Insurance companies have tie-up arrangements with several hospitals which are called network hospitals. Under a health insurance policy, a policyholder can take treatment in any of the network hospitals without having to pay the hospital bills as the payment is made to the hospital directly by the insurance company. TPA helps in organizing cashless treatment to the member. However, expenses beyond the limits or sub-limits as per terms and conditions of the insurance policy or expenses not covered under the policy have to be paid by customer directly to the hospital. Preauthorization, however, is not available if treatment is taken in a nonnetwork hospital.
Preauthorization is facilitated by TPA at network Hospitals.
Cashless facility can be availed at any of the network hospitals listed with the servicing TPA (List available on website) or insurance company website. The insured has a choice to go to any of the hospitals/nursing homes which are part of the Insurer/TPA network; it can also be confirmed through call center toll free numbers. It is useful and requested to confirm before seeking admission because network of hospitals is continuously updated with new additions and deletions. In the absence of network hospital of choice or due to any other reason, insured can get treated at the hospital of choice which means the entire bill is paid by the policy holder and claim for reimbursement of expenses. The claim shall then be processed as per policy terms and conditions.
