Protecting the Heart of Your Diagnostic & Treatment Capabilities
As a healthcare provider in India, your medical equipment is not just machinery; it is the backbone of your healthcare delivery services. From high-end MRI machines to critical life-support systems, your investment in technology directly impacts patient care and your facility's reputation.
However, these sophisticated devices are sensitive. Voltage fluctuations, accidental damage, or sudden breakdowns can bring your operations to a halt, leading to massive repair costs and lost revenue.
Electronic Equipment Insurance (EEI) provides the financial safety net you need to ensure that when your machines stop, your practice doesn't.
Why Do You Need Electronic Equipment Insurance (EEI)?
In the Indian healthcare landscape, the risks are real and frequent. Standard property insurance often falls short when covering delicate electronic circuitry. EEI is an "All Risk" policy designed specifically for electronic devices.
- High Replacement Costs: Most medical equipment is imported. A simple part replacement can cost lakhs due to currency exchange rates and customs duties.
- Power Quality Issues: Despite stabilizers, sudden voltage spikes and short circuits remain a leading cause of PCB and motherboard failures in India.
- Operator Error: Even the most trained staff can make mistakes during the hustle of a busy hospital environment.
What We Cover
Our policy protects your equipment against a wide range of unforeseen and sudden physical losses or damages.
Physical Damage
- Accidental Damage: Handling losses, dropping of equipment, or impact damage.

External Data Media (Optional Add-on)

How is the Sum Insured Calculated?
Crucial Note: In Electronic Equipment Insurance, the Sum Insured must always be the Replacement Value (New for Old), not the Depreciated Value.
This includes:
- Current market price of a new machine of the same specifications.
- Customs Duty & Taxes.
- Freight and Installation charges.
If you under-insure (insure for less than the replacement value), the claim amount will be reduced proportionately.
What is NOT Covered? (Standard Exclusions)
To ensure transparency, here is what is generally excluded:
- Current market price of a new machine of the same specifications.
- Consumables: Bulbs, valves, tubes, ribbons, fuses, belts, etc.
- Wilful Negligence: Intentional damage by the insured or their representatives.
- Manufacturer’s Defects: Damages covered under existing Warranty or AMC.
- War & Nuclear Perils.
