Cashless Claim:-

If you take treatment in a non-network hospital, contact the TPA within 7 days from the date of admission with policy details like ID card number, nature of illness, name and address of the hospital or Nursing home. Submit the duly filled Claim Form along with the required documents.
NOTE: The maximum liability of the company is the sum insured as stated in the schedule of the policy.
