Each person covered under the policy will be issued an identity card.
Whenever there is a need for hospitalization, the
policyholder should obtain an Authorization letter from TTK. For this
authorization, the policyholder may contact his/her nearest TTK office or toll
free number 1600-44-8885 and request for the same. The policyholder will
have to submit this authorization letter along with the identity card given by
TTK to the admission counter in the hospital. The hospital will then start
treatment. This facility is called 'CASHLESS ACCESS
' facility.
This request may be declined by TTK if the policyholder provides inadequate
information to them or the ailment/disease
for which hospitalization is required is not covered under the policy or the
insured person does not have adequate insured
amount left to cover the hospitalization costs.
The denial of preauthorization letter shall not be construed to mean that the
policyholder cannot claim under the terms and conditions of the policy. In
such cases, the policyholder is advised to file your claim for reimbursement and
TTK will process the claim as per the policy terms and conditions.
There are two types of Hospitalizations TTK takes care.
PLANNED HOSPITALIZATION
a) A request for Authorization (Pre-Authorization) for planned treatment has
to be filled up. This request form is
available in all TTK offices. This form has to be
filled up by the Doctor recommending Hospitalization. The form
must be filled in BLOCK letters indicating the Doctor's name,
Registration Number and Telephone Number. For
any clarifications, TTK's medical officer may contact the
policyholder's doctor before TTK initiates action on the
request.
b) This request must reach TTK office at least 4 days before hospitalizatin.
c) Any change in the date of hospitalization, Hospital, nature of illness or
surgeon who is going to perform the procedure
will make the authorization invalid. A fresh
authorization will have to be taken.
d) The authorization is valid only for Network Hospitals.
e) The authorization will be addressed to the hospital and sent to the patients
address or faxed to the hospital as
desired by the policyholder.
f) The policyholder can collect a claim form from the nearest TTK
office for claiming purpose.
GETTING HOSPITALIZED
In order to secure admission on the appointed day, the policy holder is advised to register the insured person's name with the hospital well in advance.
a) Contact the admission desk of the hospital.
b) Show the TTK identity card and Authorization letter given by TTK. The
hospital will check the ID card and
authorization letter. In case the policy holder does is
issued a non-photo identity card, he/she may have to carry some
identification documents like a driving licence/voter's ID
card etc.
c) Some network hospitals may charge the policy holder registration
fees/admission fees etc. These will have to be paid
by the policy holder. These expenses are not
reimbursable under the policy.
d) If the approved amount is less than the amount estimated by the hospital, the
policy holder should make arrangements
for the difference. In addition to the above, the
policy holder may have to pay expenses towards telephone charges,
ambulance charges etc. if incurred. For more details,
please contact toll free number 1600-44-8885.
EMERGENCY HOSPITALIZATION
The insured person is advised to get admitted,
in case of admission to a Network Hospital, the hospital will admit the
patient as per the procedure of the hospital. The hospital will then
contact TTK and send us a request for authorization.
At times, the policyholder may be required to contact TTK for
authorization. The card member must send the pre-authorization request
completly filled. TTK will revert within 6 hours of receipt of the
request. In case cashless access is declined, this is no way to be
construed to be denial of treatment. The card member must obtain the
treatment
as per his/her treating doctor's advice. The denial of pre-authorization
letter shall not be construed to mean that the
card member cannot claim under the terms and conditions of the policy from TTK.
In such cases the card member is advised to file his claim for reimbursement and
TTK will process the claim as per the policy terms and conditions.
In case the insured person gets admitted to a
non-network hospital, then the hospitalization bills will be reimbursed by
TTK as per policy terms and conditions.
