    Claim Procedure

    Yeshasvini Health Care Scheme is entirely cashless from admission to discharge. This scheme is implemented by Management Support Service Provider (MSP) through various network hospitals. At the time of hospital admission, the enrolled member is required to provide the identity card. Based on the preliminary diagnosis, the requirement for surgical intervention is determined. The network hospital will send the pre-authorisation requirement to the Yeshasvini Trust for approval.

After receiving the pre authorisation for medical treatment, doctors and surgeons in the network hospital can proceed with the medical treatment. Following treatment, the network hospital will send all the medical bills and discharge summary of the patient to the MSP. Upon verification of the claim, the Trust will arrange payment to the network hospital.
