What is a Health Insurance Claim? Raja Hospital

A health insurance claim is a request made to your insurance company to cover medical services you’ve received or to reimburse you for payments you’ve made out of your pocket. Essentially, it’s how you tell your insurer, “Hey, I got the medical care I needed, and I’d like you to take care of the bills, please!

Types of Health Insurance Claims at Raja Hospital

There are mainly two types of health insurance claims:

  1. Cashless Claims: These are the most convenient. At hospitals like Raja Hospital that are part of your insurer’s network, the hospital directly bills your insurance provider. You don’t have to pay upfront; your insurer settles the bills with us.
  1. Non-Cashless/Reimbursement Claims: If you receive treatment at a hospital not in your insurer’s network or prefer paying through your pocket initially, this type is for you. You pay the bills, then claim reimbursement from your insurance company.
