Who are Third Party Administrators (TPAs)?
Third Party Administrators are licensed service providers appointed
by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) to
facilitate medical insurance claims on behalf of patients.
What is a cashless facility?
In cases of planned hospitalisations, the medical policyholder
provides the Third Party Administrator (TPA) with the necessary
medical details in advance. Once the pre-authorisation is issued,
the TPA guarantees payment on the patients' behalf. The
patient then need not pay for the medical service. In emergency
cases, the pre-authorisation can be provided within 24 hours of
hospitalisation.
How does a patient know if they qualify for the cashless facility?
Patients must confirm their TPA is affiliated to the Hospital.
If so, all medical details (admission request note) must be provided
to the TPA. Upon receipt of the request, the TPA provides pre-admission
authorisation on a case-to-case basis.
When do patients have to file a claim?
The patient only needs to file a claim if the cashless facility
is not available at the Hospital. Original copies of all relevant
medical documents must be submitted with the claim form.
