Today, a health insurance policy is a must to tackle soaring healthcare costs. However, these policies often exclude lifestyle diseases, which are also on the rise. Hence, it is important to know what is not covered by health insurance and what pre-existing conditions will not be covered by the policy to stay financially prepared. However, irrespective of what is not covered by health insurance, a smart way to address any medical expense affordably is to use the Bajaj Finserv Digital Health EMI Network Card.

This fully digital health card can be used at over 5,500 healthcare partners in more than 1,000 cities in India. With it you can avail 800+ treatments for you and your family on No Cost EMIs. This card works like a health insurance in that it saves you from large, upfront out-of-pocket expenses and reduces your monthly medical outgo to small instalments. You get a pre-approved limit of up to Rs.4 lakh to pay for the treatment(s) and a tenure of up to 24 months to make your EMIs affordable. With a hassle-free solution to cover your insurance policy’s exclusions, you now have one less thing to worry about!

Here’s more on the treatments not covered under health insurance and how the Digital EMI Network Card benefits you.

What pre-existing conditions are not covered by health insurance plans?

Pre-existing conditions are diseases you suffer from at the time of purchasing the health insurance policy. These conditions are normally excluded from coverage till the specified waiting period is over. Below are some common pre-existing conditions that are excluded by health insurance policies-

• Diabetes

• Cancer

• Depression

• Epilepsy

• Atherosclerosis

• Sleep apnoea

• Acne

• Anxiety

• Extreme obesity

What other treatments are excluded from insurance coverage?

The following treatments normally fall out of the ambit of health insurance plans:

• Cosmetic treatments: Health insurance policies exclude beauty-enhancing cosmetic treatments and dental cosmetics. Since these treatments are often elective, coverage is restricted. If the treatment is deemed medically necessary or recommended to help you recuperate from an accident, you can get coverage.

• Pregnancy-related treatments: C-sections, delivery and post-natal expenses are often the subject of an additional maternity insurance rider. Similarly, couples are often left to finance the new-born’s medical costs themselves.

• Alternative treatments: Alternative medicines such as homeopathy and Ayurveda generally do not attract coverage as these treatments are conidered to be unregulated.

• Diagnostic procedures: Diagnostic expenses, like blood tests, complete blood count, lipid profile, and biopsy are excluded from health policies. These tests can be expensive to conduct and deplete your savings.
