My Health Adventure: How Starhealth’s Checkup Helped Me Stay Home

I’ve had Star health insurance for nine years, and it turns out they offer a free yearly checkup. Despite having this benefit, I never used it because they always said my lab wasn’t supported. This year, I checked their website and found out that Malabar Hospital near my house is now a place where Starhealth supports checkups.

I got in touch with the hospital’s home care team and asked them to come to my house for a blood test. They arrived on time at 8 am, and a professional guy named Brother Jain took my blood in just one try, finishing everything in under 10 minutes. This was my first time checking my blood without going to a hospital. By 10:30 am, I received the results on WhatsApp. If you want to see them, you can download them here.

Now, I have to send the bill and results to Starhealth, but they only accept printed copies, not digital ones. I need to print them out and send them along with a filled and signed 5-page form. Let’s see if they will give me money back this time. I’ll keep you updated. Bye for now!
