    Heath insurance should be no profit no gain. Governments both state and central should also participate with stakes

    I would like to maintain my previous policy directly under care insurance, which implies no intermediary (policy bazar).

     

    Last year, I had already made the payment based on the revised inflation rate, and now Policy Bazar is requesting an additional payment for the revised inflation amount. However, according to my policy terms, the amount should remain constant until I reach the age of 41 to 45.

    According to the previous conversation held with your executive, Mr. Ajay, the amount will be automatically reduced if I renew my existing policy directly with Care Insurance while maintaining the same benefits. Additionally, I will receive a 5% discount provided by Care, and the premium will be approximately between 17,500 and 18,000.

     

    I kindly request that you process my request as soon as possible.

    Worst ever policy i have seen . They are here to make money thats it

    My mother underwent coronary angiography. My cashless claim of Rs 25,000 was denied saying they cannot rule for pre existing nature of ailment after keeping me waited for 10 hrs. How can they deny the claim just by suspecting it can be preexisting.

    Never ever take Care health insurance and will not renew the existing insurance. Lessons learnt

    Dear Care Insurance Team

    CC: Grievance Redressal Officer Level 1 & 2

    CC: Grievance Redressal Officer (Level 3 – GRO)

    Before proceeding further, I would request the concerned team to kindly review the medical documents and reports submitted by Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute to the Care Insurance TPA team in support of the initial cashless authorization required to continue the treatment of My son, Master Akshit Kumar, who is 13 years old only.

    Akshit is currently undergoing treatment for pancreatic swelling, and his condition has now reached a critical stage. Due to severe weakness and continuous vomiting, he became faint and required immediate medical attention. The hospital has already obtained high-risk consent from me.

    As discussed with your customer service team, we understand that the condition is being treated medically and that continued hospitalization and treatment are currently required. Akshit has therefore been admitted to Balaji Action Medical Institute for necessary medical care.

    We (Me & Hospital) have been informed that the Cashless Claim Request, AL No. 82545400, is being continuously rejected. I therefore sincerely request the Care Insurance and TPA teams to clarify, in writing, the specific grounds and the exact policy clause under which this cashless request is being rejected again and again…….

    My family is facing an extremely difficult situation. The hospital has asked for an initial deposit of approximately INR 2.00 lakhs to continue the treatment and I am currently unable to arrange such a large amount immediately.

    The purpose of medical insurance is to provide financial support to the policyholder during precisely such medical emergencies. In this situation, when a 13-year-old child is seriously ill and requires continuous treatment, we sincerely request Care Insurance to consider the matter on humanitarian grounds and review the cashless request on an urgent basis.

    We are not asking for any special treatment beyond what is covered under the policy. I am only requesting a fair, transparent, and immediate review of the claim and a clear explanation of the reason for rejection, along with reconsideration of the cashless authorization based on the medical documents submitted by the hospital.

    This is a matter concerning the health and well-being of a 13-year-old child, and every delay in treatment can be extremely concerning for the family. I therefore, request the concerned senior authority to intervene immediately and take appropriate action so that my Son Akshit Kumar can continue receiving the necessary treatment at Balaji Action Medical Institute without further interruption.

    We sincerely hope Care Insurance will treat this matter as an emergency and provide a prompt resolution.

    Thank you for your immediate attention and support.

    Best Regards,
    Umesh Kumar

    Respected Mr. Ajay Bhardwaj,

    Thank you for Complaint No. 11144409.

    But my father Mr. Dhondiba Jadhav is admitted in Platinum Hospital Mumbai with diagnosis Post MI VSR + TVD. VSR has 80% mortality if surgery not done within 48-72 hours.
    I have already submitted Bardeshkar Hospital CAG Report dated 22/09/2026 which is the FIRST diagnosis of IHD. K/C/O mentioned by Sunrise is clerical error.
    Waiting for 2 weeks is not possible. As per IRDAI Regulations, emergency cashless should be decided within 6 hours.
    I request you to approve cashless for Policy B7583864 immediately.
    Regards,
    Sunil Jadhav
