So i put a travel protect insurance in star health insurance. My policy number is p/121300/03/2019/000025 while i visited rotterdam (Netherlands) i miss my passport then i complaint and got fir in rotterdam police station. Then i go to indian embassy in "the hague" to get emergency certificate to come back to india. It takes two days to get emergency certificate.
From netherlands i informed to insurance company about my missing passport. They ask me to get the missing documents.. I did.
After i reached india i go and submitted the documents which i have with me on 18/08/2018 then the manager as me to go to cliam department igone there to submit. There they ask me to contact chennai head office then i mailed them. Then no response from the company after one month again i do the same procedure after that they ask me to submit bills of the travel while i missed my passport in netherlands then i submitted the bills also. At last again and again i go to company met manager then finally they send me a mail that lost of passport cant able to claim.
If cant able to claim why should they mention in there policy lost of passport can claim upto 250 usd? Why they ask me to submit travel expenses bills? Why they make me wait go there and here for two months?
I got much more depressed because of these issues.
Kindly let me know what should i do..

Policy availed in january 2016. No claims made until now. Now, when we claim for treatment of my wife, they are demanding discharge summary of december 2016 of our different hospital. For not providing that, they have denied cashless claim. Also, they threaten, reimbursement claim will be rejected, if the same details are not provided. Am i supposed to be sharing personal health reports with insurance companies who have not provided financial help.

Hi,

My parent's policy number is p/111117/01/2019/003849. My mother got admitted for angio in april. Rs.25, 000 has been settled by their pension policy scheme and the remaining amount paid by me. I have submitted all bills and documents to star health. They raised query several times and i tried to do my best my end. Insurance person came to hospital a month before and also to my home and inquired all details to clarify few things. I tried to call the number which is shared in the last sms which i received but it is not reachable.

Its been more than 5-6 months but the settlement is not done.

Intimation number is 039647. Very much disappointed by taking this policy.
I would most likely cancel this policy in the next renewal. I will not recommend this to anyone of my friends.

It will be great if i can atleast know the status.

Before this, i heard that it is under financial approval status when i contacted ao but got the query.

Thanks,
Venkat

Hi, i have submitted my reimbursement claim request through agent and it took 15 days to reach zonal office post which i get query for additional documents. I had sent the scanned documents by email as per the suggestion from the claims department. Now they say to submit hard copy and also there is no proper response even after multiple calls to the claims cell. It is very poor customer service since many people promised call back but none so far. This is the worst experience that i had with and really tierd. Looking for help related to the reimbursement concern.

Hi,

I am escalating this issue to claim department. On 12th october 2018 my dad got admitted in sri kara hospital in secunderabad and initial the insurance got approved for 80k based on that we admitted and got operated. Now the claim got rejected saying that in inpatient file they have updated the pain is there from 4yrs and they are saying this was not disclosed during the policy. The inpatient was updated wrongly and some it was rewrite i am not sure this was happens by doctors or the reviewer from insurance department. Saying 4yrs was purely miss communication and duty doctor already given the explanation in return saying the pain is there from last one year also i have produced the x-ray which we took last year.

The initial claim was approved that is the reason we have admitted in the hospital and if the claim is rejected due to small miscommunication at this moment from where can i get the 5lacs and today my dad need to discharge and unfortunately i am also not there. This is purely un-faith to me. I would request again to the claims department to reconsider this where as a i dont have any role and i am 100% eligible for getting the insurance.

If there are any such issues initial insurance also should not get approved so that we can think of the financial position and plan accordingly. I dont see any meaning if the initial insurance got approved and final bill got rejected. I can understand if the partial amount only is getting approved because some hospital charges but not the fully claim in getting rejected.

As a fair customer if this is not getting approved then i should go to justice from irda and get the explanation from them why i am not eligible when i do not have any mistake from my side. And the mistake made from either hospital people or insurance reviewer on adjusting the numbers on the inpatient file and if required i will lodge the fir asking to find who modified the years in inpatient file.

I would request again to claim department to consider the claim currently we are waiting for the response from claim team and i would like to leave the hospital until i get a proper response from the team.

Please find the patient and claim details as below

Respected sir/madam,

With due respect i wish to inform you that i am medical policy holder of your reputed star health india company since last two years. My medi-claim policy number is p/171219/01/2018/001411 which renewal premium was due on 05.07.2018, however i have submitted the renewal cheque of rs. 37011/- (Cheque no. 020851 dated 30.06.2018 drawn on allahabad bank, anand) deposited to you on 02nd july, 2018 before due date. But due to some technical reason (Signature differ) my above cheque was returned by the bank. I wish to inform you that bank did not informed me regarding the cheque returned intimation and i was out of station during the above period so i didn’t get the cheque returned intimation sent by you.

I herewith heartily request you to kindly renew my above policy as i am paying the regular premium since last two years. This was happened due to oversight so kindly consider my above case positively on humanitarian grounds and do the needful by renewing my above policy. I am 62 years old person and i am paying the regular premium and now i will be in big loss at this age if my above policy will not be renewing.

I wish to inform you that i assure you that this type of mistake will never happen in future. Moreover i wish to inform you that i am ready to fresh medical check-up if needed and required by you.

I heartily request you to kindly consider my case as genuine and renew my above policy at the earliest.

Kindly do the needful and obliged.

Your early action in this matter will be highly appreciated.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Yours faithfully,

Gajera mohan jivraj,

Hi, this is vijay kale.
I had taken a policy from star health and allied insurance (Referred to as star insurance in further body).
While taking the policy i had clearly mentioned that i smoke as well as consume alcohol occasionally. Copy of form as acquired by the insurance agent is attached below.

On 15th sept, 2018 there was a lot of pain in my abdomen and i was suffering from unusually high bp.
I met my doctor the very same day and i was suggested to get an endoscopy done.
Since endoscopy is not easily available nearby in panvel, i called up a few hospitals and decided to get my endoscopy done at zen multispeciality hospital, chembur.
On monday morning i reached the hospital and they immediately admitted me. One of the reasons that i chose this hospital to get treated as the cashless facility available there under a tie-up with star insurance.

Before admission, i had presented my insurance card to the tpa of that hospital and informed him that this is under the cashless scheme of star insurance.
To my surprise, the hospital asked me to deposit 20, 000 as a security deposit telling me that this will be refunded after the claim is settled.

My treatment started completely worry-free as i thought i am under the protection of my medi claim plan. After endoscopy, i was diagnosed with a disease called duodenitis.

When the doctors asked me did i drink, i made a full disclosure about when i last consumed alcohol.

I was admitted for a period of 2 days and on the day of discharge just a few hours before the billing i was informed that my claim by star insurance has been declined. The copy of claim decline by star insurance and the reasons are attached below.

The reasons for declining my claim as per the communication received reads as below.
"we note that the insured patient has been admitted with complications traceable to - duodinitis following alcohol consumption. Expenses for such treatment are not admissible in accordance with exclusion no.9 of the policy."

On contacting the insurance agent i got the point no 9 (Also attached below) and reads naturopathy treatment.

It is very clear from the attached screenshot that they have mentioned point no 9 which was supposed to be the point no 7. Which reads as intentional self injury and the use of intoxicating drugs.

Giving these baseless reasons they rejected my claim. A few points which i would like to highlight.
1. During taking this policy i had already informed them of my occasional drinking habits.
2. Duodenitis - can happen by bacterial infection as well and by taking an overdose of alcohol as well. And i had just consumed 2 units of alcohol. That too 48-72 hours before i faced the issue.

When i was taking the policy i had clearly mentioned that i consume alcohol and that too very occasionally and when the doctor asked me i made a complete disclosure about the same.

Star insurance did not even verify the actual reason and declined my claim.
According to me this a general fraud which insurance companies run and i seek to get justice out of this complaint.

Details of incidence and the resolution i seek areas below.
Date of admission - 17th and 18th september.
Customer id[protected]
Desired resolution - acceptance of claim and refund of complete treatment amount of rs. 20, 000

Dear sir,

I want to raise complaint against star health insurance.

Please take strict action against these kind of spammers

My daughter - r. Ritharshana was having fever and cough and was admitted in dr. Jayasekharan hospital and nursing home, k. P. Road, nagercoil, tamil nadu on 05/09/2018.
Doa-05/09/2018,
Dod-10/09/2018.
I was denied the claim for no apparent reason.
I called up the customer care and was informed that my baby had a pre-existing cleft palate condition and hence the claim cannot be accepted. However, cleft palate was surgically treated without making any claims.

The current claim is has no relation to it and hence i would like to request a refund for the hospital bill amount - rs 11215. Pfa medical summary
