@richapintoi We have been keeping these type of bottles but Corporates still prefer Bisleri because they are afraid whether bottle has been washed well after use by the earlier person.
@mulund_info The increase in bills after smart meter have gone up by 3000.00 per bill. That's why the hue and cry. But I don't understand how can it go up so much.
Ramesh Gupta's father had a cataract surgery in Pune last year.
Procedure done in 3 hours. Discharged same day.
Claim rejected. Reason: "Minimum 24-hour hospitalisation not met."
��1.8 lakh. Gone.
Ramesh wasn't alone.
Thousands of Indians were losing valid claims every year — not because the treatment was wrong, but because the clock said so.
Insurers had one rule: stay 24 hours or we don't pay.
So hospitals started admitting patients overnight — not because they needed it. Because insurance demanded it.
IRDAI finally saw through it.
From 2025, the 24-hour rule is dead.
Here's what changed 🧵
---
Old rule: Minimum 24-hour stay required
New rule: 2 hours is enough — if medically justified
Your father's cataract surgery. Your mother's knee procedure. Your child's minor operation.
All coverable now. Same day.
---
Old: Claim eligibility = how long you stayed in bed
New: Claim eligibility = medical necessity + observation time
The insurer can no longer hide behind a clock.
They now have to prove the treatment wasn't needed. Much harder.
---
Old: Pre-authorisation varied by insurer — some asked, some didn't
New: Pre-auth is MANDATORY before every procedure
This is the part nobody is telling you.
Get pre-auth BEFORE you enter the OT.
Miss this step and the claim is dead. Even under the new rule.
---
Old: Any empanelled hospital qualified
New: Network hospitals only
Before your next procedure — call your insurer.
Ask one question: "Is this hospital in your network?"
Do it today. Not from the hospital bed.
---
What IRDAI essentially said:
We won't let insurers use time as a weapon anymore.
But we also won't let claims go unchecked.
So — pre-auth is now mandatory, network hospitals only, and doctors decide discharge. Not administrators.

Save this thread.
Forward it to anyone with a health insurance policy.
Because the rule changed. But most people filing claims in 2025 still don't know it.
@Aunindyo2023 My plumber makes around 45 to 50k per month He said his son is also learning the same job & also àlearning Electrician. His son is in FYBCom. I told him educate him so he can work in an office, he replied this job is the only one that will remain life long. No AI for this.
