Reimbursement Support

Reimbursement pathways apply when the customer pays the provider first and then seeks recovery from the insurer or TPA under the policy. Success depends on complete, consistent paperwork as much as on coverage terms.

Claims Saathi focuses on claim form readiness, document indexing, payment-proof alignment and query follow-up. We do not advance claim money or guarantee reimbursement amounts.

Line-item non-payables, sub-limits and exclusions still apply as the insurer determines after review.

• Customers who paid hospital or clinic bills and are filing for reimbursement
• Families assembling multi-visit outpatient bills under policies that allow them
• Individuals who received a deficiency letter listing missing receipts or reports
• Policyholders switching from a failed or partial cashless attempt to reimbursement
• Anyone needing a clear index before portal upload

• Post-discharge reimbursement with final bill, itemised bill and discharge summary
• Pharmacy and diagnostic bills that must map to prescriptions
• Need to match payment gateway proofs to hospital receipts
• Resubmission after queries on missing consultation notes
• Organising chronological medical records spanning several days of treatment

1. 1

   Confirm reimbursement eligibility pathway

   Check that your policy and insurer process accept reimbursement for the episode—confirmation of payable amount still awaits review.

2. 2

   Complete the claim form

   Fill insurer or TPA forms accurately with member and bank details.

3. 3

   Index bills and clinical papers

   Group discharge summary, itemised bills, prescriptions and reports.

4. 4

   Attach payment records

   Include receipts, settlement letters and bank or card proofs as required.

5. 5

   Submit and track queries

   Upload or courier as prescribed; answer deficiency memos promptly.

6. 6

   Await insurer or TPA decision

   Payable amount and timeline remain their determination.

• Policy and member identifiers
• Hospital or provider names and bill numbers
• Admission and discharge or consultation dates
• Total amount paid and claimed
• Bank account details for credit
• Claim reference if a prior cashless file exists for the same episode

Documents commonly requested may include the items below. Requirements vary based on the insurer, TPA, policy terms and claim circumstances.

• Claimed totals that exceed receipted payments without explanation
• Pharmacy bills without matching prescriptions
• Itemised bills missing stamp or authorised hospital signatures where required
• Illegible scans of critical pages
• Bank details that bounce payout attempts

• Reviewing form completeness before submission
• Indexing bills, receipts, prescriptions and reports
• Cross-checking payment proofs against billed amounts at a documentation level
• Helping draft factual responses to deficiency letters
• Following up on available reimbursement file status
• Guiding secure upload practices for financial and medical papers

• Pay providers through traceable methods when possible and retain proofs
• Do not fabricate receipts or alter bill images
• Submit within timelines stated by the insurer or policy
• Keep originals until settlement communication advises otherwise
• Understand that documentation help does not equal payment guarantee

The insurer or TPA decides admissible amounts, deductions, repudiation and reimbursement timelines.

Claims Saathi assists with documentation and coordination but does not determine claim approval.
