Will my health insurance cover my expenses if I am hospitalized and am having any serious reactions or a new condition is diagnosed due to the vaccination done?

Hi Angel,

 

Yes its covered. As per the clarification provided by IRDA, Insurance companies are obliged to accept any claim in this regard.

 

Excerpt from IRDA Notification:

"There have been press reports raising doubts whether any adverse reactions to Covid-19 vaccination that require hospitalization will be covered by the health insurance policies.

It is clarified that in the unlikely event of hospitalization following adverse reaction to covid-19 vaccination, hospitalization is covered under the health insurance policies subject to the specific terms and conditions of the policy."
