Know what are the Documents Required to have a smooth Claim Process
Most of us feel secure when we buy a health insurance policy as it protects us against an unforeseen event. But, we only value a health insurance policy at the time of making a claim. There can be situations when the claim can be rejected maybe when the health insurance policy has lapsed, in case of non-payment of the insurance premium, and so on.
