Health insurance is truly a saving grace during a medical emergency. When you or your loved ones are in the hospital, the last thing you need is a tedious process to avail of the cashless facility. In such situations, it is best to be prepared to have a smooth insurance claims experience.
Let’s quickly walk through how to have a trouble-free cashless claim process.
Step - 1: Pick a network hospital
Depending on your health insurance cover and provider, you can access different network hospitals from the list of tie-ups your insurer has.
Step - 2: Inform the insurer or TPA
Informing the TPA (third-party administrator) or your insurer helps them process your request and approve it quickly. In case of planned hospitalisation, inform them at least a week prior to admission. Keep all your doctor recommendations and medical documents handy and send them a copy. You will then get approval for the cashless settlement, which you can use upon admission. If it is an emergency, inform them within 24 hours.

Step - 3: Know the inclusions and exclusions
All that is covered in your health insurance claims are listed in the health insurance product Boucher/policy wording document. You must read it before sign up for health cover to be aware of the inclusions and exclusions. For instance, some policies don’t cover ambulance charges or medical consumables, while others have a cap on room rent. Thus it is best to know the nitty-gritty of your health insurance, so your claim doesn’t get rejected.
Step - 4: Carry all the relevant identity and policy proofs
When filing a cashless claim, you must keep a few essential documents with you for faster processing. At the time of hospitalisation, you need your insurance health card and policy document. Before checking out, the TPA’s desk would have handled everything. You just need to ensure all documentation is in order to get discharged on time.
Step - 5: Keep copies of the documents you submit
Even though you’ve chosen the cashless claim facility, keeping copies of the documents you submit for good record-keeping and future purposes is ideal. So in a time of need, you have them in your possession and don’t have to run around to secure them.
In Conclusion
Health insurance is a must, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. And as compared to reimbursement claims, cashless claims have you spend less and are also hassle-free.
