How to file a health claim

A claim is stressful enough without confusion. Here's the process, simply.

Cashless claims

At a network hospital, show your health card, and the hospital coordinates with the insurer's TPA to settle bills directly. Pre-authorisation is needed for planned treatment; inform the insurer within the required window for emergencies.

Reimbursement claims

At a non-network hospital, you pay first and claim later. Keep every bill, discharge summary and report, and submit the claim form within the deadline.
