IndianMoney.com Review of Health Insurance Plan Exclusions
IRDAI has set up a 10 member committee which will look into these exclusions and suggest necessary changes. During its review, the committee will:
  1. Perform study to examine present exclusions so that these can be minimized.
  2. Identify exclusions that must continue.
  3. Make terminologies simpler for consumers to understand.
  4. Examine scope of ailment and individual specific exclusions (permanent) that are used during underwriting process. This will help in ensuring that someone’s claim is not denied due to a reason that is not related to exclusions.
