Star health insurance FAQ's

In a cashless claim/hospitalisation, the insured/hospital intimates us regarding the hospitalization and submits a pre-authorization request. On authorization, the claim is directly settled with the network hospital and the insured is not required to pay any charges except for expenses not covered under the policy. Cashless facility can only be availed at a Star Health Insurance network hospital.

Yes, a request for authorization for cash less access may be rejected by Star Doctors based on various reasons like:
  • The ailment/ disease for which hospitalization is required is not covered at all by insurance policy.
  • The person does not have insured amount left to cover the hospitalization costs. This means that cashless claim access is rejected, AND policy holder cannot come for reimbursement as well.

A health card is a card that comes along with the Health Policy. It is similar to an Identity card. This card would entitle you to avail cashless hospitalization facility at any of our network hospitals. A health card mentions the contact details and the contact numbers of the TPA. In case of a medical emergency, you can call on these numbers for queries, clarifications and for seeking any kind of assistance. Moreover, you need to display your health card at the time of admission into the hospital.
