FAQS
Q. I am asked to submit Investigation reports. What should I do?
Ans: Investigation reports mean the pathological and diagnostic tests that you have undergone during the treatment on
treating doctors advise. Some examples are blood tests, urine examination, X ray, ECG etc.

Q.2 I am asked to clarify/Justify prolonged stay at the hospital. How can I justify the duration of stay in the hospital?
Ans: You are not expected to justify the stay duration. This needs to be explained by the treating hospital and the treating
doctor on their letter head. This is asked by insurers when the duration of stay is more than the average duration of stay for
a particular treatment. Please contact the hospital and obtain the same.

Q.3 I am asked to submit a sticker/invoice. What does this mean?


Ans: A Sticker or invoice is asked to prove the charges incurred for a lens (cataract) or any other implant like pace maker,
prosthetic joint etc used during surgery.

Q.4 I am asked to submit indoor case papers/ICP. What does it mean and where do I obtain these from?
Ans: Indoor case papers are the complete treatment record during your stay at the hospital. These are internal records of the
hospital and can be demanded from them. The hospital will be able to provide you a copy of the entire set and you need to
submit the same to us.

FAQS
Q.5. I am asked to provide break up of medicine and investigation charges. Where do I get these from?
Ans: This hospital main bill provided to you does not always provide individual break up of expenses for each
medicine administered or each test done by you. The hospital however maintains a record of each of these
transactions. We need these details to assess your claim and get approval from the insurer. You can demand
this from the hospital. (See slide no.10 for a sample)

Q.6. I am asked to provide time of admission and discharge from the hospital. What should I do?
Ans: Please approach the Hospital where the treatment was taken and ask them to provide the date and time of
admission and date and time of discharge from the hospital on their letter head. This is necessary to
determine whether hospitalization was for more than 24 Hrs.

Q.7 I am asked to provide the hospital registration no, number of beds, availability of nursing staff, Operation
theater availability etc. How do I know these and where do I get these?
Ans: These details are required by the insurer to determine whether treatment has been taken in a registered
hospital and whether it has the necessary infrastructure and facilities to qualify as a hospital as per terms and
condition of the policy. Please obtain these details from the hospital as per format on slide no.13.

Q.8. I am asked to provide a FIR and MLC report. What are these are where should I get these from?
Ans: The FIR report is the First information report to the police. The MLC report is called the Medico Legal
certificate that is prepared by the Hospital in case of Road Traffic accident and is endorsed by the Police. The
medico legal certificate must mention that the patient was not under influence of alcohol at the time of
accident. (MLC format on slide no. 11 and 12 for a sample)
