The Mediclaim Policy allows reimbursement of medical expenses incurred towards the ailment / disease for which hospitalization was necessitated prior to hospitalization and up to a certain number of days after discharge.
This is subject to the limits as described in the policy. The medical expenses incurred prior to Hospitalization are called pre- hospitalization expenses and those incurred subsequent to discharge as post Hospitalization expenses.
Send all bills in original with supporting documents along with a copy of the discharge summary and a copy of the authorization letter to the nearest TPA Office. TPA will scrutinize the claim and settle the bills subject to the overall limit of the policy, provided the main hospitalization claim is admissible. The bills must be sent to TPA within the defined period from the date of completion of treatment.
