What is a pre-authorization request under group health insurance?

1Answer

A pre-authorization request is a process to get confirmation from the insurer about availing the cashless hospitalization facility at the network hospital. One can get pre-authorization on a planned medical process before 2 business days. In case of emergency hospitalization, the policyholder can call (24X7) helpline toll free 1800-425-9559 and get the authorization within 24 hours of admission.
