CA Sakchi Jain Instagram – Don’t pay extra hospital bills!
We often face long waits for cashless insurance clearances during hospital discharge, making an already tough situation even more stressful. But now, the IRDAI has stepped in to help. Here’s how:
• Quick Discharge Mandate: Policyholders should not be kept waiting beyond three hours for discharge. If there is a delay beyond three hours, the insurer will cover the additional hospital charges.
• Financial Relief: If the delay causes the patient to stay another day, the cost of that additional night’s stay will be borne by the insurer from the shareholder’s fund.
• In Case of Death: If the policyholder passes away during treatment, the insurer must immediately process the claim request and ensure the body is released from the hospital without any delay.
These new regulations promise to make the discharge process smoother and more compassionate for everyone involved.
