MUMBAI: In a major relief to health insurance policy-holders, public sector insurance companies have announced that cashless treatment will be extended to all hospitals in emergency and trauma cases. During a healthcare meeting with the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) in New Delhi on Friday, New India Assurance Company chairman M Ramadoss said a patient who requires emergency and trauma services will be attended to through the cashless scheme in all TPA-empanelled hospitals. An official from the PSU said that emergency and trauma cases will have to be certified by third party administrators (TPAs) in order to avail of the cashless benefits. There are a total of 24 TPAs which are linked with the Gipsa (General Insurance Public Association), a body comprising the four public sector general insurance companies — New India Assurance Company, National Insurance Company, Oriental Insurance Company and United India Insurance Company. The official said that planned or elective surgeries such as bypass, knee replacement and cataract among others, do not fall under the category of emergency or trauma cases.

Experts from Medimanage.com give their opinion:
Sudhir Sarnobat:
This is a welcome change & as we had always maintained, a dialogue between insurers & the hospitals only can bring this imbroglio to successful resolution.
As mush the hospitals need the Insurers to maintain their revenues, the insurers need the Tertiary care hospitals to ensure that the high-cost treatments are offered to their customers on cashless basis. The changes in the health insurance market are just beginning & the industry will have lots of up-downs In near future and will continue to remain in news.

страхование
Страхование в Украине реабилитируется. Многие страховые компании в конкурентной борьбе были вынуждены понизить ставки, но благодаря этому они смогли остаться на рынке страхования. Кроме того, страховики, чтобы оставаться на рынке вынуждены должным образом выплачивать страховые премии в результате наступления страхового случая. Поэтому именно сейчас очень выгодно покупать такие страховые продукты как страховка КАСКО или страхование ОСАГО.
