When an organ of your body fails to perform, it need transplantation to re-start normal functioning of the organ. Organ transplantation is a critical procedure done globally by harvesting an organ from people who are dead or from living donors. This organ is then replaced with the failed organ of the recipient/patient.
Being a critical procedure, organ transplantation requires multiple tests and examination to ensure the compatibility of the donor vs. the recipient. Harvesting and transplanting of organs can be done for several body parts such as Kidney, bone marrow, liver, lungs, heart, pancreas, etc.
Because of the complexity involved in the human organ transplant, it becomes an expensive procedure. In fact, the organ transplant price in India goes up to 10 -15 lakh in general. Hence, if any organ transplantation is required due to medical emergency or any other reason, it becomes impossible for a normal family to afford the treatment cost.
And in the absence of medical insurance, people even had to sale their assets to incur the expenses of organ transplantation. Hence, to stay prepared for such unforeseen medical situations, it is better to buy a term insurance policy to make sure that you do not have to drain your savings.
However, the question that arises in this regard is whether term insurance policy offer coverage for organ transplantation or not.

What is Critical Illness Cover?

Term insurance offer several riders and a critical illness rider is the most significant of them all. This rider cover the insured against several life threatening diseases, which require extended treatments, multiple hospital visits, and a range of related expenses.
If a policyholder avails a critical illness rider under their term plan, they become eligible for a certain payout in case of being diagnosed with a critical disease. This payout can be used for organ transplantation if the critical disease requires it as part of the treatment.

Factors to Consider under Term Plan for Organ Transplantation
There are several insurers in India offering term plans with multiple riders for critical diseases and organ transplantation. Most of these plans differ from each other depending on their coverage terms and conditions.
Further, the conditions might also differ in terms of the organ that needs to be transplanted such as liver, heart, pancreas, kidney, intestine etc. Another important factor to consider is the transplant procedure applied by the healthcare providers and hospitals.
In addition, the health condition that the insured is suffering from which caused the organ to fail is also considered by insurer before offering term coverage to policy seekers.
If the functioning of the organ has failed due to a reason which is excluded from the policy, the transplant may not be covered by the insurance provider. For instance, in case of kidney transplant if the condition is caused due to excessive drinking, the term plan may not compensate the policyholder for the kidney transplant patients.
