Rajnish Jaiswal,MD & CEOCashless mediclaim process requires a number of specialized processes, tracked by stringent timelines. In today’s’scenario; several cashless preauthorisation suffer from high level of rejections whereas various approved cases faces high amount of delay in payment disbursements as they are mainly handled by Non experts.

In case of denial by Insurance Company, it becomes difficult for the policy holder to meet such costs on their own without burning a hole in their savings. It is seen in many cases that with escalated medical cost and due to rejections of Insurance claims, many even compromise on quality healthcare. This undoubtedly creates dissatisfaction to the patients and at the same time builds a bad image for hospital and the Insurance Company as well.

Indore based Metro Zone Health Services (India) Pvt. Ltd. observing this has come forward in 2012 with a team of experienced professionals (Doctors and Mediclaim Domain Experts)and created a smooth cashless process for hospitals which is not only helping the Insured patients
for initiating cashless treatments but also helping hospitals in generating their revenues.
