Health Insurance Portability Faces Barriers for Older Indians

The article describes an older woman who is unhappy with her health insurer.

Her claim was delayed, and her premium increased again.

A friend tells her that porting means moving her policy to another insurer.

Porting may allow her to keep the waiting periods she has already completed.

She gathers documents and takes a medical test.

After six weeks, the new insurer rejects her application.

She goes back to her old insurer for renewal.

The story questions whether health insurance porting is genuinely available to older customers.
