CHENNAI/HYDERABAD: Siblings Alpa and Chetan Mehta ran up bills of Rs 65,000 undergoing Covid-19 treatment at home in New Delhi. Despite being covered for domiciliary treatment, their claim was rejected by their insurer as the ‘standard line of treatment was not followed’. The Mehtas have reached out to the insurance ombudsman and are awaiting a response.
In April, T Vijaya, 61, of Hyderabad lodged a claim for Rs 19,400 for Covid-19 home treatment but received only Rs 12,000 under her family floater plan.
