No, group health insurance policy is usually not subject to waiting period be it for any Pre-Existing Disease condition (PED) e.g.: Diabetes, Blood Pressure, Heart disease, etc., or Specified Diseases e.g.: Sinus, Knee replacement, Cataract, etc unlike retail insurance. However, this might change if your organisation has opted for a waiting period. For more clarification, you can view your policy handguide.
Due to technological and medical advancements, certain treatments and surgeries can be administered and conducted within few hours without getting hospitalised. Examples include chemotherapy, cataract, kidney stone removal, dialysis, etc. These are called as Day care procedures and will get covered under the policy even if you get discharged on the same day.
Yes, COVID -19 is covered under the policy if you are hospitalised for minimum 24 hours and the SP02 level at the time of hospitalisation was less than 90.
No, the quarantine expenses like hotel isolation, RTPCR/other diagnostic reports, medicines, doctor consultation, etc would not be covered under the policy.
Most insurance policies do not cover OPD expenses like doctor consultation, pharmacy, lab test. But any such expenses incurred 30 days before or 60 days after hospitalisation will be covered under the policy. These expenses are termed as Pre and post hospitalization expenses.

A policy e-card is a health insurance identity proof that holds your personal details, policy information and financial coverage under a health insurance plan. It offers cashless payment options to pay for your medical bills arising from hospitalisation and other treatment charges.
Please note that in case at any time you are unable to locate your Policy e-card, you may obtain the same from your assigned claims manager.
There is no limit on the number of times you can claim during the year.
No, you can get treatment at any hospital other than a hospital blacklisted by the insurer. But for a better experience and to avoid the hassle of paying first and then filing for a claim, it is always recommended to take treatment at a network hospital.
There is no harm to hold multiple health insurance policies. You have an option to choose the policy under which you wish to make the claim first. It is recommended to use your Group Health policy first, since claim settlement is faster and simpler as compared to your personal insurance. If the claim amount is higher than the sum insured under your group health policy on which you first made the claim, you can claim the balance bill amount from your personal policy.
Insurance companies have tie-ups with several hospitals all over the country as part of their network. If you take treatment in any of the network hospitals, the insurance company pays your (admissible) hospital bills to the hospital directly. You would only need to pay for the expenses not covered under the policy to the hospital. Cashless facilities are not available if you take treatment in a hospital that is not in the network.
Please follow the below steps for claiming cashless treatment:
Please follow the below steps for reimbursement of claims :
When a part of amount is not approved under cashless facility, you can subsequently, on discharge from the hospital, submit the claim for reimbursement.

For deletions, a pro-rata refund is credited to the employer’s ledger account with the insurer. This balance is used to adjust the cases of additions, if any. For any deficit that remains post adjustment, the balance needs to be settled instantly by the employer for processing of the additions. Surplus if any in the ledger account will be refunded at the end of the year.

The room rent restriction is expressed in terms of percentage of Sum Insured (SI) per day for Normal Rooms and ICU. Let’s take an example – say if sum insured (SI) is Rs. 3 lacs and room rent limit is 2% of SI per day for Normal & 4% of SI per day for ICU. If any employee is admitted to a hospital where per day normal room rent charges are Rs.8K whereas allowable room rent limit under the policy is Rs. 6K (2% of 3 lacs), then not just the room rent but the entire hospital bill (excluding medical consumables, diagnostic fees, medical devices) will be settled on a pro-rata basis in the ratio of allowable room rent (6K) to actual room rent (8K) i.e. 75%. This means 25% of the hospitalization bill would need to be borne by the employees out-of-pocket.

Pre-existing diseases (PED) are such which are already known to the patient at the time of policy inception. Eg. Hypertension, Diabetes, Asthama, Thyroid, High Cholesterol etc. For any treatments that are linked to these PED conditions disclosed by the patient, the same would be subject to waiting period unless waived off. (Eg. Angioplasty for a hypertension patient).
Specific diseases (SD) are slow moving diseases where patients undergo planned surgeries such as removal of kidney stones and cataract. In many cases, the patient is even unaware that he is suffering from such health conditions and it does not bother him in short term unless the health condition aggravates. Unless waived off, these specific diseases are subject to blanket waiting period of 2 years regardless of patient aware/unaware of these conditions. An indicative list of such diseases are as follows:
1) Knee/Joint Replacement Surgery
2) Sinus, Tonsils
3) Kidney Stones
4) Cataract Surgery
5) Skin Tumours
6) Hysterectomy
7) Fissures
8) Hernia
9) Varicose Veins
10) Genetic Disorders
The waiting period is the time span in which the insured cannot claim the benefits of health insurance. For instance, the waiting period for pre-existing diseases in many policies is around 2-3 years.

Co–pay or coinsurance is a certain percentage of the total claim amount which should be paid by the policyholder. The remaining amount will be paid by the insurance company. For example, you might have to pay 20% of the expenses and the rest is covered by your insurance company. This is called a 20% copay. Ideally, you should try to get a cover that has zero copay, which would mean that the entire amount, in the event of hospitalization, would be paid by the insurer.

Pre -hospitalization coverage refers to the coverage of any expenses incurred by the policyholder before the hospitalization. Common costs like a consultation, diagnostics, etc., that have occurred during a fixed period of time before the hospitalization can be covered.
Post -hospitalization coverage refers to the coverage of expenses incurred after the policyholder has been discharged from the hospital. For ex, common instances like follow-ups, tests, and medicines fall under post-hospitalization coverage.

You suffer from high blood pressure but you manage to find a health insurance policy that covers your pre-existing disease, woohoo! However, there’s a catch. As per your policy guidelines, you have to wait 2 years before you can make a claim for any treatment that occurs because of your high-blood pressure.
What this means is that even if you suffer from a stroke, or any disease that is remotely connected to your current condition before the waiting period is over, your insurance company is not liable to pay for the expenses. Unfortunately, waiting periods are a common clause in most policies. The best choice here is to look for one with no or a minimum waiting period for your ailment.
Co–pay or coinsurance is a certain percentage of the total claim amount which should be paid by you, the policyholder. The remaining amount will be paid by the insurance company.
