As an individual, you can have more than one insurance policy. It’s completely legal. You can use more than one policy, as and when you need. This also means you can claim from either one or both policies, albeit a few conditions. What you need to remember is - you cannot raise the same claim with two different insurers and you cannot claim more than the sum assured. However, if the expenses you incur exceed the sum insured, you can use the second policy to pay the remainder amount.

Daycare procedures require you to be admitted in hospital for under 24 hours. Typically, if you’re admitted for under 24 hours and the procedure you’re undergoing is not covered under the daycare list, then it’s not eligible for a claim. In order to make a claim, the minimum period for hospitalization is 24 hours or the procedure should fall under the daycare list.

Twice a month. Between 3 PM to 4 PM or 5 PM to 6 PM.

For employers, the premium paid to provide a group insurance policy for employees in India can be deemed as a business expense. According to the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, this expense is eligible for tax benefits.

Room taxes (service taxes only, and not luxury taxes or surcharges) are ordinarily not payable.

Caution: Some hospitals do not inform the patient about the applicability of luxury taxes and surcharges until the time of discharge. Please ask your hospital about any hidden charges prior to the admission to avoid unplanned expenses.

Yes, Loop offers comprehensive and cheap group health insurance plans at affordable costs, including COVID-19 cover.  

 There are two types of claims - cashless claims and reimbursement claims. Both work differently. 

• Cashless claims - In the cashless claims option, the insurer directly makes payment to the network hospital with you paying a minimal amount. For this to be possible, you must visit a network hospital that’s a part of your provider’s network hospital. Your group health plan must cover the condition you or your family member is diagnosed with. 
• Reimbursement claims - In this process, you can visit any hospital of your choice, undergo treatment, and make the payment as usual. After your discharge, you can contact your insurer and file for a reimbursement claim along with the necessary documents. Upon approval, the amount will be transferred to your account.

No, group policies don’t come with a no-claim bonus benefit.

The standard reimbursement claim processing time is 3 to 4 working weeks.
