There are two ways to make a claim under a Health Insurance Policy: on a cashless basis and on a reimbursement basis. In simple terms, for making a claim on cashless basis, the treatment must be done only at a network hospital of the insurance company servicing your policy. For availing the treatment, you would have to first seek an authorization as per the procedures laid down and in the prescribed form. In case of claims on reimbursement basis, the insurance company has to be informed as per their prescribed procedures. The policyholder has to ensure that documents such as claim form, discharge summary, prescriptions and bills to be submitted for the claim on reimbursement are obtained after hospitalization.
The claim processing system at ICICI Lombard is as follows:
| Cashless Service- seeking Pre-Authorization | Reimbursement Claim- Claim Submission |
|---|---|
In case of any emergencies, you need to inform ICICI Lombard within 24 hours of the admission. In case of planned emergencies, the notification has to reach the company two days prior to the hospitalization.
