Iam Vanka Apparao a senior citizen aged 72 years now lured by the
advertisement by Unit Trust of India in 1993,joined the Senior Citizen
Unit Plan. My membership No.is SC9330810000011.It is promised that
health insurance is covered on attaing the age of 58 yers Accordingly
I paid RS35000 on 9-6-1993.The UTI informed about this and alloted
membership No.SC9330810000011.The UTI also paid premiums to NIAC on my
behalf of me as detailed follws 1)From 9-6-1993to 30-6-1993 Rs5625
2)1-7-1993to30-6-1994 Rs5625 3)1-7-1994to 30-6-1995 Rs5625
4)1-7-1995to30-6-1996 Rs5625.Second instalment was paid by UTI is
Rs4477-50 for the period upto 30-6-1998.next an amount of Rs4701-38
was paid for the period upto 30-6-1999.Thus a total amount of
Rs31,678-88 was paid to NIAC on behalf of me(V.APPARAO). Against which
UTI is bound and assured an amount of Rs7,50,000 cashless treatment to
me and to my wife as per the terms of the SCUP Scheme 1993and issued a log book assuring me of cashless treatment upto Rs7.5 Lakhs.
unfortunately the SCUP Scheme was closed saying that the liability
was handed over to NIAC .taking a stand that for members who are more than
58 years and whose insurance premium had been paid there will be no
change and NIAC will still offer the hospitalisation cover duly
including the cashless facility.NOW IN MY CASE ALSO THE ENTIRE PREMIUM
HAD BEEN PAID AS DETAILED ABOVE.There fore eligible for the cashless
facility. But during 6/2009 the listed hospitals disowned saying that
NIAC IS NOT HONOURING THEIR CLAIMS.In this particular helpless
situation Iam driven to untold miserable position and had to absorb
their(UTI&NIAC) failures.though both are Govt. organisations.Is this
not voilation of HUMAN RIGHTS.AND DISRESPECTNG OF SENIOR CITIZENS In this regad I request you to kindly direct NIAC to issue a fresh policy or a letter to the member tothis effect
.Therefore kindly do the needful to restore the gross injustice.Please
direct thNIAC to issue the fresh policies for cashless hospitalisation
and extend all facilities contemplated in the UTI=SCUP Scheme mutatis
mutando and do the denied jusice at least now.without further loss of
time and breaking LAW by the Govt.orgonisations. VANKA.APPARAO,D4 VAMSI APARTMENTS,JAGANNADAPURAM AKKAYYAPALE
