Re: insurance and breast cancer

The standard mediclaim policy here excludes pre existing cancer of all types.We had the policy for over 5 years and in 2010 when Hema's treatment started there was no problem.This year after the pokicy wa renewed they say it is a pre existing one and raising objections to reimburse tykerb and xeloda.I wrote to them that it was a continuing one and they have replied they are considering the matter
