Policy cancelled over ‘hypertension’, insurer ordered to restore it, pay Rs 1.10 lakh
The Hyderabad consumer commission found officials of Aditya Birla Health Insurance guilty of poor service after they wrongly rejected a senior citizen's claim and cancelled his policy due to alleged non-disclosure of hypertension. The commission ordered the insurer to reimburse the policyholder's hospitalization expenses of Rs 93,000, restore his health insurance policy, and pay Rs 15,000 as compensation. The policy was in force for over five years, and the officials failed to provide evidence supporting their decision.
