Medical

Gen provides 100% company-paid medical cover of ₹6,00,000 per family per year.

Eligibility

All permanent team members are eligible for cover under the medical policy. This cover is also extended to up to five dependants: your spouse, two dependent children up to age 25, and up to two dependent parents or parents-in-law.

Gen couples

If both you and your spouse are employed by Gen, you can avail double cover under medical insurance. This means you can cover your spouse as a dependant and vice versa. However, you cannot double cover your other dependants (parents and children).

The double cover benefit is not applicable for maternity benefits under the plan: if one spouse exhausts the maternity benefits, the other spouse cannot avail the benefit to cover any excess of expenses under their policy.

Same-sex partners

You can add your same-sex partner within 30 days from hire date or during the annual open enrolment window.

You can enrol a maximum of two dependent children. Children can be biological or adopted. Relevant documentation (e.g., birth or adoption certificate) must be provided to Marsh before enrolling the child.

For female team members who have a same-sex partner, the insurer provides infertility and maternity benefits only to the team member and not to their partner.

How to enrol

New joiners

You must enrol your eligible family members into the mediclaim policy within 30 days from your start date.

New hires will receive a notification in Workday to access the benefits platform where you can select your benefits and follow the instructions [PDF] to enrol your dependants. Be sure to add your depandants in the Dependents section before selecting your benefits.

Existing team members

You can enrol dependants during the enrolment window in April or October or when you have a life event such as marriage or the birth of a child. You must enrol new dependants within 30 days of a life event.

During an enrolment window, access Workday through MyApps, and follow the instructions [PDF] to enrol or delete dependants.

Outside of the enrolment windows, access Workday through MyApps, and update the Dependents section. Once added, raise a SupportNow ticket to request enrolment of your dependant to medical insurance. The benefits team will manually add this dependant to the plan and report to our insurance partners.

You must provide the birth certificate or adoption documents to Bajaj Allianz at medical.support@bajajallianz.co.in and copy Marsh at nortonlifelock@marsh.com before enrolling your child.

For a same-sex partner, fill the details in the same-sex partner member declaration template [xls] and send it to Marsh at nortonlifelock@marsh.com before enrolling your partner.

For expenses incurred up to 30 days prior to hospitalisation and up to 60 days after hospitalisation relating to the illness for which you are hospitalised, you must pay the expenses and then put forward a claim for reimbursement.

How to make a claim

Benefits are available on a cashless basis with preauthorisation, or you can be reimbursed for expenses you’ve paid.

Reimbursement claims are subject to extensive review and validation, which can take several weeks. We encourage you to follow the preauthorisation process ahead of treatment, whenever possible, to receive cashless coverage.

Preauthorisation for cashless benefit

The Bajaj Allianz hospital helpdesk will provide you a preauthorisation form, which must be filled by your treating doctor and completed with the doctor’s signature and hospital seal. Along with the preauthorisation form, send the first consultation paper from your doctor, including:

  • Duration of your present illness
  • Previous history of similar illness
  • Any treatment taken in the past for this or a related illness

Send the form and consultation paper to Bajaj Allianz by email or through the Bajaj Allianz portal. Your network hospital will have access to the Bajaj Allianz portal; please contact the hospital insurance desk for instructions.

Bajaj Allianz will extend credit for your hospitalisation only after the preauthorisation is complete and your admissibility and eligibility are determined. You will then be issued a letter of credit that should be carried along with your ID card to receive credit for your treatment. If the admission is for your parent, they will be covered for 80% of the eligible hospitalisation cost. The remaining 20% must be paid to the hospital by cash or credit card at the time of discharge.

In case of an emergency, go directly to the hospital for treatment. After admission, you must complete the preauthorisation procedure.

In case of a medical emergency, you can contact the Bajaj Allianz team: Rasika Mohol at 7767009620 or email, or Sunil Hoval at 7767009619 or email.

For any escalation regarding your insurance claim, reach out to the Marsh team: Nehal Gujar at 9823068400 or Hemant Arivale at 9881092603, or send an email to nortonlifelock@marsh.com.

Reimbursement

If you visit a nonnetwork hospital, you will have to bear the expenses at the time of hospitalisation and then put forward a claim for reimbursement. Claims for expenses before and after hospitalisation also must follow this process.

Claim procedure

  • Fill the advance claim intimation form [doc] as soon as possible, and email it to the Marsh team.
  • Submit these claim forms within 30 days after discharge:
  • Refer to the claim form instructions [PDF] for help in filling the Bajaj Allianz claim form.

Additional notes

  • The insurer may ask you to submit original documents in physical form.
  • Additional documents may be required, based on specific treatments.
  • If there is a deficiency in submitted documents, it can be addressed within 15 days of the date you are notified.
  • If there is a delay in claim submission, you must attach a letter citing the reason for the delay along with the claim documents. The admissibility of the delayed claim is entirely dependent on Bajaj Allianz’s decision.
  • After submitting a claim through the Bajaj Allianz portal or app, email the reference number or claim number to Bajaj Allianz and Marsh.

In case of a medical emergency, you can contact the Bajaj Allianz team: Rasika Mohol at 7767009620 or email, or Sunil Hoval at 7767009619 or email.

For any escalation regarding your insurance claim, reach out to the Marsh team: Nehal Gujar at 9823068400 or Hemant Arivale at 9881092603, or send an email to nortonlifelock@marsh.com.

Corporate buffer

If your expenses exceed the base medical policy insured cover of ₹6,00,000 (or ₹5,00,000 for parents), you may avail funds from the corporate buffer, which is an additional ₹6,00,000 (or ₹5,00,000 for parents).

Request approval for the corporate buffer by sending an email to the Marsh team at nortonlifelock@marsh.com.

  • Marsh will authenticate the corporate buffer request and notify the Gen People & Culture team in India.
  • The People & Culture team will inform Marsh whether the request is approved or denied.

A request will be denied if the total claim is higher than the base policy sum insured plus the corporate buffer limit. A request also will be denied if the hospitalisation expenses are above the cover amount because luxury facilities, such as suites, were used.

Medical benefits FAQs

When does the policy start?

Cover begins on the day you start at Gen.

When does the policy end?

The policy ends when you leave Gen or on the policy annual renewal date—whichever is earlier. In case of your demise, your dependants’ cover will continue until the expiry of the current policy.

Can I be admitted into the hospital and get treatment with only the E-card?

No. The E-card is only for identification—it is not a credit card. To get admission to the hospital on a credit basis, follow the preauthorisation procedures.

Do I need to pay any money at the time of discharge?

Bajaj Allianz will extend credit for all medical expenses billed by a network hospital for the treatment of your illness, subject to preauthorisation. You must pay for nonmedical expenses at the time of discharge.

For a parental hospitalisation, you also must pay for 20% of the medical expenses at the time of discharge.

Can I claim for reimbursement if I go to a nonnetwork hospital?

Yes. You must bear the expenses at the time of hospitalisation and then put forward a claim for reimbursement.

What if I have two hospitalisations for enrolled family members (e.g., spouse and parent) at the same time?

If expenses for both hospitalisations are within the insured limit, both will be covered.

If expenses are above the limit, you can decide which hospitalisation expenses to claim. Else, Bajaj Allianz will settle the claims on a “first claimed, first settled” basis.
