[ [1] For E.g If one person has under gone medical treatment in a hospital has been enlisted by the medi claim service provider and the total expense was Rs.1 lac [2] The total contribution by that person was Rs.3300/anum and employer?s contribution was Rs.4800/anum which comes to Rs.8100 but he can claim upto Rs.1 Lac / anum for his medical expenses. This amount includes other contributors who pay equal amount as their contribution. The question is whether we can enroll in this medi claim policy, kindly highlight us with detail.
