of Rs 443 to Rs 1,564 (including GST). This covers hospital expenses and all pre and post hospitalisation expenses for 30 and 60 days respectively.
The comprehensive cover includes tests, medication and consultations upon testing positive for COVID-19. This insurance has no restrictions on room or ICU rent, meaning there is no limit on ICU charges or room rent within the sum insured.
