Oriental Insurance Health Insurance FAQ’s

The premium paid on a health insurance policy is eligible for deduction under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act. So save with your policy now!

A deductible is a cost-sharing requirement. It states that the insurer will not be liable for a specified amount in case of indemnity policies. This is applicable for a specified number of days/hours in case of hospital cash policies which apply before any benefits are payable by the insurer. Remember that a deductible does not reduce your sum insured.

In planned hospitalization the treatment is planned well in advance. The intimation of such hospitalization and authorization from us has to be taken minimum 3 days prior to the date of hospitalization. E.g. Cataract, pace maker implantation, total knee replacement etc are examples for which the hospitalisation can be planned.The insured person should at least 3 days prior to admission to the hospital approach the network provider for hospitalization for medical treatment.

In emergency hospitalization the patient is admitted to the hospital in an emergency situation, for e.g. Severe abdominal pain, accident, heart attack etc. In such event, we should be intimated within 48 hours of admission to the hospital.

You should carry the health card provided by the company with this policy, along with a valid photo identification proof (voter id card / driving license / passport / pan card / any other identity proof as approved by the company).
