Claim Settlement Process

Step-by-step for both cashless and reimbursement claims.

Why claims for children are different

A child's admission is rarely planned. It is a playground fracture at 4 p.m., a fever that turns serious at midnight — moments when nobody has the patience for paperwork. The cashless process below exists for exactly those moments: the only thing a parent needs at the hospital is the child's e-card (saved on a phone is fine), and the only decision is choosing a network hospital — which is worth making before the emergency, from the network list in the app. Everything else, including the pre-authorisation, is between the hospital and us.

Cashless claims (recommended)

  1. 1

    Show your Digital Welfare Card (or physical card) at any network hospital's insurance desk on admission.

  2. 2

    The hospital sends a pre-authorisation request directly to us — you do not fill any paperwork at this stage.

  3. 3

    We approve or query within 1-4 hours for planned admissions, and within 30-60 minutes for emergencies.

  4. 4

    On discharge, the hospital settles the bill directly with us. You pay only for anything outside the policy (if applicable).

Reimbursement claims

  1. 1

    Pay the hospital bill yourself if you used a non-network hospital, or chose reimbursement.

  2. 2

    Submit the claim in the app: original bills, discharge summary, and prescription records.

  3. 3

    Our claims team reviews the submission — typically within 7-10 working days.

  4. 4

    Approved amount is credited directly to the registered bank account.
