The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) received a note from the Association of Medical Consultants (AMC) Mumbai, which expressed concern over the insurance company's alleged preferential treatment of actor Saif Ali Khan. In its letter, the AMC criticised this occurrence as an illustration of healthcare insurance disparity. It emphasised how prominent people and business policyholders frequently get special treatment.?
Health+Life Insurance Expert Nikhil Jha shared the note on X and he note states, “The normal process is to ask for an FIR copy in medicolegal cases. The insurance company waived this requirement and immediately approved the cashless request for 25 lakhs. The final bill apparently 36 lakhs which was also approved. The surgery and stay for 4 days does not justify the huge bill and the prompt approval"
Reacting to this, many said in the comment section that their claim took ages and how this is for sure preferential treatment because of Saif’s star status.
One wrote, “This is an extreme level joke to other normal people, one of my relatives has yet to settle a genuine claim of 5 lacs.”
Another added, “My claim is pending for 1 month. Their medical team is studying a single page bill of 2.94 lakh from one month.”
A few days ago, Saif Ali Khan was stabbed several times by an intruder during a home invasion. The actor who was bleeding a lot was taken to the hospital in an auto. He underwent surgery and 5 days later was discharged from the hospital. Since then there has been a lot of chatter around his ‘miraculous’ recovery and insurance claim. Saif or his family are yet to comment on the matter.?
