Hello, Good to hear you. If your son had acute necrotizing appendicitis than it is a absolute indication for appendectomy. So there is no question about not covering the mediclaim. As a advising doctor I suggest you to visit nearby surgeon and describe them a complete situation. He will guide you further, because there are many other parameters also which can not be covered into the mediclaim. Thanx
