Health Insurance
Ready Reckoner
Insurance, claims, reimbursements and hospitalization - none of us really look forward to these. And usually, you’d prefer to not have the need
to know anything about them. As much as we would love you to never need this information, we’ve seen from our experience that just
spending a few minutes to go through some important terminologies, and keeping some important forms handy, helps reduce the stress
related to hospitalization when the need arises.
This ready reckoner is our attempt to give you all the basic information that you must know and understand about hospitalization, health
insurance and claims management. Please save this ready reckoner for future use. And hopefully, you will not really need any of these much,
except for staying healthy.
INTRODUCTION
MEDI ASSIST AND YOU
TPA? Who?
Oh, that was in the past.
Hasn’t Medi Assist been
appointed as the TPA by
your organization?
Rest assured. You’re in good
hands. All you need to worry
about is your recovery. Medi Assist
will handle everything else for you.
Medi Assist has been appointed as
the Third Party Administrator (TPA)
for health insurance benefits
management by your organization.
As a privileged member of the Medi
Assist family, you are now eligible for
hassle-free health insurance claims
administration.
What this really means for you is that
should you or any of your family
members covered under your policy
undergo hospitalization, we handle
all the paperwork related to your
claim; wherever possible, we give
you the benefit of cashless hospital-
ization; and we ensure that your
claim is settled at the earliest.
Remember that TPAs are not the
same as insurers. Medi Assist
administers your claims as per the
terms and conditions laid down by
our insurance policy.
TPAs DO NOT:
Decide who is covered and
what ailments / procedures are
covered under your policy. Your
insurance plan dictates these.
Control your policy terms
and conditions. Your insurance
policy is developed by your
insurer.
Decide admissible /
non-admissible expenses.
Your insurance policy dictates
that.
Approve / disapprove claim
without reason. TPAs process
claims strictly based on your
policy terms and conditions.
Hospitalization is like a double
whammy. First, it’s the suffering caused
by the illness,and then there is the pain
caused by my insurance company.
HOSPITALIZATION,
EXPENSES AND CLAIMS
Hospitalization
Things you MUST know Did you know that you can completely
eliminate out of pocket expenses by
getting pre-authorization for cashless
hospitalization?
And did you know that
while some expenses may be
covered under your policy,
some others may not?
It never hurts to know the
basics of hospitalization,
expenses and claims.
It just takes a few minutes.
Hospitalization can be of two types:
Planned Hospitalization: This happens when you
have ample time to plan your admission to the hospital.
For example, if your doctor advises a surgery for hernia
anytime in the next few weeks, you have time to plan
your hospitalization.
Emergency Hospitalization: This happens typically in
case of emergencies, such as a road traffic accident.
One cannot plan for such hospitalization.
Hospitalization Expenses
Expenses associated with hospitalization can be classified as follows:
Apart from hospitalization expenses, your health insurance policy may also cover pre- and post-hospitalization expenses, and offer a cap for domiciliary expenses.
Pre-hospitalization expenses: When you’re unwell, you will most likely consult a physician first, who gets relevant investigations done before advising
hospitalization. Such medical expenses incurred before hospitalization are called pre-hospitalization expenses.
Hospitalization expenses: All expenses incurred as part of your hospital stay as an in-patient can be termed as hospitalization expenses.
Post-hospitalization expenses: Some part of your treatment may extend beyond your hospitalization. It may involve follow-up visits to the doctor, prescription
medication, further investigations, etc. Such medical expenses are called post-hospitalization expenses.
Domiciliary hospitalization expenses: This typically includes expenses related to domiciliary hospitalization - at-home medical treatment for more than three
days for cases which in the normal course would require hospitalization. The exact circumstances / terms / exclusions related to domiciliary hospitalization
would be spelt out in your policy document.
Claims
Planned Hospitalization
Depending on the situation and your policy coverage, you can make two types of health insurance claims:
Please visit our website, www.mediassistindia.com, for the updated list of network hospitals.
Cashless: The essence of cashless hospitalization is that the insured need not make an upfront payment to the hospital at the time of admission. You may not
have any out-of-pocket expenses towards hospitalization, in this scenario. Cashless hospitalization can be availed only at a Medi Assist network hospital and
upon approval of your pre-authorization application.
If you or any of your family members are undergoing an elective procedure in the near future, you can plan your hospitalization with Medi Assist. Planned
hospitalization gives you the following advantages:
Reimbursement: A reimbursement claim is one where you pay all the expenses related to the hospitalization of the insured and claim a reimbursement of your
expenses after discharge. Reimbursement claims may be filed in the following circumstances:
Hospitalization at a non-network hospital
Post-hospitalization and pre-hospitalization expenses
Denial of pre-authorization for cashless facility at a network hospital.
Informed choice of network
hospital where you can avail
cashless hospitalization.
Lower cost of care by opting
for preferred tariffs contracted
by Medi Assist for our
members.
Reduced out-of-pocket
expenses due to discounted
pricing even if your policy
places a cap on the
allowable expenses.
eCashless for Planned Hospitalization
Medi Assist gives you the power to plan your hospitalization with eCashless. For the first time in the health benefits industry, you can now request for a provisional

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any time limit to submit the pre-authorization request?
In case of an emergency or unplanned admission, the hospital must send the pre-authorization request to Medi Assist within 24 hours from the time of admission.
In case of a planned hospitalization, it is prudent to send the pre-authorization request to Medi Assist at least 72 hours prior to the admission date. This will ensure
a hassle-free admission procedure for you at the hospital.
Are my medical expenses incurred before and after hospitalization covered?
Your policy may allow reimbursement of relevant medical expenses incurred during, pre- & post-hospitalization for the particular condition for which hospitalisation
was necessary. This is subject to the terms and limits prescribed in the policy. Please read your policy document in detail.
What is the maximum number of claims allowed during the policy period?
There is no upper limit on the number of claims that can be raised during the policy period. However, the total cumulative claim amount cannot exceed the sum
insured in the policy.
What is the deadline to submit a reimbursement claim?
Claim intimation (with particulars relating to policy number, name of the insured person for whom the claim is made, nature of illness/injury and name and address
of the attending medical practitioner/hospital/nursing home) should be submitted within 7 (seven) days from the date of hospitalization/injury.
The final claim form along with the hospital receipt, bills, cash memos and the list of documents as listed in the claim form should be submitted to
Medi Assist within 30 (thirty) days from the date of discharge from the hospital.
How long does it take to process the reimbursement claim and when will I receive the payment after approval of the claim?
After receiving all the required documents, it takes 15 working days to process the claim and 7 working days after that for payment.
What is co-pay?
Co-pay is a percentage applied on payable amount which the policy holder has to pay at the time of discharge. The rest of the amount is paid by the insurance
company.
What happens to my sum insured after a claim is filed? And what happens if the cost exceeds my hospital insurance cover?
The sum insured is reduced by the amount of the claim paid for the rest of the policy year. You have to pay the balance amount if your claim exceeds the sum insured.
What are shortfall documents or information required (IR), and when and where do I send them?
Shortfall documents are raised if the documents already sent are insufficient for further validation of the existing claim. They have to be sent within 10 working days
of the receipt of the e-mail notifying you of insufficient documentation.
If you are an individual policy holder, you can submit the shortfall documents to the nearest Medi Assist branch. If you are a corporate employee, just hand them
over to the respective helpdesk person.
Where can I get more help?
Should you have any questions, clarifications or concerns regarding your health insurance, you can get in touch with your corporate single point of contact
mentioned in your welcome email from Medi Assist.

  • 2. Insurance, claims, reimbursements and hospitalization - none of us really look forward to these. And usually, you’d prefer to not have the need to know anything about them. As much as we would love you to never need this information, we’ve seen from our experience that just spending a few minutes to go through some important terminologies, and keeping some important forms handy, helps reduce the stress related to hospitalization when the need arises. This ready reckoner is our attempt to give you all the basic information that you must know and understand about hospitalization, health insurance and claims management. Please save this ready reckoner for future use. And hopefully, you will not really need any of these much, except for staying healthy. INTRODUCTION
  • 3. MEDI ASSIST AND YOU TPA? Who? Oh, that was in the past. Hasn’t Medi Assist been appointed as the TPA by your organization? Rest assured. You’re in good hands. All you need to worry about is your recovery. Medi Assist will handle everything else for you. Medi Assist has been appointed as the Third Party Administrator (TPA) for health insurance benefits management by your organization. As a privileged member of the Medi Assist family, you are now eligible for hassle-free health insurance claims administration. What this really means for you is that should you or any of your family members covered under your policy undergo hospitalization, we handle all the paperwork related to your claim; wherever possible, we give you the benefit of cashless hospital- ization; and we ensure that your claim is settled at the earliest. Remember that TPAs are not the same as insurers. Medi Assist administers your claims as per the terms and conditions laid down by our insurance policy. TPAs DO NOT: Decide who is covered and what ailments / procedures are covered under your policy. Your insurance plan dictates these. Control your policy terms and conditions. Your insurance policy is developed by your insurer. Decide admissible / non-admissible expenses. Your insurance policy dictates that. Approve / disapprove claim without reason. TPAs process claims strictly based on your policy terms and conditions. Hospitalization is like a double whammy. First, it’s the suffering caused by the illness,and then there is the pain caused by my insurance company.
  • 4. HOSPITALIZATION, EXPENSES AND CLAIMS Hospitalization Things you MUST know Did you know that you can completely eliminate out of pocket expenses by getting pre-authorization for cashless hospitalization? And did you know that while some expenses may be covered under your policy, some others may not? It never hurts to know the basics of hospitalization, expenses and claims. It just takes a few minutes. Hospitalization can be of two types: Planned Hospitalization: This happens when you have ample time to plan your admission to the hospital. For example, if your doctor advises a surgery for hernia anytime in the next few weeks, you have time to plan your hospitalization. Emergency Hospitalization: This happens typically in case of emergencies, such as a road traffic accident. One cannot plan for such hospitalization.
  • 5. Hospitalization Expenses Expenses associated with hospitalization can be classified as follows: Apart from hospitalization expenses, your health insurance policy may also cover pre- and post-hospitalization expenses, and offer a cap for domiciliary expenses. Pre-hospitalization expenses: When you’re unwell, you will most likely consult a physician first, who gets relevant investigations done before advising hospitalization. Such medical expenses incurred before hospitalization are called pre-hospitalization expenses. Hospitalization expenses: All expenses incurred as part of your hospital stay as an in-patient can be termed as hospitalization expenses. Post-hospitalization expenses: Some part of your treatment may extend beyond your hospitalization. It may involve follow-up visits to the doctor, prescription medication, further investigations, etc. Such medical expenses are called post-hospitalization expenses. Domiciliary hospitalization expenses: This typically includes expenses related to domiciliary hospitalization - at-home medical treatment for more than three days for cases which in the normal course would require hospitalization. The exact circumstances / terms / exclusions related to domiciliary hospitalization would be spelt out in your policy document.
  • 6. Claims Planned Hospitalization Depending on the situation and your policy coverage, you can make two types of health insurance claims: Please visit our website, www.mediassistindia.com, for the updated list of network hospitals. Cashless: The essence of cashless hospitalization is that the insured need not make an upfront payment to the hospital at the time of admission. You may not have any out-of-pocket expenses towards hospitalization, in this scenario. Cashless hospitalization can be availed only at a Medi Assist network hospital and upon approval of your pre-authorization application. If you or any of your family members are undergoing an elective procedure in the near future, you can plan your hospitalization with Medi Assist. Planned hospitalization gives you the following advantages: Reimbursement: A reimbursement claim is one where you pay all the expenses related to the hospitalization of the insured and claim a reimbursement of your expenses after discharge. Reimbursement claims may be filed in the following circumstances: Hospitalization at a non-network hospital Post-hospitalization and pre-hospitalization expenses Denial of pre-authorization for cashless facility at a network hospital. Informed choice of network hospital where you can avail cashless hospitalization. Lower cost of care by opting for preferred tariffs contracted by Medi Assist for our members. Reduced out-of-pocket expenses due to discounted pricing even if your policy places a cap on the allowable expenses.

What more? We leverage technology at every step to help you raise requests easily, track claims in real-time, obtain approvals faster and receive reimbursements quicker: Have a planned surgery?

MediBuddy Online Portal: The MediBuddy online portal allows you to add / modify beneficiaries to your policy, generate your e-card, raise reimburse- ment requests online, and also scan and upload your medical records to maintain your electronic health repository. MediBuddy Mobile App: The MediBuddy mobile app allows you to send claims intimation, view policy details, browse network hospitals in the vicinity and importantly, track the status of your claims in real-time using your smartphone.

  • 11. Note: In case of suppression of material facts or misrepresentation of facts by the hospital or the insured, the pre authorization issued for the cashless facility will stand cancelled. The insured will be liable to settle the hospital bill in full. The hospital will ask you to pay for all the non-medical expenses in your bill. You will have to pay for all pre- and post-hospitalization expenses. These can be claimed only after the settlement of the main hospitalization claim.

  • 15. Frequently Asked Questions Is there any time limit to submit the pre-authorization request? In case of an emergency or unplanned admission, the hospital must send the pre-authorization request to Medi Assist within 24 hours from the time of admission. In case of a planned hospitalization, it is prudent to send the pre-authorization request to Medi Assist at least 72 hours prior to the admission date. This will ensure a hassle-free admission procedure for you at the hospital. Are my medical expenses incurred before and after hospitalization covered? Your policy may allow reimbursement of relevant medical expenses incurred during, pre- & post-hospitalization for the particular condition for which hospitalisation was necessary. This is subject to the terms and limits prescribed in the policy. Please read your policy document in detail. What is the maximum number of claims allowed during the policy period? There is no upper limit on the number of claims that can be raised during the policy period. However, the total cumulative claim amount cannot exceed the sum insured in the policy. What is the deadline to submit a reimbursement claim? Claim intimation (with particulars relating to policy number, name of the insured person for whom the claim is made, nature of illness/injury and name and address of the attending medical practitioner/hospital/nursing home) should be submitted within 7 (seven) days from the date of hospitalization/injury. The final claim form along with the hospital receipt, bills, cash memos and the list of documents as listed in the claim form should be submitted to Medi Assist within 30 (thirty) days from the date of discharge from the hospital. How long does it take to process the reimbursement claim and when will I receive the payment after approval of the claim? After receiving all the required documents, it takes 15 working days to process the claim and 7 working days after that for payment.
  • 16. What is co-pay? Co-pay is a percentage applied on payable amount which the policy holder has to pay at the time of discharge. The rest of the amount is paid by the insurance company. What happens to my sum insured after a claim is filed? And what happens if the cost exceeds my hospital insurance cover? The sum insured is reduced by the amount of the claim paid for the rest of the policy year. You have to pay the balance amount if your claim exceeds the sum insured. What are shortfall documents or information required (IR), and when and where do I send them? Shortfall documents are raised if the documents already sent are insufficient for further validation of the existing claim. They have to be sent within 10 working days of the receipt of the e-mail notifying you of insufficient documentation. If you are an individual policy holder, you can submit the shortfall documents to the nearest Medi Assist branch. If you are a corporate employee, just hand them over to the respective helpdesk person. Where can I get more help? Should you have any questions, clarifications or concerns regarding your health insurance, you can get in touch with your corporate single point of contact mentioned in your welcome email from Medi Assist. Here’s to healthy living!
