Cashless Claim
Cashless Claims can be made in two different situations, one when the hospitalization is an emergency one and the other when it is a planned one. In case of an Emergency hospitalization, the policyholder should inform the companies within 24 hours of admission to the hospital by calling at the toll free number of the company, whereas, in case of a planned hospitalization, the policyholder should inform the company at least 72 hours prior to admission to the hospital.
Having done that, the policy holder should contact the cashless counter at the hospital and fill the pre authorization form available at the counter for cashless claims. The policy holder must submit documents such as pre admission prescriptions & Medical reports along with a copy of photo id and health card. The cashless counter will then forward the documents to the company in order to seek approval of the same.
The company then, within 6 hours of receiving the required documents sends a claim reference number and an intimation stating whether the claim has been accepted or rejected by the company to the policy holder. The company will also inform the policy holder of any uncovered non medical expenses, if any.
In case the claim has been recognized by the company, then the policy holder should make the payments due towards uncovered expenses and duly attest all the medical bills and related documents.
In case the claim has not been recognized by the company, then the policy holder should bear all the expenses and apply for a reimbursement with the insurance company. The company will then intimate the policy holder within 6 working days of having received the required documents.
Reimbursement Claim
Reimbursement Claims can be made in two different situations, one when the hospitalization is an emergency one and the other when it is a planned one. In case of an Emergency hospitalization, the policyholder should inform the companies within 24 hours of admission to the hospital by calling at the toll free number of the company, whereas, in case of a planned hospitalization, the policyholder should inform the company at least 72 hours prior to admission to the hospital.
Having done that, the policy holder should submit the claim intimation form along with the below mentioned details pertaining to the patient:
The policy holder can send the information to the company by adopting any of the below mentioned steps:
The policy holder should follow the below mentioned steps in order to claim motor insurance with the company.
He must make sure that the motor has not been left unattended or unlocked post accident.
In case, there’s a third party involved in the accident, then he must make sure to note the vehicle number of the third party and also look up for witnesses and note down their contact details and phone number. (In case of an accident with a third party, if a death of the third party occurs or any kind of damage or injury is caused to the third party, then the policy holder must immediately file an FIR with the nearest police station. Filing an FIR is mandatory in order to make motor insurance claims).
The policy holder should arrange for a towing vehicle if his vehicle is no more in working condition. The policy holder must make sure to not drive the car any further if there is any kind of oil/coolant leakage. The company is not liable to recognize claims on damages caused due to driving post an accident.
If the policy holder wishes to make a reimbursement claim, then he may choose to take the vehicle to any workshop of his choice. He need not necessarily take it to a networked garage (workshop having a tie up with L&T insurance). However, if he wishes to make a cashless claim then he has to mandatorily take his vehicle to a networked garage. It’s always preferable that the holder keep a list of networked garage with him in order to help him at times of need.
The policy holder must make sure to call at the toll free number given at 1800-209-5846 of the company, within 24 hours of the occurrence of the accident and give them a report of the same.
The customer care executive will then issue a claim reference number to the policy holder and also intimate him about the steps to be followed and the documents to be submitted in order to make a claim with the company. The company will then send a Surveyor to the workshop in order to authenticate the claim.
The policy holder must make sure not to undertake any kid of repairing work before the invigilation process has been completed by the Surveyor and he has issued a Survey/Inspection Report. The holder must fill up the claim forms and submit it to the surveyor.
The company will entertain claims only which are directly related to the accident. Any kind of repairs undertaken owing to damage prior to the accident will not be recognized by the company.
If the policy holder opts for a cashless claim, then he must pay off the extra expenses incurred, which are not covered under the plan. L&T will pay only what has been covered in the plan.
If the policy holder opts for a reimbursement claim, then he must make payments at the workshop and collect all the bills and receipts and submit the same to the insurance company in order to file a claim.
The policy holder should follow the below mentioned steps in order to claim home insurance with the company.
He must immediately inform the company by placing a call at the company’s 16*7 call centre.

If the nature of damage is burglary, then the policy holder must intimate the police.
The documents related to the nature of claim are required to be submitted by the policy holder.
The insurance company will then intimate the policy holder about the status of the claim within 30 days of having received the documents.
