Lately, a majority of private hospitals in the state are declining cashless treatment facility for Covid-19 to mediclaim policyholders
Vadodara: With the new notification giving a protocol for admission of Covid-19 patients and inspection teams verifying if admissions were justified, many may be concerned about the fate of their medical insurances if the notification is made a ground for denying mediclaim.
But experts and lawyers say that insurance companies cannot turn down claims on such grounds.
“The civic body has only issued guidelines for regulating the availability of beds in such times. Since it is not a law, the insurance companies cannot use them for rejecting the claims,” said prominent lawyer Jaideep Verma.
