      We started policy from star health insurance from year 2010 onwards but we had taken 3policies each for myself, my brother, my parents ...till 2014 there were 3 policies each . Now in 2014we decided to get all the policies merged so that the premium amount decreases as we hadnt made any cliam till date . And till date we have almost paif rs. 125000As premium. 24900*5:-. Now when we have lodged a claim the onsurance company is not ready to pay the damages as they say becoz the policy has merges the premium amount has reduced to 18000rs. We can not process the claim. Our agent mr. Danish pervez was also the one who had made us more money by giving us false hopes ans promoises as zyadya premium bharoge toh cliam jaldi milega... Would request you.to take some strict action so as to stop such frauds from happening

              It was such a horrible and the worst experience I had till date with a policy selling company like yours. Your employees have no etiquette how to talk or behave on phone while they are selling their policies. I got a call from this number- [protected]. I don't know the name of this and crazy female who talked to me regarding the star health insurance policy on 19th September, 2014 after which another employee shared the details with me and then this female called me up on 22nd Sept, 2014 to follow-up with me. I have never encountered such an ill-mannered, nonsense, and rude person in my life like this lady who was shouting on me and behaving in a totally unacceptable manner just because I told her that I am not planning to buy the policy at present and will paln for it later. After that she was cutting my phones when I called her back many times. She didn't have the guts to talk to me or pick up my phone. Just an advice from my side- Escalate this to your higher authority that they should do a background check before they hire their staff. To hell with your company, your policies and your staff. Shame on you guys. It is a sincere advice from my side to all the customers not to go for any policy or any thing being offered by this company. They are just good for nothing. Regards, Shalini

                  This idiotic company is harassing us by calling in every fifteen minutes to me from last 6 Months.
                  This company has been a problem to me.
                  They have called me thousand times.
                  Every day they call me 8-9 times with different numbers and the stupid intercom keeps me awaited on the waiting line, after that the person speaks about the insurance policy.

                  Even after saying no for many times, the day by day numbers of call is increasing.

                      First of All, This medi classic policy wasn't required to us, but we forced to purchase along with Diabetic safe policy.

                      This is an EXTRA burden to those who bought Diabetic safe policy.

                      Again, Star Health is raised premium almost doubled Rs 3500/- for Sum insured 1 Lakh to Rs 7000/- for sum insured1.5 Lakh.you said you got an approval from IRDA for same, Kindly provide me a copy of IRDA.

                      I'd like to see a copy of same.- Tier 1 and Tier 2 for Sum Insured 1.5 Lakh remains same
                      ( Why this difference for 1.5 Lakh with the rest slab.- Health checkup cost reimbursement on completion of block of 4 claim free years - USELESS for those who's SUM insured is 1.5 Lakh.

                      This means, many people come under 1.5 Lakh amount sum insured slab. Star health try to keep them in DARK.Instead of forcing this on all policies, you could given option to policy holder to opt or else, you must have obtained policy holder approval.

                      Why did you removed "No Claim Discount " ???

                        Hello, My maternal uncle is in hostipal (SPS APOLLO LUDHIANA) suffering from sever brain Hemorrhage, and he has a valid health insurance from STAR HEALTH, on the very first day, I had informed them about this incident and even submitted all the necessary documents to the hospital which was forwarded to star health. They had said that claim is not possible because of pre-disease but that is no true, patient was not suffering from any disease previously and even the doctor at APOLLO hostipal confirmed that by writing to them. Then also they denied the claim with the same stupid reason. He is still on ventilator and we are not financially that hard to continue his treatment this way. I have contacted them many times but they are not listening. The claim number is 0218727. The name of the patient is Sanjay Gupta. He was admitted at Oswal hostipal on 6th Feb, 2014 from where he was shifted to SPS APOLLO HOSPITAL LUDHIANA. He is still in ICU on ventilator and besides taking care of him, I am going through all this. They are really fooling their customers. I hope some one can help me regarding this. Thanks and Regards, Saurabh Singla Email: saurabh.[protected]@gmail.com Contact: [protected]

                        Ha, Ha, this is the biggest scam happening in India right under the IRDA's nose. EAch and every time, they have ripped helpless senior citizens with their policy and deny them their rightful claim with some bogus reason or the other. Sad state of affairs and there seems to be no recourse to this outright cheating and stealing. There are thousands and thousands of such cases going by some hospital reports, and in some places the hospitals too are in cohorts with these health insurance companies. It is better to save for your old age and health in a FD than to hand over your hard earned money to these goons who cause you so much mental anguish, trauma and harassment.

                            I have followed star health Grievance Procedure's but Grievance team late responded that written in BLUE for your ready references.

                            At last, I have totally disappointed and hopeless as basis of their procedure that means Grievance department not responded positively. so that I am marked this E-mail to IRDA authority for Level-4 because of they have been disappointed me.

                            This policy was started on 2010 to still continuing.

                            Dear Sir,


                            Today Morning I have eagerly to check my status of Claimed as mentioned in aforesaid subject through your online portal.

                            I have found 3nos. queries you have raised at your end.

                            3. Copy of indoor case papers. - Mandatory


                            First, I have called +[protected] to your customer care (Receiver Name-Ms. Chanda) for clarification regarding above queries from your end.

                            Then I have called to Cuttack branch, Mr Rajendra Sarangi, Mobile No.: +91-[protected] in same matter.


                            Previous &amp; Present Claim details elucidate:

                            I would like to inform you that My mother admitted on Dec. 2012 (not clearly remember) in M/s Kalyani Hospital, Gurgaon under Dr. R. S. Rawat (+[protected] and Star Health Field officer Dr. Saurav Sharma (+[protected] visited for Physical verification.

                              Caveat Emptor. Star Health and Allied Insurance Co Ltd. This is for the benefit of Indian citizens who avail of medical insurance. I had recently taken an Individual Medical Insurance from Star Health Assurance vide their agent in Mumbai, India. This was to oblige an agent of theirs who was very helpful to me with regard to purchase of some consumer electronic items and their repairs. I was covered by a medical insurance taken through Oriental Insurance Company for the past three years. I decided to discontinue that and shifted to Star Health Assurance on his request and advice, since I was told that the Star Health policy was cashless and accepted at Hinduja Hospitals where I had been for my medical checkups. The cover was for Rs 300, 000/-(Rupees Three hundred thousand only). One year passed and this year, in September 2013, I renewed it for Rs 5, 00, 000/- ( Rupees Five Hundred Thousand only). I have never been hospitalized and have no diseases as indicated in my medical records. The company mentioned that I would be entitled to a no claim bonus. This meant that my policy would be for Rs 5, 75, 000/-( Rupees Five Hundred and Seventy Five Thousand Only). Now, when the policy came to me, there is no mention of any No Claim Bonus and the policy was not the formal contractual document that is provided, but a single sheet of paper called a schedule which mentioned the cover amount at Rs 500, 000/- ( Rupees Five Hundred Thousand Only). My repeated requests for a revision of the documents went unheeded for two months and even after I approached a senior manager of Star Health by the name of Tarakeshwar Mishra, who argued in my favor. The response was lukewarm. I got a letter vide email, which was titled "endorsement" and mentioned some amounts which included Rs 515, 000 and also Rs 10, 00, 000/-. This did not make any sense and I approached the IRDA Ombudsman. The Ombudsman did not respond for a fortnight or so and I called them up. They responded on the second call and a token number was given. The response from Star Health to this is attached below. It is ridiculous for the following reasons: It has been sent by courier and states that I did not register my email id in my complaint with the IRDA.This is a blatant lie. The complaint itself was filed from my email id to the IRDA and forwarded by them. Star Health themselves had been corresponding with me vide my email id!! Secondly they claim that "due to some technical problems, the no-claim bonus is not getting reflected in the policy"!!! This raises the question of whether Star Health Assurance is actually qualified to be a medical insurance provider? If they do not have the systems to identify policies accurately, the amount insured correctly, how can they process cashless payments to policy holders? I think Mr T.S. Vijayan should suspend their license till they are ready to function with all their systems intact and functional. Else the company will be violating recent Supreme Court Judgements regarding provision of medical insurance beneifts. ENDS
