AN INDIVIDUAL would take a medical or health insurance plan to get compensation if you spend on hospitalisation or any kind of medical bills. This insurance policy helps you so that you are not burdened with the unexpected expenditure. At times when the policyholder produces the bills for a reimbursement it normally gets rejected. One should be aware of such situations and take care. Following are the points which one should keep in mind while claiming for a reimbursement.

Hospitalisation

In a health policy, hospitalisation is one of the main situation for which the policyholder can get reimbursed. The policyholder needs to be hospitalised to get the benefit of the policy. But one also has to make sure that the conditions are fulfilled to get a reimbursement for hospitalisation. If the treatment is done at home the policyholder might not get the benefit. So, in order to avail the benefit it is better to be hospitalised although the same treatment can be done at home as well. And in case the patient cannot be taken to the hospital the insurance company should be aware of the same so that you can get the compensation for the expenditure. Always follow the terms and conditions laid down by the insurance company so that your claim does get rejected.

Pre-existing diseases

If the policyholder is suffering from a diseasebefore availing the policy then it is known as a pre-existing disease. While applying for a policy there certain terms and conditions for individual who have a pre-existing disease. Most of the insurance companies do not have a cover for pre-existing diseases. Which means the insurance company will not reimburse if the claim is for that particular disease. There are policies where the pre-existing disease can get covered but the insurer would have specific conditions where the policyholder would need to follow. For example the policyholder would need to be invested in the policy for a particular duration to avail the benefit for a pre-existing disease. Like most insurers have a condition where the policyholder if with a pre-existing disease of the heart would get insured only after two years from the time the policy is taken.

Limited payment

There are also hindrances when it comes to making certain types of payments, where there could be a limited payment offered by the insurer. Like there could be restrictions for payments of doctor’s fees. The policyholder should make sure what all the restrictions are so that he gets covered for whatever amount of claim.

Disclosure

Lastly to avoid a rejection for a claim it is advisable to disclose any existing disease. If found out later the policyholder can be denied the reimbursement. Hence the policyholder should be clear and mention all the prevailing or past diseases to avoid a rejection.

NEW GUIDELINES issued by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA), on Thursday (April 2), made it mandatory for an insurance company to renew a health insurance policy, irrespective of the payments already made out in claims.

These new rules will come in handy for the old and those with medical conditions as they faced a lot of problem while renewing their health insurance plans. The Bill amends three Acts: the Insurance Act, 1938; the General Insurance Business (Nationalisation) Act, 1972 and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) Act, 1999.

IRDA has made it clear that delays of up to 15 days from the renewal date will also need to be condoned by the insurers and they have to cover benefits given for pre-existing diseases. The new guidelines shall be applicable from June 1, 2009.

Sometimes a policy relapses because you were late by 3 days. You get no reminder from the agent and when you call him up, his excuse is, there were many holidays that week and he was out of town! But, the same guy was happy calling us 5 times a day to sign up. This is the other problem in insurance – the agents lose interest the minute you sign that cheque.

IRDA guidelines issued today also make it clear that the renewal of a health insurance policy cannot be rejected on arbitrary grounds. As per IRDA, the only exception for rejection of a health policy renewal could be fraud or misrepresentation of facts.

IRDA also stated that a customer should not be compelled or forced to shift from one health insurance plan to another insurance product, except where the policy was being upgraded or discontinued with permission from the authority.

It has also asked the insurance companies to provide complete details about terms of renewing a health policy. IRDA said that the purpose of these guidelines was to enable the consumer to take an informed decision.

The regulatory body also told the insurance companies to state in clear terms if there are any changes in the payment of premium by the consumer.
