Why health claims get rejected

Most rejections trace to non-disclosure at purchase, a waiting period not yet served, an exclusion in the policy, or a lapse in cover. Nearly all of it is preventable at the point of buying rather than at the point of claiming.

Why it matters to a household

Nearly all of it is preventable at the point of buying rather than at the point of claiming.

Where it trips people up

Letting an agent fill the proposal form. Anything undisclosed — a condition, a habit, a previous claim — becomes grounds for rejection later.

In an Indian household

Disclose everything, including a condition you believe is minor. A policy issued with full disclosure is far harder to contest.
