Hospitalization due to accident is covered from the day policy is underwritten (Reader please note that mere acceptance of check or even clearance of check from your account does not mean that Health Insurance has commenced. In case Health Check up is required – specially those who are above age 45, policy is underwritten only after receipt of the medical reports) Warming Up period refers to waiting period before Insurance Company will entertain any claim for hospitalization due to illness.
