Dear Seniors,

I have Health Insurance from my company. Actually am suffering from Dizziness and slurring of speech. I had admitted in the Hospital in an emergency due to panic attack and dizziness, people took me to the emergency ward. Immediately doctor had taken MRI and some blood test but found normal. So at the time of releasing from the hospital Doctor told me to stay for one day because i have an Insurance. Actually he wanted to thoroughly check, why it is happening like that.

I stayed for 24 hrs in the hospital, but Doctor didn't do any surgery. Just they did all checkups and given some tablets but found normal.

Now the insurance company is denying to approve my claim as the hospital's officials charged around Rs.37443/-, because they didn't do any treatment or surgery. But they did checkups to find out the disease.

I took this concern to the Hospital's higher officials, but he is saying that Insurance company should approve your claim. All these checkups come under treatment only. If they are denying to approve then take this issue to the consumer court.

Please help me what should i tell them to get back my amount from the insurance company.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Muqtadir,

Insurance claims are processed for the hospitalisation arising out of to some disease. Therefore, what matters is what diagnosis that doctors have written in the medical certificate. Is that disease covered under the insurance?

Secondly, when you admitted, why you did not use your cashless card (issued by the health by insurance companies)? Sooner you got admitted did you inform the insurance authorities? This is because sooner they receive information of admission, they visit the hospital and verify the authenticity of the admission. Above all is that hospital (where you were admitted) "approved" by the health insurance company?

Go to the office of health insurance company and talk to them. Find out why the health insurance claim was turned down. Find out will they accept any fresh medical certificate.

The last resort is to file complaint in "Consumer Forum". However, before that I recommend you reading thoroughly the conditions under which health insurance claims are processed. Find out whether they are contradicting.

Ok...

Dear Dinesh,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, this disease covered under cashless facility because i fell down on road while going to home from the office in the evening. I had admitted in the Care Hospital Banjara Hills here in Hyderabad on 30th May and discharged on 1st of June. Yes, this Hospital come under Network facility and it is approved by the Insurance company, that's why they had admitted in the Hospital because i have insurance. I

I think when i admitted, the Hospital's people didn't send any mail to Insurance company regarding me, because i had admitted in the eve around 8.15PM.

Apart from that when i admitted in the Hospital, immediately Doctors asked me if you have insurance then submit initials to the Insurance counter before that they didn't even start any treatment. So, i had shown them TPA-Mediassist card which i got from the ICICI LOMBARD insurance company and same i submitted it to the insurance counter, after submitting the photo copy of insurance card then only they started doing treatment.

Whether should i speak to my HR regarding this issue or not required.

Ok, i will do as you said, will go and check from the Insurance company.

Thanks once again !!!

Hi Muqtadir, It is a good idea to keep your HR informed. If you request your HR, they will check with the Insurer and sort things out. May you get well soon! Cheers! Radhika

Hi,
Is this a group policy taken by your organisation for all the employees?
Than i would suggest your take guidance and check with your admin who is one point contact handling insurance queries in the organisation and maybe ask him to speak to the insurance agent as why the same is not getting cleared.

Dear S.A.Muqtadir
First of all you know one thing Mediclaim health insurance is claim is payable only in required of 24 hours hospitalization with necessity.
In your case there is no necessity to admit in INPATIENT CARE it takes in out patient care thats only your claim rejected.
In a view of your wordings only medical tests only taken there is no scope of treatment. In my view the claim is not Payable.
May be your TPA is correct.
this is not valid claim to prove in Grievance , Ombudsman.IRDA.
Dont waste your Time. after discharge you should mention your doctor to prescribed clearly in Discharge summary.
Thanks & Regards

Your case is not coming under hospitalization but OP treatment. That’s why Insurance companies turned down your claim. Normally, they approve the claim for hospitalisation. Pon
