Payal Rohatgi revealed that her family has not been reimbursed for the medical expenses despite the large insurance payments they have made over the years. She added that this delay from the insurance has made it extremely difficult for her family to continue her father's treatment. She further shared that her father had asked her to share about their situation, and she is doing so to address the gaps in the medical insurance industry in the country. She shared:
"My father, who is a senior citizen, thought he would get reimbursement from the medical insurance company whose premium he had paid, but he hasn’t due to their internal rules. The medical insurance PREMIUM every year is so much for senior citizens, but when genuine medical expenses don’t get reimbursed, it’s sad. He requested that I put it on my social media, and I am doing it as I want to address the criteria on the basis of which medical insurance as an industry works in our country."
Payal Rohatgi further explained crowdfunding in her post. She shared that although the donation concept needed more clarity at present, everyone still used it. She added that her father has a right to get his reimbursement. She shared the details of her father's condition and requested her fans to fund her father's treatment. Payal penned:
"He has a right to get his reimbursement from medical insurance companies. But as the rules are not clear so, here we talk. He is a senior citizen and is suffering from Prostate Cancer (since 2018), COPD, i.e., shrinking lungs (since 2006) and Very Severe Osteoporosis (since 2008). I request that my fans and followers donate generously and deposit money in the following account: The entire Medical file can be sent by email."
We wish Payal Rohatgi's father a speedy recovery.
