Doctor consultations, diagnostic tests, medicines, and everyday checkups quietly add up over the year, and most traditional insurance policies only step in once you are hospitalized. This is exactly the gap that wellness health plans are designed to fill. A wellness plan works alongside your regular insurance to take care of routine,&nbsp;non-hospitalization&nbsp;expenses so that staying healthy does not become a financial burden. In this guide, we break down what a wellness plan&nbsp;covers, who can use it, how the plans compare, and how you can start using the benefits from day one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\/blog\/insurance\/wellness-shield-complete-guide\/#What_Is_a_Wellness_Health_Plan\" >What Is a Wellness Health Plan&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\/blog\/insurance\/wellness-shield-complete-guide\/#Who_Can_Enroll\" >Who Can Enroll&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\/blog\/insurance\/wellness-shield-complete-guide\/#Core_Benefits_You_Should_Know_About\" >Core Benefits You Should Know About&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\/blog\/insurance\/wellness-shield-complete-guide\/#Comparing_the_Plans\" >Comparing the Plans&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\/blog\/insurance\/wellness-shield-complete-guide\/#How_to_Access_Your_Benefits\" >How to Access Your Benefits&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_a_Wellness_Health_Plan\"><\/span><strong>What Is a Wellness Health Plan<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A wellness health plan, such as the FatakSecure Health Plan offered through FatakPay Digital Pvt Ltd in partnership with Bajaj&nbsp;Finserv&nbsp;Health, is a comprehensive solution built around your everyday medical needs. Unlike a hospitalization policy, it focuses on Outpatient Department (OPD) expenses, meaning the costs you incur outside of hospital admission, such as:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Doctor consultations, online and offline\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Diagnostic and lab tests\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preventive health checkups\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pharmacy purchases\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nutrition and emotional wellness support\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plan is valid for one year and covers incidents occurring within India only, giving policyholders a full year of everyday health support rather than a&nbsp;one-time&nbsp;benefit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Can_Enroll\"><\/span><strong>Who Can Enroll<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eligibility is&nbsp;broad, making the plan accessible to most working adults and families.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Category<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Age Range<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Primary member&nbsp;<\/td><td>18 to 65 years&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dependent spouse, children or parents&nbsp;<\/td><td>3 months to 65 years&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dependents such as a child or parent can also be added to certain benefits, usually with an upper age limit of around 30 years for specific facilities like Preventive Health Counselling. It is worth checking individual benefit terms before assuming full family coverage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Core_Benefits_You_Should_Know_About\"><\/span><strong>Core Benefits You Should Know About<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real value of a wellness plan lies in the range of services bundled into it. Here is a breakdown of what members typically receive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Teleconsultation:<\/strong>\u00a0Members get instant video or online consultations with a large network of doctors across multiple specialties, right from home. Digital summaries are shared via WhatsApp or the Bajaj\u00a0Finserv\u00a0Health app, and the number of sessions available depends on the plan variant chosen. A waiting period of\u00a030 days\u00a0usually applies before this benefit becomes active.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Preventive Health Counselling:<\/strong>\u00a0A free session with a certified doctor through the app offers personalized health guidance, lifestyle tips, and general medical clarifications. This is meant to encourage proactive wellness and early detection of potential issues rather than reactive treatment.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Preventive Health\u00a0Checkup\u00a0Voucher:\u00a0<\/strong>Available on the\u00a0higher-tier\u00a0plans, this benefit gives members a voucher covering 47 plus essential tests, including a complete hemogram, liver function, thyroid, diabetes, renal, lipid profile, and urine routine tests. Members can book a home collection or visit a network lab through the app.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>OPD Wallets and Discounts:<\/strong>\u00a0An\u00a0OPD wallet allows cashless service at network clinics or reimbursement at non network providers. Even members without a wallet benefit can enjoy a flat 10 percent discount on OPD visits from day one, with no waiting period.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prescribed Lab and Radiology Wallets and Discounts:<\/strong>\u00a0This covers prescribed diagnostics such as blood tests, X rays, and scans at network labs, along with a 10 percent discount available to all plan holders from\u00a0inception.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Diet and Nutrition Consultancy:<\/strong>\u00a0Members on higher tier plans get complimentary sessions with certified dieticians for guidance on eating habits and weight management, while all members receive a discount on consultations through the network.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pharmacy Discount:<\/strong>\u00a0A flat discount, typically 10 percent on the Classic and Premier plans and 12 percent on the Supreme plan,\u00a0applies\u00a0prescribed medicines at partner pharmacies, with no waiting period.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Emotional Wellness Consultancy:<\/strong>\u00a0Sessions with certified psychologists are available for mental health support, accessible through plan vouchers, usually after a\u00a030-day\u00a0waiting period.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Educational Health Content:<\/strong>\u00a0Members also get ongoing access to curated articles, expert tips, and webinars on fitness, nutrition, and preventive care, reviewed by certified professionals, with no waiting period.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comparing_the_Plans\"><\/span><strong>Comparing the Plans<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most wellness plans, including Fataksecure, come in tiered variants so you can choose coverage that fits your needs and budget. Here is a simplified comparison based on the three common tiers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Benefit<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Classic (\u20b999 + GST)<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Premier (\u20b9399 + GST)<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Supreme (\u20b9799 + GST)<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total benefit value&nbsp;<\/td><td>\u20b96,500&nbsp;<\/td><td>\u20b914,500&nbsp;<\/td><td>\u20b928,500&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Doctor teleconsultations&nbsp;<\/td><td>9&nbsp;<\/td><td>24&nbsp;<\/td><td>36&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Preventive health checkup&nbsp;<\/td><td>NIL&nbsp;<\/td><td>47 plus tests&nbsp;<\/td><td>47 plus tests&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Prescribed lab and radiology wallet&nbsp;<\/td><td>NIL&nbsp;<\/td><td>NIL&nbsp;<\/td><td>\u20b91000 at 30 percent co pay&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>OPD consultation wallet&nbsp;<\/td><td>NIL&nbsp;<\/td><td>\u20b9500&nbsp;<\/td><td>\u20b91000 at 30 percent co pay&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>OPD consultation discount&nbsp;<\/td><td>10 percent&nbsp;<\/td><td>10 percent&nbsp;<\/td><td>10 percent&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pharmacy discount&nbsp;<\/td><td>10 percent&nbsp;<\/td><td>10 percent&nbsp;<\/td><td>12 percent&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Preventive health counselling&nbsp;<\/td><td>1 voucher&nbsp;<\/td><td>1 voucher&nbsp;<\/td><td>1 voucher&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Emotional wellness consultations&nbsp;<\/td><td>10 percent discount&nbsp;<\/td><td>10 percent discount&nbsp;<\/td><td>6 sessions&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Diet and nutrition consultations&nbsp;<\/td><td>10 percent discount&nbsp;<\/td><td>6 sessions&nbsp;<\/td><td>6 sessions&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Members covered&nbsp;<\/td><td>2&nbsp;<\/td><td>2&nbsp;<\/td><td>2&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Classic plan suits individuals who mainly want discounts on consultations and pharmacy purchases. The Premier plan adds a preventive checkup voucher and an OPD wallet, making it suitable for families who visit doctors more regularly. The Supreme plan is positioned as the most complete option, adding a lab and radiology wallet along with more emotional wellness and nutrition sessions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Access_Your_Benefits\"><\/span><strong>How to Access Your Benefits<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using the plan is designed to be fully digital. Here is the general process:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Download the Bajaj Finserv Health app and sign up using your registered mobile number.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the Active Plans section and select your purchased plan along with the specific benefit you want to use.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Book your consultation, lab test, voucher redemption, or discount directly through the app.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Refer to the Welcome Kit shared at the time of purchase for detailed terms on each benefit.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Claims and benefit usage can happen in cashless mode at partner network providers, or through easy reimbursement if you use a&nbsp;non-network&nbsp;facility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing the right wellness plan comes down to understanding how often you and your family use OPD services such as consultations, tests, and medicines throughout the year. If you visit doctors occasionally and mainly want discounts, a basic plan may be enough. If your household relies on regular checkups, lab tests, and specialist visits, investing in a higher tier plan with wallets and vouchers can genuinely reduce your&nbsp;out-of-pocket&nbsp;spending. A wellness plan is not a replacement for hospitalization insurance, but paired together, the two ensure that both your everyday health needs and unexpected medical emergencies are financially covered, letting you focus on staying healthy rather than worrying about the cost of doing so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\",\n  \"@type\": \"BreadcrumbList\",\n  \"itemListElement\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"ListItem\",\n      \"position\": 1,\n      \"name\": \"Home\",\n      \"item\": \"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"ListItem\",\n      \"position\": 2,\n      \"name\": \"Blog\",\n      \"item\": \"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\/blog\/\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"ListItem\",\n      \"position\": 3,\n      \"name\": \"Insurance\",\n      \"item\": \"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\/blog\/insurance\/\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"ListItem\",\n      \"position\": 4,\n      \"name\": \"Wellness Shield: The Complete Guide to Staying Covered While Staying Healthy\",\n      \"item\": \"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\/blog\/insurance\/wellness-shield-complete-guide\/\"\n    }\n  ]\n}\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\/blog\/insurance\/wellness-shield-complete-guide\/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"Wellness Shield: The Complete Guide to Staying Covered While Staying Healthy\",\n  \"description\": \"Discover how Wellness Shield covers doctor consultations, OPD expenses, lab tests, pharmacy discounts, preventive checkups, and wellness benefits for everyday healthcare.\",\n  \"image\": \"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\/navbar-assest\/Logo-2.png\",\n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"FatakPay\",\n    \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\"\n  },\n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"FatakPay\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.fatakpay.com\/navbar-assest\/Logo-2.png\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2026-07-27\",\n  \"dateModified\": \"2026-07-27\"\n}\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Healthcare costs today are not limited to hospital admissions alone.
