I wish to inform you, two cases in which bribe was paid to the passing authority of the mediclaim and claimant get the payment of his mediclaim easily. Policy NO. 081702/48/05/12/ ******* which was issued by M/s UNITED INDIA INSURANCE COMPANY, BRANCH OFFICE MODINAGAR for the period 01.03.06 to 28.02.07 in the name of Mr D.K. **********, has filed the mediclaim for Rs Approx 26000/- of his wife for Breast Cancer operation which was done at AIIM – Delhi . during August 2006, passing authority of the case, has objected that because the claimant/patient is unable to submit the fitness certificate from the hospital and as per clause of the policy is that in the case of cancer operation, fitness certificate is necessary so your mediclaim may be rejected. Then the claimant has paid the bribe of Rs. 3000/- to the passing authority then payment of mediclaim was released immediately. Sir I am giving second case in which bribe was paid to the above same person and same company. Policy NO. 081702/48/06/12/ ******* In the name of Mr A.K. **********, has filed the mediclaim for Rs Approx 14000/- of his wife for eye operation which was done at Modinagar. Passing authority of the case, has objected that because the patient was discharged from the hospital next day and as per clause of the policy is that in case of hospitalization , hospital should be a nursing home and have at least 7 beds accommodations but this a only Doctor's Clinic so that your mediclaim may be rejected then the claimant has paid the bribe of Rs. 1000/- to the passing authority then payment of mediclaim was released immediately. It has come to our notice in other cases also that this tipe of bribe, Approx 10% of total claim is being received by the passing authority of insurance companies for passing mediclaim.
