Hello,
Thanks for your query. Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been investigated for pain in abdomen and on the basis of investigations you were admitted in hospital for surgery to remove some suspected mass in Left Iliac fossa.
However, further clinical examination and investigation revealed the mass to be benign in nature and could be treated with medicines.and hence surgery was cancelled. Your insurance company can not deny your claim, as the investigations carried out were necessary to confirm the diagnosis which can be negative. If Insurance company do not agree with your claim, you have option open to go to consumer forum or legal ways. Better to have a legal consultation regarding this.
I would be happy to help you if you have any health related queries.
Thanks with Regards.
