[Resolved] Royal Sundaram Health Insurance — Refusal Of Claim on false grounds | |
3rd Reminder URGENT APPEAL To, Kind Attn. Mr.Ajay Bhimbat, Managing Director, Royal Sundaram Chennai. Dear Mr Bhimbat, RE POLICY # HO OOOO[protected] CLAIM HR 00028464 I take this opportunity to put to your kind attention that i am a policy holder for the last 3 years and never taken any claim against the policy. Since the last 2 years i started getting some pain in my legs and back, slowly it started progressing during walking. and i was prescribed pain killers etc. The pain started getting worse and upon investigation was diagnosed with ostoperosis arthertis. I was advise a hip replacement surgery and underwent the same at Max Institute in New Delhi. Now it was the time to apply for my claim as a right because this is what we insure ourself for. Any eventuality etc etc. Right from the start first they refused the cashless facility suggesting me to go for reimbursement. The mental and financial agony caused to me on account of the refusal just before my operation was not enough as when i applied for the reimbursement that was also refused on flimsy grounds that it appears to be a pre existing condition. It is clearly unfair to handle patients aking for relief in this manner. Would i have waited to take a insurance claim for 3 years and then get myself treated? My physical condidion is much more important to me than financial matters. It is a trauma going through surgery but this financial burden added to it. What is the use of getting Insured when your officers are insensitive and unjust to genuine claims. I wish to express my regret and unhappiness over this episode and request you to kindly depute a responsible person to take care of my claim in a right and just manner. Your intervention would be very much appreciated in this regards. Thank You Best Regards Rajive Sharma Was this information helpful? | |

Dear Friend,
It is good that you shared your experience at this web site. Not only Royal Sundaram, but several other Health Insurance providers in India are arbitrarily rejecting genuine health treatment claims citing reasons of pre-existing diseases. If the Policy has been renewed for 3 or 4 years, no Insurance Company can claim that the disease was pre-existing and was there at the time of taking the policy. Not even Medical science can say clearly when exactly a disease starts in a person before its mainfestation and symptoms.
In case of disputes regarding claims, an insurer can always approach the Insurance Ombudsman with his claim details and the letters received from the insurer rejecting the claim. You can lodge a written complaint with the Insurance Ombudsman of your area. You will get details of the Insurance Ombudsman at IRDA website- www.irda.gov.in.
The Insurance Ombudsman is an independent arbitrator who can decide on disputes like this one. Generally their award cannot be questioned by Insurance Company.
So lodge your complaint to the Insurance Ombudsman with all required information. It's free, there is no fee nor is there any need for the service of a lawyer, you can do it yourself. You can even claim damages for the mental agony and financial loss suffered by you due the rejection of cashless facility on flimsy grounds.
