Delhi Consumer Commissions Order Health Insurers to Pay Claims After Denials
Two Delhi consumer commissions ruled against health insurers for denying claims. In one case, Care Health Insurance was ordered to pay Rs 40.76 lakh after rejecting a travel insurance claim following a man's death in a US accident, citing improper document requests. In another, Aditya Birla Health Insurance was directed to refund Rs 44,354 and pay compensation after revoking a cashless hospitalisation approval mid-treatment and rejecting the claim. Both rulings found deficiencies in insurer services and unfair trade practices.
