Policy terms and conditions will be made easier

For this, the language of the general terms and conditions of the policy agreement will be made easier (Terms for Health Insurance) and uniformity will be ensured throughout the industry. IRDAI said that all existing health insurance products which are not in line with these guidelines will be revised from April 1, 2021 at the time of renewal.

What did IRDA say?

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDAI) said that after the completion of eight consecutive years of the policy, no reconsideration of the policy will apply. After this period, no health insurance company can dispute any claim, however, it does not include proven cases of fraud. Anything that has been kept permanently separate in the policy contract will also not be considered as an inclusion. Also, all limits, sub-limits, co-payments and deductions will be applicable as per the policy agreement.

In the guidelines issued on 'Standardization of General Terms and Conditions in Health Insurance Policy Agreement', the regulator stated that this moratorium would be applicable for the first policy sum and then it increased only after the date of the sum insured for eight consecutive years will apply to the increased amount.

On claim settlement, IRDAI said that it is necessary for the insurance company to settle or reject the claim within 30 days of receiving all the necessary documents. In case of delay in payment of a claim, the regulator said that in such a situation, the insurance company will have to pay interest.
