How do non-medical expenses affect my claim?

Modified on Fri, 15 Jul, 2022 at 11:55 AM

The IRDA (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority) has norms to restrict the misuse of health insurance and has segregated certain expenses that you may incur during hospitalization as non-medical expenses. 


Some non-medical expenses are like cotton, bandages, spirit, disinfectant, registration/admission charges, etc.


Insurance companies are not obliged to compensate the same during settlement of the claim and the member will need to pay for these expenses.
