A Network Hospital is a hospital that enters into an agreement with a health insurance company to offer cashless medical treatment to the insured. When an insured gets admitted to a network hospital, the insurance company will directly settle the treatment bill.

Ans: A hospital is considered as a network hospital if it has a tie-up with an insurance company to provide cashless hospitalization facilities to its customers. On the other hand, a non-network hospital does not provide cashless treatment and thus, the customers need to pay the full hospital bill at the time of discharge. However, medical expenses incurred at a non-network hospital can be reimbursed by the insurance provider if a reimbursement claim is raised.
Ans: Health insurance providers in India have a wide network of empanelled hospitals to offer cashless hospitalization services to their customers. It not only eases the process of receiving treatment at a hospital for the insured but also increases customer loyalty.
Ans: Cashless healthcare refers to the medical treatment and hospitalization facilities offered by a network hospital. When you get admitted to a network hospital of your health insurance provider, you are not required to pay for the treatment availed during discharge. After you have been discharged, your insurance company will pay the hospital bill amount directly to the network hospital on your behalf.
Ans: You can get cashless treatment by getting admitted to a network hospital of your health insurance provider. After getting hospitalized, you will be required to fill up a pre-authorization form. Once your insurance company authorizes your treatment, you can avail cashless treatment at that network hospital.
Ans: At present, Care Health Insurance Limited comes with more than 16,500 network hospitals across India, which is the maximum number of network hospitals offered by any health insurance provider in India.
Ans: Network hospitals do not offer any discount to the policyholders for availing medical treatment. Instead, they offer cashless treatment facilities to the customers of the affiliated insurance company. As a result, the insured does not have to pay anything at the time of discharge and the hospital bill is paid directly by their insurance company to the network hospital.
Ans: No. Network hospitals do not reduce your treatment bill. They only allow you to get hospitalized and avail treatment on a cashless basis as the bill amount can be settled by your insurance company after your hospital discharge.
