PRE-ADMISSION AND ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
FOR CASHLESS TPA PATIENTS
Most of the eye surgeries are elective (planned). If you are scheduled for surgery after all investigations, please take an appointment for surgical date by counsellor.
• In such a case, you must apply for approval of the estimated hospital expenses directly by your TPA at least 4-5 days prior to the date of hospitalization.
• In case you have not applied for pre-authorization sufficiently in advance or if the doctor treating you advises you to get hospitalized immediately after the consultation, our Corporate/TPA Help Desk (Contact No- 8001192094) will assist you through the preauthorization procedure. Normal working hours are from 9:00am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Saturday
However the Corporate/ TPA Help Desk is only a facilitator and can in no way influence the decision on the approval. Your TPA may not grant approval due to any of the following reasons:
• If the ailment for which you are hospitalized is not covered in your policy.
• If the information contained in pre-authorization form is insufficient to approve the request, though most of the time the TPA will request the hospital if additional information is needed.
• If you have exhausted the sum assured for that year.
