How a cashless hospital claim works between the hospital, the TPA and the insurer, from pre-authorisation to final settlement.
Drawing diagram…
Cashless health insurance claim workflow: the hospital's insurance desk sends a pre-authorisation request to the TPA with diagnosis and cost estimate. The TPA checks the policy and asks for more documents if needed, then approves, partially approves or rejects. After discharge the hospital sends the final bill; the TPA audits it against the approval and the insurer pays the hospital. Non-payable items are collected from the patient.
