Now, COVID-19 has been declared as a pandemic therefore, you need to check with the health insurance company as they might be unable to settle the claim under the health insurance policy under such a situation.

What is Health Insurance Portability?

Health insurance policies are portable, which means the policyholder can transfer their policy from one insurance company to another. In the past, when a policyholder opted for this option, it resulted in them losing certain benefits, such as the waiting period for covering pre-existing ailments. However, now the insurance regulator protects the policyholder by giving the individual the right to port his or her health insurance policy to another insurer, keeping the benefits intact. The regulator has stated that the new insurer “shall allow for credit gained by the insured for a pre-existing condition(s) in terms of waiting period”.
