Most health insurance policies allow a grace period for the policyholder to submit their claim after getting discharged.
Generally, the time allowed is up to 30 days from the date of discharge.
This period helps the insured gather all required documents like discharge summary, medical bills, prescriptions, and reports.
Submitting claims within this timeframe is mandatory to avoid rejection due to delay.
So, the policyholder must file the claim within 30 days of discharge.
