Hi, My father [Age-62yr] underwent Cardiac by-pass surgery in 2006 and after that he undergoes annual cardiac check-up every year. He is in good health now. I want to take a Mediclaim policy for him which covers him for any possible future hospitalization (for all generally covered diseases including his pre-existing condition). Please recommend me good options which is also not very expensive.

My Wife was Pregnant and was in 9th month. All was normal but one night we finish our dinner and went to our bed. But suddenly at midnight my wife found Heavy Bleeding. We immediately run for our Doctor treating her. She refer us to one of the Big n Best Hospital of our city. The problem raised is called Ante partrue Hemarhage [APH] according to Doctor. As due to heavy bleeding my wife was almost in shock. And to save the life of both (Baby n Mother) a Emergency LSCS was done. A baby born via Cesarean. So, I submit a file for claim against my Medical Policy with United India Insurance Co. but that was rejected by saying "Treatment arising from or traceable to Pregnancy (including Caesarean) not covored. But as per me, as My Wife have no Labour Pain nor the whole process was done because of or for Delivery. So, kindly guide me for the same. Should I go to Insurance Ombudsman???
