Cashless hospitalisation enables you to use hospital services without having to worry about paying hospital expenses. The insurance provider works directly with the hospital to pay the expenditures according to your insurance policy.

Cashless hospitalisation is applicable for both planned and unplanned hospitalisation. During planned hospitalisation, you submit a request for cashless hospitalisation to the insurance provider before entering the hospital. In case of unplanned hospitalisation, you can contact the insurance company after being admitted.

As per the insurance policy clause, the insurance company will provide coverage for both planned and unplanned hospitalisations.

Fasten your cashless facility in our network hospitals by following simple, six-step process.

1.Approach the insurance desk at a network hospital and request an intimation.

2.Intimation can be done by calling 044 6900 6900 / 044 4674 5800 e-mail us : support@starhealth.in.

3.Submit your Star Health Insurance ID card for identification, pre-admission investigations and doctor’s consultation papers(if any) to the hospital.

4.Network hospitals will verify your identity and submit a duly filled pre-authorization form to Star Health.

5.Our doctors verify all the submitted documents before processing the claim as per terms and conditions. An assigned field doctor may visit the patient at the hospital (only if a processing doctor feels to get more information and triggers the field visit).

6.After discharge, the hospital will send the claim documents to the company and the authorized amount will be settled directly to the hospital.

Note: The difference between the approved amount and actual amount has to be borne by the insured.
