Hospitalisation: -
In a health policy, hospitalization is one of the main situation for which the policyholder can get reimbursed. The policyholder needs to be hospitalized to get the benefit of the policy. But one also has to make sure that the conditions are fulfilled to get a reimbursement for hospitalization. If the treatment is done at home the policyholder might not get the benefit. So, in order to avail the benefit it is better to be hospitalized although the same treatment can be done at home as well. And in case the patient cannot be taken to the hospital the insurance company should be aware of the same so that you can get the compensation for the expenditure. Always follow the terms and conditions laid down by the insurance company so that your claim does get rejected.
Pre-existing diseases
If the policyholder is suffering from a disease before availing the policy then it is known as a pre-existing disease. While applying for a policy there certain terms and conditions for individual who have a pre-existing disease. Most of the insurance companies do not have a cover for pre-existing diseases. Which means the insurance company will not reimburse if the claim is for that particular disease. There are policies where the pre-existing disease can get covered but the insurer would have specific conditions where the policyholder would need to follow. For example the policyholder would need to be invested in the policy for a particular duration to avail the benefit for a pre-existing disease. Like most insurers have a condition where the policyholder if with a pre-existing disease of the heart would get insured only after 2 years from the time the policy is taken.
Limited payment
There are also hindrances when it comes to making certain types of payments, where there could be a limited payment offered by the insurer. Like there could be restrictions for payments of doctor’s fees. The policyholder should make sure what all the restrictions are so that he gets covered for whatever amount of claim.
Disclosure
Lastly to avoid a rejection for a claim it is advisable to disclose any existing disease. If found out later the policyholder can be denied the reimbursement. Hence the policyholder should be clear and mention all the prevailing or past diseases to avoid a rejection.
