Star Health & Allied Insurance Co Ltd — No response to claim

Address: West Bengal

I, had submitted my claim No: 00882 on 14/05/2011 and as yet there has been no positive response from the Insurance Co.On inquiry I, was informed that from a xerox copy of my original application photograph, the manager could deduce that the disease was pre- existing .( what deducing power he should have been a detective ) .In spite of the fact that I, had already cleared the medical examination before becoming eligible for a policy. I, was again directed to visit an eye surgeon of their choice to which I, duly complied .Since the report was in my favor I, was given to understand that the claim would now be passed from the Head Office in Chennai. Till date I, have not heard from the company. All this for claim of a mere Rs 23000/ It shows not only the standard of the Company but also the length to which their personnel go to to avoid a claim. Congratulations to Star Health for avoiding another claim and duping another unfortunate victim.
