FAQs
A network hospital is a specific hospital that has a tie-up with the insurer so that cashless claim facilities are provided to its clients. This helps in the speedy claim settlement process as well.
So, in a network hospital, you only need to provide your insurance and KYC details at the time of hospitalisation and the hospital takes care of the entire documentation process. Claims are settled directly by the insurer to the hospital without you having to pay the upfront amount for treatment.
On the other hand, non-network hospitals do not provide cashless treatment facilities. In these hospitals, you need to pay for the entire bill yourself and then claim the same from the insurer as a reimbursement along with all documentation, treatment details, original bills and receipts and your bank account details.
This is the basic difference between the two.
