IRDAI का नया Rule 2025: अब Health Insurance Claim Reject Karna Hua Mushkil

Kya Badla? Short Summary

• Clear reasons mandatory: Insurer ko rejection ka detailed written reason dena hoga.
• Time-bound decisions: Claim decision fixed timelines me; delay par penalty/interest ka scope.
• Standard documents: Documents ka list pre-defined; “extra” papers mangne ki aadat par check.
• Mis-selling clampdown: Galat promise ya sales pitch se hua dispute to onus insurer par.
• Grievance escalation: Rejection se pehle pre-closure discussion aur easy escalation path.

Policyholders ke Liye Direct Benefit

Pehle claim reject hota tha to reason “policy terms as per clause xyz” jaise vague lines me milta tha. Ab plain-English explanation dena padega—kaunsi clause, kaunsi date, kaunsa document missing, sab clearly likhna hoga. Isse aapko turant samajh aayega ki problem kaha thi aur usko kaise fix karna hai.

Real-Life Impact (Simple Scenarios)

• Cashless me delay? Hospital panel + insurer ko TAT follow karna hoga. Unreasonable delay par escalation fast.
• Document confusion? Standard list ke bahar ke papers ke liye specific justification dena hoga.
• Pre-existing illness dispute? Disclose ki hui info ko ignore karke reject nahi kiya ja sakta; investigation audit-trail maintain karna hoga.

Aap Ab Kya Karein? (Pro Tips)

• Disclosure clean rakho: Proposal form me jo bimaari, test, medication ho—clarity se likho.
• Records maintain: Policy copy, e-cards, OPD/IPD bills, diagnostic reports ko drive me store rakho.
• Network hospital check: Cashless smooth rahta hai; admission se pehle TPA/insurer ko ping karo.
• Escalation path yaad rakho: Insurer → Grievance Officer → Ombudsman/IRDAI Grievance.

Kya Insurers Ab Har Claim Pay Karenge?

Nahi. Genuine exclusions (jaise waiting period, non-payable items, fraud) par denial possible hai. Par rejection ka process ab fair aur audit-ready hoga. Matlab, agar denial hai to kyun hai—ye aapko clearly likhkar milna chahiye.
