We do not have any limitation on buying Health Insurance. It is as per your requirement if you wish to have additional coverage, however you must inform us regarding the existing policy at the time of buying.

As, this is an individual term policy, so there is no option to reduce/discount the premium.

Yes. To pre-authorize, you need to contact us at least 48 hours well in advance before any previously planned admission in hospital. If it is not possible, then you should contact us within 48 hours of an emergency admission. In such case, no penalty for failing to pre-authorize will apply.

If you receive treatment from our network provider hospital, then we will pay pre-authorized eligible treatment charges directly to the hospitals. You do not need to worry about the bill payment. You will only need to settle any charges, that are not covered by your policy directly with the hospital/doctor.

When your treatment cost is not pre-authorized or there is any out-patient or pre and post hospitalization cost, in that case you need to pay for the cost by yourself and then claim the cost for reimbursement. Claims for reimbursements should be submitted within 7 days of discharge from the hospital.

We will settle the claim within 30 days of documents submission. Provided that, all the necessary documents are submitted required by us.

An Insured need to submit following documents duly attested by him;

• Original bills, receipts and discharge certificate/ card from hospital

• Medical history of the patient recorded by hospital

• Original cash-memo from the hospital/chemists supported by proper prescription

• Original receipt, pathological and other test reports from a pathologist/radiologist including film etc. supported by the note from attending doctor demanding such test

Only 30 days after the commencement of policy for medical expense incurred for any disease. However, accidents would be covered from the Day 1.

You must pay renewal premium within 30 days of your policy renewal date. If failed, we will automatically cancel your policy. If any treatment is received within these 30 days, without your premium received by us and policy reinstated, we will not cover the expenses.

In that case, you have to apply for a new policy. All the pre-existing condition will be re-verified and waiting period will apply from the start date of your new policy.

No. There is no option to get refund of premium.

Certainly. You could make any alterations only at the time of renewal. But in that case, no claim bonus will not be provided. However, any such change request will be subject to underwriting decision or requirement of medical tests on a case-to-case basis.

This is an unfortunate issue. In that case, we will provide the full sum assured to nominee.
