The Instability of the Criterion Settlement of Pandemic Insurance Claim
甲於2022年2月1日以自身為要保人暨被保險人,向A產物保險公司(下稱A)投保防疫保險,系爭條款約定:「住院:係指被保險人經醫師診斷罹患法定傳染病必須入住醫院,且正式辦理住院手續並確實在醫院接受診療者,但不包含全民健康保險法第五十一條所稱之日間住院及精神衛生法第三十五條所稱之日間留院。」隨後COVID-19疫情爆發,因醫院之醫療量能有限,防疫指揮中心宣布確診者改入住防疫旅館或檢疫所,並提供醫護人員進行照護。嗣後,甲確診並安排入住防疫旅館,經醫護人員照護10日後康復,甲隨後向A請求住院醫療保險金。A則以甲僅入住防疫旅館而非正式辦理住院手續,故主張不符合理賠條件,拒絕給付。試問,A之主張有無理由?
