Health insurance: Cashless treatment at any hospital now as insurers launch new initiative

The General Insurance Council on Wednesday announced a drive aimed at making cashless hospitalization available to policyholders even in non-empanelled hospitals. Hospitals with 15 beds, and registered with the respective state health authorities under the Clinical Establishment Act can offer cashless hospitalization now. In the event of hospitalization, policyholders need not pay for treatment out of their pockets as the expenses would be covered by the insurance companies concerned. This is subject to the claim of being admissible, as per the council.
