Cashless hospitalization is service provided by the TPA on Our behalf whereby you are not required to
settle the hospitalization expenses at the time of discharge from hospital. The settlement is done directly by
the TPA on Our behalf. However, those expenses which are not admissible under the Policy would not be
paid and You would have to pay such inadmissible expenses to the Hospital. Cashless facility is available
only in Networked Hospitals. Prior approval is required from the TPA before the patient is admitted into
the Networked Hospital. The list of Networked Hospitals can be obtained from the TPA or from their
website. You will have full freedom to choose the hospitals from the Networked Hospitals and avail
Cashless facility on production of proof of Insurance and Your identity, subject to the claim being
admissible. The TPA might not agree to provide Cashless facility at a Hospital which is not a Network
Hospital. In such cases you may avail treatment at any Hospital of Your choice and seek reimbursement of
the claim subject to the terms and conditions of the policy.
In cases where the admissibility of the claim could not be determined with the available documents, even if
the treatment is at a Network Hospital, the TPA may refuse to provide Cashless facility. Such refusal may
not necessarily mean denial of the claim. You may seek reimbursement of the expenses incurred by
producing all relevant documents and the TPA may pay the claim, if it is admissible under the terms and
conditions of the Policy.
9. Can I change hospitals during the course of my treatment?
Yes, it is possible to shift to another hospital for reasons of requirement of better medical procedure.

conditions.

cashless facility?
In case of treatment in a non-Network Hospital, TPA will reimburse you the amount of bills subject to the
conditions of the Policy. You must ensure that the Hospital where treatment is taken fulfils the conditions of
definition of Hospital in the Policy. Within twenty-four hours of Hospitalization the TPA should be intimated.

"Maximum coverage for one individual person must be Rupees 20 Lacs or less". If you have more than one
policy with coverage for more than Rupees 20 lacs (SUM Insured), you may cancel and get refund for Sum
Insured exceeding Rupees 20 lacs.
15. Why not I take a Top UP Policy instead of New India’s Mediclaim Policy?
As the Medical inflation is spiraling up and Cost of Room and Nursing expenses is high, the probability of
Primary Insurance Company restricting your room rent in proportion to your basic Insurance Limit is very
High. We give an example.
A member has taken Basic Mediclaim Insurance for Rs. 3 Lacs and Top Up cover of Rs. 10 lacs.
The Basic insurance is having a room rent limit of 1.5% on Sum Insured. However, the Hospital doesn‟t have
any room lees than Rs. 10,000/- per day.
Member gets admitted and total bill is Rs. 2 Lacs with a room rent of Rs. 10,000/-
Basic Insurance Company will pay Rs. 4,500/- per day and disallow the balance as per Policy Terms and
Conditions.
Member approaches the Insurance Company issued Top UP Policy. Still, the difference of Rs. 5,500/-
would not be paid as Total expense is less than Threshold Limit of Rs. 3 Lacs.
New India Assurance Policy will pay the full room rent in this case, even if he takes the policy for Rs. 7 lacs.
