The Company pays only Mediclaim premium of employee, spouse and their children not their medical bill when they hospitalised. The hospital expenses will be borne by the employee himself and when the employee receive the amount from mediclaim COmpany. The account will square up. There is no question of receiving amount from Insurance Company higher than actual expenses incurred
