Congenital disease for HDFC Ergo claim
15 Dec, 2022
by Krishna Chaitanya
Hi, Do we have waiting period for congenital disease? Hdfc Ergo is saying it is PED and waiting period is 48 months. Even though I raised sum insured from 5 lacs to 10 lacs one and half year ago, they are saying as per 5 lacs only amount will be given. I am saying daughter hearing loss is by birth so it is congenital disease not PED so no waiting period allowed for this. Please clarify if I am wrong.

Dear Krishna,
All health issues before taking policy will fall under pre existing disease waiting period.
If you are increasing coverage in renewal so whatever new coverage is selected will have waiting period.
In your case 5 lakhs to 10 lakhs enhancement additional 5 lakhs coverage will have waiting period.
I hope I clarified your query
Thanks and Regards
