What the numbers say about Bajaj General
The settlement ratio is the weaker of the two figures: across health insurers it sits inside a narrow band, so it rarely separates a good insurer from a poor one. The complaint rate does the work. It runs from 4.2 at Bajaj General to 173.6 at Navi General, roughly 41 times. Bajaj General sits at 4.2, at the better end of that range.
Neither figure describes a policy. What decides your claim is the wording you bought: the waiting periods, the room-rent rule, the sub-limits and what you disclosed when you applied.

Making a Bajaj General claim
IRDAI requires a cashless decision within 1 hour for a planned procedure and 3 hours in an emergency, with final authorisation at discharge within 3 hours (Master Circular on Health Insurance Business, 29 May 2024). If a planned authorisation passes the hour with no query raised, that is a breach you can escalate.
