ManipalCigna denies dengue patient's claim, citing '1 lakh' platelet count

A patient has alleged that ManipalCigna Health Insurance turned down his medical claim while he was undergoing treatment for dengue. Chirag Kothari stated that the insurer argued his condition did not warrant hospital admission. Kothari quoted the firm as saying, "Your platelets are still 1 lakh. It’s not a serious condition until it’s less than 70,000." Expressing his frustration, he questioned, "Are we fools that we give you this much money?"
