  • How do I enroll in the insurance program?
    • Enrollment is the process of getting your employees and their dependents to sign up for the insurance. You have a window period of 45 days from the plan launch date to get enrolled in any of the plans under this program. 
    • We will provide you with the online link for uploading the employee’s database which then will let you know the premium. You can then remit the premiums online. You will also provide the GST details to confirm that the company is either a proprietorship, private limited, or public limited. 
    • Your coverage will start from the date you provide the employee details and make the premium payment or any other designated date. 
    • You and your employees will be provided with individual login Ids
  • Can I add family members to the plan after I have purchased the policy? 
    • Yes.  However, these additions during the midterm will be restricted to natural additions ( newlywed spouse, or newborn baby). You cannot add dependent parents midterm of the policy. 
  • What is the claim process under this insurance? 
    • Both cashless and reimbursement claims are paid under this insurance. The insurer has a wide network of hospitals across India for cashless settlement of claims. Reimbursement claims will be paid within 30 days of submission of all documents. 
  • Will I get health cards for cashless treatments? What are the conditions for cashless claims?
    • Every individual member who is enrolled in the insurance will get an electronic card (cashless health card) that can be used at hospitals for availing cashless treatments. However, cashless treatments are possible only in a network of hospitals. If you take treatment in a non-network hospital, you can only take reimbursement of the claim. 
  • I am a single employee organisation and only want to cover myself - We welcome you to take either Plan 1 or Plan 2. The premiums in plan one are only for Self while in Plan 2  you will need to pay the premium as per the family rates. We know this is inflexible for now but to keep the administration manageable, we have to keep it this way as we launch
  • I already have a health insurance policy. If I purchase, can I claim from this insurance as well?
    • In case you have more than one policy, either a personal cover or coverage through a spouse insurance plan, you can always claim under both policies. This claim typically takes care of unpaid bill amounts due to capping in some policies. Such amounts will be either unpaid due to room rent capping, treatment capping for example in Maternity claims. In any event, the amount claimed from all polices cannot exceed your overall cost of the hospital bill
  • Are Outpatient expenses (OPD) covered under the plan? 
    •  In case of hospitalisation under the policy, all Outpatient expenses - 30 days before the date of admission and 60 days after the date of discharge, related to the main hospitalisation will be paid. Stand-alone OPD charges are not covered in these highly cost effective plans.
  • Taxation benefit - In case the premiums are being recovered from the employee’s salary, you will need to mention that on Form 16. In which case, individually the employees can take advantage of tax benefit under section 80D
  • List of Network Hospitals where Cashless is available - Do read this article 
  • Same Day Surgeries - Day Care Treatment - Yes, they are covered. Typically the policy says that all such treatments which took 24 hours or more but due to technology advancements can now be done in  less than 24 hours, they will also be covered. These are also called day care treatments
  • Special Service Benefits - Eyes, Dental Care, Skin - Anything which arises out of any illness, injury or disease that requires hospitalisation for 24 hours will be covered. Normal checkups for  eyes, dental etc will not be covered on stand alone basis 
  • No Claim Bonus. -This feature. is typical of retail health insurance plans. Since this is a group plan, NCB is not available 
  • Claim Process and Dispute Resolution -  Our experience suggests that claim disputes often arise due to pre existing disease and its interpretation, whether the hospitalisation was required for 24 hours or not etc. There are standard processes involved here and most plans cover pre existing, so we feel  such  disputes  may be minimal if any.  While PlanCover.com will provide all support for claims, in the. event there is still  an unresolved matter  for  you, we will also  guide  you  for  a formal claim dispute mechanisms  -  whether it be via ombudsman, consumer courts or the grievance cell of the insurer and IRDAI


Portability of Group Health Insurance to Retail Health Insurance Plans
For various reasons people exit group plans. The most common reason is leaving the organisation which is enrolled into these plans. If such an event was to happen, the employee ( and covered members in the family ) have an option of seeking portability. Portability of health insurance allows for an individual to take coverage under a new plan and get credit for the time he or she has spent earlier under a different policy. These credit go towards waiving off the waiting periods that are there in a retail policy. Under this plan any member leaving the group can avail portability benefits. This will however, be following the policies laid down by the insurer for portability cases and aligned to the IRDAI guidelines on portability.
Our team will be more than happy to have this be organised for you. Just raise a ticket on this platform.
