How Cashless Cataract Surgery Works
Step 1: Verification (Before Visit)
Call us with your insurance card details. We verify your policy coverage, cataract surgery sub-limits, waiting period status, and network hospital eligibility.
Step 2: Pre-Authorization (2-3 Days Before Surgery)
We submit pre-authorization to your TPA with your diagnosis, planned procedure, estimated cost, and medical history. TPA approves typically within 24-48 hours.
Step 3: Surgery Day
You bring your insurance card and ID proof. We confirm authorization and proceed with surgery. You pay only non-admissible amounts (if any).
Step 4: Claim Settlement
We submit bills, discharge summary, and documents to TPA. The insurer pays us directly. You receive a settlement summary.
Our insurance coordinator handles every step. You simply provide documents and focus on your treatment.
