New India Assurance Health Policy: FAQs

Q: I already have life insurance. Do I need a health insurance policy?

Ans: Life insurance does not help you in paying rising medical bills. A health insurance cover protects you against unexpected health-related costs, enables you to deal with hospitalisation and takes care of your expenses.

Q: What is the difference between a mediclaim policy and a health insurance policy?

Ans: Mediclaim policy only brings coverage against hospitalisation and treatment expenditure for pre-specified illnesses (as per the sum insured). However, your healthcare insurance covers both pre and post hospitalisation expenses.

Q: What's the right level of cover for me?

Ans: It would depend on your age, annual income, medical background, lifestyle, pre-existing diseases, members of your family and residential address.

Q: How can I avoid being underinsured?

Ans: By making a careful assessment of your needs, opting for an adequate sum insured, going through the exclusions/conditions thoroughly and seeking help from professional comparison portals.

Q: Can you please explain New India Assurance's claim settlement process?

Ans: In case of your planned hospitalisation, contact the insurer's Third-Party Administrator (TPA) 48 hours before hospitalisation and for any unplanned one, it should be done 48 hours within hospitalisation.

• Cashless claims: Hospital submits a pre- hospitalisation form to the TPA. The claim settlement is made directly to the network hospital.
• Reimbursement claims: The policyholder submits supporting documents with the duly filled claim form to the TPA. The amount directly gets transferred to your bank account.
