FAQs on Tata AIG Health Insurance

  1. Is there a tax benefit under Tata AIG Health Insurance?

    Yes. Tax exemption is available under section 80D of the Income Tax Act.

  2. What is the maximum and minimum policy duration?

    Most policies come for a whole year after which they are to be renewed. However, certain policies also offer two years renewal period.

  3. Are diagnostic charges covered under Health Insurance?

  4. Can I cancel my policy midway?

  5. Is Health Insurance different from Life Insurance?

    Health Insurance covers medical expenses; Life Insurance provides financial support in case of death or disability

  6. Is Health Insurance required if I am young and Healthy?

    Yes. Health Insurance keeps you protected in case of sudden injury due to accident as well as against a host of serious sicknesses. No one knows when a medical urgency may arise. Also, Health Insurance takes care of heavy expenses that are made in case a serious medical emergency occurs.

  7. I have a Health Insurance scheme from my Employer, do I still need a personal Health Insurance policy?

    Yes. The Health Insurance policy issued by your Employer is usually non-transferrable, and hence you might face issues during job change. Also, medical records are maintained more efficiently in case a single health insurance policy is continued. Hence, it is advised to have a private policy too in addition with the company provided insurance scheme.

  8. Does this policy cover maternity/pregnancy as part of Health Insurance?

    Maternity coverage is generally not included in standard Tata AIG health plans.

    No. These treatments are not covered under a standard policy.

  11. Can I buy more than one health policy?

    Yes. In that case, both health policies will share equally (up to the sum assured) the claim among themselves and pay out your medical expense.

  12. What happens to the policy once a claim is made?

    The policy will continue normally, however, whatever is the amount of claim made that would be reduced from the sum assured. For e.g. a policy of 5 lakhs will be reduced to 3 lakhs in case a claim of 2 lakhs has already been made.

  13. What are the documents required for getting a Health Insurance policy?

     Documents such as ID proof, address proof, passport-size photographs, and medical certificate (if applicable) are the major documents required to apply for a health insurance policy.
