Cashless Health Insurance Plans in India

Health insurance is a service that can take care of your medical bills when you or your loved one face an unfortunate incident such as a severe accident or suffer from a critical illness. Health insurance policies have two types of claim settlement processes - cashless claim settlement and reimbursement claim settlement. While both the processes take away the burden of bearing the expenses related to health care services, opting for cashless health insurance gives you the benefit of saving your out of pocket expenses right from the beginning of the treatment.

What is cashless health insurance?

Cashless health insurance is a benefit given by an insurance company to its health insurance policyholders, i.e. you. This facility enables you to get hospitalized at any network hospital, without having to pay the hospitalization charges. This relieves you of major financial burden during the critical times of a medical emergency. Cashless health insurance covers you for hospital room rent, doctor's charges, cost of medicines, treatment cost and other admissible expenses.

We at Bajaj Allianz General Insurance, have our own in-house health administration team to handle all the health insurance cashless claim procedures, thus making us one of the best cashless health insurance providers in India.

How to avail the cashless health insurance facility?

The cashless facility is one of the prime health insurance benefits that is useful during planned as well as emergency hospitalization. In case of a planned hospitalization, you must inform your insurer, i.e. us at least 3 days prior to hospitalization. In case of an emergency; the same must be done within 24 hours of hospitalization. This step is important so that the pre-authorization approval can be done well in time so that you can avail the benefit of the cashless procedure.

All you need to do from your end is provide the hospital with all the relevant details about the patient and the policy details, which the hospital would be sharing with us, along with the treatment details, to initiate the cashless claim process. We will then verify all the details provided by the hospital and send a pre-authorization approval to the hospital if the claim is admissible.
