Cashless claim process is used to make a claim when the treatment is done at a network hospital via cashless mode. Insurance companies provide cashless treatment facilities in their network hospitals. The insurers tie up with different hospitals to provide this facility to the insurance policy holder. An insured person can avail this facility by getting admitted in a network hospital and by showing the ID proof of the policyholder. This ID proof is provided by the insurer and the insured should show it at the insurance helpdesk of the hospital to initiate the cashless treatment claim.
Under the reimbursement claim settlement policy, the insured can receive treatment at any hospital of their choice. Here, once the treatment is done and the policyholder is discharged from the hospital, he/she is required to pay all the hospital bills for the treatment. Later, the insured can file for the reimbursement claim by submitting the discharge papers to the insurer. The insurer compensates the amount as per the policy terms and conditions and it reaches the bank account of the insured.
