  1. Hi Ronak

    I know you are really not happy on this . But I think its clearly your mistake for not understanding what this policy offers you. Any health insurance company (not just oriental) , always have WAITING PERIODS . And this is a very standard clause .

    For first 2 yrs, major ailments are not covered, and for first 3-4 yrs, pre-existing illness are not covered. If your agent didnt inform you about it, I know it will seem to be a mistake form his side and it is to some extent. But You cant blame him for this totally. What did you do at the time of taking the policy ? If you didnt take any effort to read the policy document and understand what policy offers and what not, I must say, this is what happens .

    I really dont think there is any solution to this and you will have to take the charge on your soulders only. Its just a case of uninformed decision from your side.

    I also have health insurance policy , and I know clearly about what it covers and in which situations.

    This is my take. I know I am not favoring you on this and blaming you more than company, but thats what the reality is .
