Over the last few years, the cost of medical and healthcare facilities in the country has risen manifold. Particularly, hospitalisation expenses have sharply increased, creating huge financial stress for the family of the patient, especially during emotionally stressful times. Now, given such a situation, have you ever wondered if you have instant money to pay for a health emergency? Would your family be able to pay the bills if you were hospitalised?
Well, with a health insurance policy that offers cashless hospitalisation cover, you do not have to worry about any of the above circumstances. Cashless hospitalisation means you and your family do not have to pay any money to the hospital. Your insurance company or the TPA (third-party administrator) will directly settle your bill with the hospital upon fulfilment of specific conditions.
Tata AIG offers cashless hospitalisation across 11,000+ large network of hospitals across India, which guarantees easy hospitalisation, seamless claim settlement and quality treatment.
How does the cashless system work in hospitals?
When you buy a Tata AIG health insurance policy, you will get a list of our network hospitals and medical facilities. These facilities have tie-ups with us and are authorised to provide you with cashless treatment. This means that you or your family do not have to be burdened with paying any of the treatment bills at the hospital. However, the cashless hospitalisation amount is subject to your policy coverage and fulfilment of other terms.

Claim Process
The cashless claim process during hospitalisation differs as per the type of hospitalisation.
- Before taking admission into the network hospital for the treatment, inform the TPA or Tata AIG, at least 48 hours prior, about the intended procedure/treatment and request for a pre-authorisation.
- In case of emergency treatment, Tata AIG or the TPA should be informed at least 24 hours after the procedure is done.
- You need to submit your authorised policy-issued ID card and other relevant documents to the network hospital.
- The designated TPA will check the policy details, nature and extent of coverage, and based on the policy, send the authorisation to the network hospital.
- If proper documents are not submitted, the application will be rejected by the TPA. This does not equal claim rejection. You simply have to re-submit the forms with the correct documents.
- The application can also be rejected if the intended treatment/procedure is not covered under your policy. This equals claim rejection.
- If the cashless claim is approved, the original bills and claim documents will be retained by the network hospital. You can take a copy of the documents for your record.
- Just because a claim is pre-authorised does not mean the entire claim is sanctioned. Tata AIG reserves the right to analyse every claim and entry, and final reimbursement will be paid based on the policy coverage.
- In the case of co-payment, the relevant proportion of the final bill as per your co-payment terms will have to be borne by you.
