[Resolved]  Bajaj Allianz General Insurance / Health Insurance — Rejecting Medical Claims

Address:Pune, Maharashtra

My name is G S Sridhar. I have a health policy with Bajaj Allianz General Insurance.
The policy name is STAR-PACKAGE, Policy No. OG[protected]-00000270.

On 24-March-2010 around 3.00AM I got a mild chest pain and rushed to Medipoint Hospitals Pvt Ltd, New D.P. Road, Aundh, Pune. I got addmitted to into ICU as there were variations in my ECG.

On 25-March-2010 I got shifted to Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune to do a Coronary Angiography and I had been admitted in Ruby Hall Clinic from 25-March-2010 to
26-March-2010.

As soon as I admitted in to Ruby Hall clinic we have informed Bajaj Allianz customer care.

On 25-March-2010 (I got discharged on this day), I got a fax from Bajaj Allianz stated that my claim was rejected due to pre-existing diseases as I am a diabetic (this is the standard reason from Bajaj Allianz for the rejection of claim). The chest pain was not because of my diabetes.

I had spend around Rs.23000 (including hospital charges and medicines) and I did not get a single paise from the insurance company.

I could not understand what's the use of medical insurance when they are rejecting claim.

In the policy instructions, under EXCLUSION SPECIFIC to HOSPITAL CASH/ HEALTH GUARD/ CRITICAL ILLNESS they have listed almost all diseases that affects the human being :)

I therefore submitting this complaint before the Consumer Forum for necessary intervention in getting my claim.

We have reviewed both the cashless denied claim documents. The preauthorization form from both Medipoint hospital and Ruby Hall mention the past history of both hypertension and diabetes to be since 7 years for the insured. Hence cashless claims were denied. However we have not received any claim for reimbursement till date. Denial letter mentions that the insured can send the claim for reimbursement and that denial of cashless does not mean denial of treatment of claim. Hence the insured can forward the claim for reimbursement which will be assessed on merits as per policy terms and conditions.
