Insurance Support for Eligible Patients

Vijayakrishna Multi Speciality Hospital provides insurance and TPA support to help eligible patients understand and complete the required process for hospital treatment. The hospital also provides insurance facilities along with support for Aarogyasri and EHS.

Our hospital team can assist patients with the relevant documentation and coordination required for insurance or TPA processing, subject to the applicable policy, scheme and approval requirements.

What is TPA?

Understanding Third-Party Administrator Services

TPA stands for Third-Party Administrator.

A TPA may act as a link between the insured patient, insurance company and hospital for processing eligible healthcare claims and related documentation.

The exact process and requirements can vary depending on the patient's insurance policy and the concerned insurance/TPA organisation.

Insurance Support at Vijayakrishna Hospital

Assistance with the Hospitalisation Process

For eligible insured patients, the hospital team can help with the general insurance-related process, including:

  • Collecting required patient information
  • Checking available insurance documents
  • Coordinating required documentation
  • Supporting the cashless/pre-authorisation process where applicable
  • Communicating relevant information to the concerned insurance/TPA team
  • Assisting with required hospital documentation

Insurance approval is subject to the patient's policy terms and the decision of the concerned insurance provider or TPA.

Cashless Treatment

Convenient Insurance Support for Eligible Patients

Under a cashless facility, eligible medical expenses may be settled directly between the hospital and the insurance/TPA organisation, subject to applicable policy terms and approval.

Cashless treatment is not automatic for every patient or every treatment.

Eligibility, coverage, exclusions, limits and approval requirements depend on the patient's insurance policy and the concerned insurance provider/TPA.

Pre-Authorisation

Approval Process for Cashless Treatment

For eligible cashless treatment, the insurance company or TPA may require a pre-authorisation request from the hospital.

The process may generally involve:

  1. Patient Registration

    Patient details and insurance information are collected.

  2. Document Submission

    Required medical and insurance documents are submitted.

  3. Pre-Authorisation Request

    The hospital submits the required request to the concerned insurance/TPA organisation.

  4. Review by Insurer/TPA

    The request is reviewed according to the policy terms and applicable conditions.

  5. Approval / Further Information

    The insurer or TPA may approve the request, ask for additional information or communicate the applicable decision.

  6. Treatment & Settlement

    Treatment and claim settlement proceed according to the applicable approval and policy terms.

Actual processing requirements may vary between insurance providers and policies.

Documents Required for Insurance / TPA

Keep Your Insurance Documents Ready

Patients may be asked to provide documents such as:

  • Health insurance card or policy details
  • Government-issued identification
  • Patient details
  • Insurance/TPA authorisation information, where applicable
  • Previous medical records, where relevant
  • Doctor's consultation or treatment-related documents
  • Investigation reports, where applicable

Additional documents may be requested depending on the insurance provider, TPA, treatment and claim requirements.

For Planned Hospitalisation

Start the Insurance Process in Advance

For planned treatment or hospitalisation, patients should inform the hospital about their insurance coverage as early as possible.

This can help the hospital team understand the applicable insurance process and initiate required documentation or pre-authorisation procedures where applicable.

Patients should carry their insurance documents and identification when visiting the hospital.

For Emergency Hospitalisation

Medical Care Comes First

In an emergency, patients should seek immediate medical attention without delaying necessary treatment for insurance formalities.

Insurance and TPA documentation can be coordinated according to the applicable process after the patient's immediate medical needs are addressed.

The availability and timing of cashless approval depend on the insurance provider/TPA and applicable policy requirements.

What Patients Should Know About Insurance Coverage

Coverage Depends on Your Policy

Insurance coverage can differ from one policy to another.

Patients should understand that:

  • Not every treatment may be covered.
  • Policy limits may apply.
  • Certain exclusions may apply.
  • Deductibles or co-payments may apply.
  • Approval may be required for cashless treatment.
  • Additional documentation may be requested.
  • Final claim settlement is subject to the insurer/TPA and policy terms.

The hospital cannot determine coverage independently of the applicable insurance policy and approval process.

Patient Responsibilities

Keep Your Insurance Information Updated

Patients and their attendants should:

  • Provide accurate insurance information.
  • Carry the required identification and policy documents.
  • Inform the hospital about existing insurance coverage.
  • Provide requested documents promptly.
  • Respond to requests for additional information when required.
  • Understand their policy's coverage, limits and exclusions.
  • Pay any applicable non-covered or patient-responsibility amount.

Insurance & TPA Coordination

Supporting Communication Between Patients, Hospital & Insurer

Insurance processing may involve coordination between three parties:

Patient / Attendant

Provides insurance details, identification and required information.

Hospital

Provides relevant medical and treatment documentation required for processing.

Insurance Company / TPA

Reviews the request according to the applicable policy and communicates the approval or other decision.

The exact process can vary depending on the insurance provider, TPA and patient's policy.
