Consumer Commissions Order Health Insurers to Settle Disputed Medical Claims
Two consumer commissions ruled against health insurers for denying claims. In Rohtak, a panel ordered a company to reimburse medical expenses with interest and compensation after failing to process a pancreatitis claim and not informing the insured about needed documents. In Kerala, the Thrissur commission directed National Insurance to pay over Rs 2 lakh for a heart treatment claim rejected due to unproven pre-existing conditions. Both rulings cited insurer deficiencies in service and emphasized timely claim processing and evidence-based decisions.
