'Cashless Everywhere' initiative

 

'Cashless Everywhere' initiative by the General Insurance Council

 The General Insurance Council (GIC) in consultation with general and health insurance companies has launched 'Cashless Everywhere' initiative to extend the cashless treatment at all hospitals. Health insurance policyholders can now avail of cashless facilities even at hospitals that are not in the network of the insurers.

In brief:

To get 'Cashless Everywhere' facility at a non-empanelled hospital, according to the guidelines set by the GIC, there are three rules that health insurance policy holders need to keep in mind:

1) For elective procedures, the customer should inform the insurance company at least 48 hours before the admission.

2) For emergency treatment, the customer should inform the insurance company within 48 hours of admission.

3) The claim should be admissible as per the terms of the policy and the cashless facility should be admissible as per the operating guidelines of the insurance company.

Do keep in mind that the charges at the non-network hospital will be based on the rates that the hospital charges to the existing empanelled insurers.

The cashless facility at non-network hospitals will be effective immediately, says the General Insurance Council on January 24, 2024.

Applicable for type of Hospitals

Hospitals with 15 beds, and registered with the respective state health authorities under the Clinical Establishment Act can offer cashless hospitalisation now.
