I have a Mediclaim insurance policy (senior citizens) from National Insurance co Ltd. My wife was operated for Knee replacement surgery.

Dear Sir, Greetings of the day. I have got a health insurance of family floater type from Tata AIG for a sum of four lakhs. Recently, I got hospitalised and full four lakhs was paid by Tata Aig. But my hospital bill was six lakhs and sixty two thousand. So there was a shortfall of two lakhs sixty-two thousands. I have an Aditya Birla health Policy of family floater type for 45 lakhs. But it will come in to effect after 5 lakhs expenditure. So I myself paid one lakh from my pocket. And for rest one lakh sixty two thousand only I applied for cashless to Aditya Birla .But they denied it. Finally I paid that amount myself and came home. Afterwards I kept continuous follow up with them. Reconsideration and reminder letter was sent by TPA and Treating doctor. But again it was rejected. Now Aditya Birla employee is saying apply for reimbursement. When Tata Aig is clearing full amount, how come Aditya Birla is denying it? And how can I bridge the gap one lakh between two policies? Tata Aig says you have taken full claim so we cannot make your limit from four to five lakhs this year. Pls advise suitably. Best Wishes

One of my relatives who had health insurance incurred huge medical expenses year after year, but the insurance company reimbursed whatever coverage was there during the date of admission period. The medical expenses incurred in the following year was denied on the grounds that it could be claimed in the previous year when the patient was admitted, but the insured amount under the policy has exhausted. I seek your as to why it cannot be claimed in the following year as the insurance policy has been renewed. What does the insurance act states.
