HEALTH INSURANCE - THE UNHEALTHY PREAMBLE
THE INSURANCE TIMES|September 2022
Please do not confuse the word Preamble in insurance to the Preamble of our Constitution. Both are different.

HEALTH INSURANCE - THE UNHEALTHY PREAMBLE

The insurance companies use the word preamble in their Policy Wording. These days and in order to save on paper, the insurers request us to download Policy Wording from their website. However, it is another matter that they do not mention exactly from where in the website this policy wording to be downloaded leaving the policyholder clueless!

In this article, we shall examine the Preamble or an Introduction or Foreword or Preface of seven insurance companies. Why seven insurance companies? Number & the insurers both were a random pick. The companies thus chosen are: 1) Aditya Birla Health Insurance Company 2) Edelweiss General Insurance Company 3) ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company 4) IFFCO TOKIO General Insurance Company 5) Liberty General Insurance Company 6) Life Insurance Corporation of India 7) Star Health and Allied Insurance Company.
