National Mediclaim Plus Policy: Claim Process
When it comes to applying a claim, policyholders love a simple and hassle-free process. National Insurance Company understands the same and that's why it made the entire process easier for its customers. There are two options from which people can choose- cashless and reimbursement. Let's explore them in detail.
Cashless
It is one of the most preferred options when it comes to claiming National Mediclaim Plus Policy. This process allows the insured to get the required cover without paying a single penny from his/her pocket. To file a cashless claim, you need to inform the insurer about the same as soon as possible or connect with the TPA along with required documents. In case of an emergency, you should inform them within 24 to 48 hours and in case of a planned hospitalization at-least 3 to 4 days before. The insurer or the TPA will take care of the rest of the procedure and you can completely focus on your treatment rather than expenses.
Reimbursement
This is the process under which you have to pay all your medical bills in the first place and then you can file for the reimbursement. For the same, you need to immediately inform the insurer. You need to submit a claim form with all the required documents that include all medical bills, prescriptions, discharge card, medical investigations reports and other documents related to the treatment. The insurance company or accessor can ask for additional documents if required. He/she will analyze all the reports and will share results with you. If it gets approved, the company will transfer the claim amount directly to your account or in case of rejection, you will receive a reason for the same.
