Health insurance consists of Pre Hospitalisation, Hospitalisation and Post Hospitalisation. But normally it is seen that Pre and post hospitalisation are not cared by TPAs. They pay only for hospitalisation in cashless claims to hospitals. If in a cashless claims, if an insured is late to intimate to TPA while still in Hospital, the tPA does not entertain cashless service. What are the reasons ?
