Now, you can renew your health insurance policies very easily and rightfully. From June, 2009 even non-life insurance companies also will renew your health insurance. A new terms & condition announces that such rejection will be rare and exceptional now.

According to the news no insurance companies can reject renewing your health insurance policies now which you have claimed previous years or during premium renewing cover arbitrarily.

IRDA (Insurance Regulatory & Development Authority) announced in news with Hindustan Times, “ordinarily renewable except on grounds such as fraud, moral hazard or misrepresentation of facts. Specifically, renewal shall not be denied on the ground that the insured had made a claim in the previous years.”

If insurer proposed to increase your premium while renewing your insurance policy then they would have to inform you before three months for it. Along with it they would have to explain all the details with reasons.

J Hari Narayan who is the chairman of IRDA told with HT in a press, “There were several complaints from policy-holders who had claimed earlier that their insurers have refused renewing their policies next year without giving reasons for rejection.”

From now the prospects of health insurance will be upfront with all the details including all coverage. Maximum age to renew will be decided. All the details of pre-existing diseases will be in details.
