Sanjeevji you are right in mentioning that one has to manage the renewal of the policy himself. It is not obligatory on the insurance co. to send renewal notices but as a matter of courtesy/practice it was used to be sent by ordinary post. But as everyone of is aware that the ordinary post is obsolete, therefore, it is advisable to give your email ID while taking th insurance, the insurance cos system capture it and a reminder mail is generated by the system much in advance. more

Now since, every bank is giving Insurance policy, I would like to share my experience, so that public as well as bank authorities could take a note for the same. I have one policy running since 1985, my agent would come every Jan, and take the cheque and give the receipt personally. In case of claim - he helped me a lot. I have taken another policy from a Bank (name with held) - as there was a difference of 2500.00. For two years, I did receive reminder by ORDINARY POST, luckily I could get and deposit the same. Third reminder, after the due date and forth no reminder at all. SO IF YOU OPT FOR BANK - MAKE SURE YOU TAKE CARE OF ALL THE ISSUES. The main point - most of Mediclaim policy (as against - Life Insurance 30 days) - there is no grace period. more  
Dev dattji Mediclaim Insurance Policy is not an indemnity policy. It is benefit policy like Personal Accident Insurance. more  
The mediclaim covers on the principles of indemnity. So 5+5 Lac won't cover for 10Lac. To get over and abive civer you should take top up plan or full 10 lac cover. For more clarification contact#9868715182 more
