Room Rent Waiver

Room rent can be a significant portion of the total bill during a typical hospital stay. Room Rent Waiver is an add-on feature in the ACKO Standard Health Insurance Plan. It ensures you can choose any hospital room you prefer, be it a private room, deluxe, super deluxe, or even a suite, without worrying about the associated costs.

This comprehensive approach enhances your insurance protection and adds layers of convenience and comfort, ensuring that your health insurance plan adapts to your needs rather than the other way around.
