An insurance claim is a formal contractual request made by a policyholder or nominee to an insurance company seeking financial compensation or reimbursement for covered damages, healthcare expenses, or economic losses under an active policy.
The Critical Difference Between Cashless and Reimbursement Claims
In a Cashless Claim, you seek treatment at an empanelled network hospital or repair your vehicle at an authorized network garage. The insurer settles approved bills directly with the provider, and you only settle non-medical consumables or statutory deductibles. In a Reimbursement Claim (common when using non-network facilities), you pay the full bill upfront out of pocket and subsequently submit original discharge summaries, invoices, and payment receipts to the insurer for refund.
What to Do If an Insurer Unfairly Rejects or Delays Your Claim
If an insurer repudiates your claim unfairly, you have robust legal recourses under IRDAI regulations: (1) File a formal grievance with the insurer’s Internal Grievance Redressal Officer (GRO), (2) If unresolved within 15 days, register an escalation on the IRDAI Bima Bharosa portal (bimabharosa.irdai.gov.in), and (3) Escalate to the Insurance Ombudsman — an independent statutory quasi-judicial authority that resolves claims up to ₹50 Lakhs within 90 days at zero cost to the policyholder.
