Will my old mediclaim card be valid for more than a year?

Q: My wife and my self are covered under New India Assurance for Mediclaim for Rs 5 lacs with no claim for the last five years. For the last 6 month I have not received the new card from paramount. I logged the problem to NIA site and also to paramount but no response at all. Will my old card be valid for this year?

A:The TPA business is relatively new in India and that is one of the reasons for the problems faced by policyholders. As this model settles down, you should find a marked difference in the quality and service levels. To particularly answer your question, please refer this problem to your BO/DO of New India else call the local office of Paramount Health Services. In any case your new card should be available to you soon.
