Impact of Undisclosed Pre-Existing Conditions on Health Insurance Claims
Health insurance claims can be affected if pre-existing conditions, including those of parents, are not disclosed during policy purchase. Insurers assess whether omissions were material and influenced underwriting decisions before rejecting claims or canceling policies. The definition of pre-existing diseases changed from April 2024, focusing on conditions diagnosed or treated within 36 months before policy start. Experts emphasize that not all non-disclosures lead to claim denial, but transparency is crucial to avoid complications during claim settlement.
