Claim Process for Oriental Insurance Company:

The claim process for the oriental insurance company may vary according to the insurance plan, nature of the incident (fire/theft/accident), and liabilities involved. Commonly, the claim process for oriental insurance policies is divided into two broad categories: cashless claims and reimbursement claims.

Cashless claims:

As the name suggests, the insured individual can get medical treatment without paying cash to the concerned hospital or nursing home. The insurance company will pay all hospitalization expenses and other medical costs as per the policy. However, in order to avail this facility, the insured individual needs to get admitted to one of the network hospitals only. To get the cashless claim, follow the given step-by-step procedure-

Step 1: Fill the prescribed pre-authorization form, provided by the insurance company. It can be accessed from the company's network hospital/the TPA/company's website. It requires some basic information about the insured and the list of treatments to be approved.

Step 2: Get ready with all the necessary documents in reference to your insurance claim like a copy of insurance policy, identity proof and submit them along with duly filled form to get financial support.

Step 3: After submission, wait for the approval of the application. The claim department of the insurance company will cross-examine the application with the respective hospital.

Step 4: Once you get the approval, you will get the claim settled with Oriental Insurance.

Reimbursement Claims: 

Unlike a cashless claim, no pre-authorization is required as the insured individual initially needs to bear all the medical expenses on his/her own. Later after getting approval from the insurance company, the reimbursement is provided for the incurred expenses due to hospitalization. To get reimbursement claim after the treatment, follow the given step-by-step procedure-

Step 1: Notify your insurance agency/company for claim support at the earliest or within the specified duration, mentioned in your policy.

Step 2: Get ready with all the required documents in reference to your insurance claim and submit them to get financial support.

Step 3: As per the policy, the company's claim management department will process the application to calculate the risk or loss incurred. In case of any query, you need to be answerable to their questions.

Step 4: Once you get the approval, you will get the claim settled within a week or so.
