Where they're the same
- INF Visitor and Seven Corners both run direct-billing, so the family doesn't front the ER bill and chase reimbursement later.
- Neither plan treats COVID as an exclusion; it's covered up to the standard medical limit on both.
- 24×7 phone support sits behind both plans — useful when a hospital admits at 2am IST and you need pre-auth.
- Both are true comprehensive plans — they pay actual hospital bills, not capped per-day or per-procedure amounts.
Premium is high; 20% coinsurance on first $5k. Not all hospitals in network.
Premium reflects the richer coverage - not for the cost-conscious.
