<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe first and most important step is to inform the insurer as soon as possible. This is known as intimation, and it must be done within 30 days of hospitalization or the accident itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\nDetail<\/strong> <\/td>Information<\/strong> <\/td><\/tr>Timeline <\/td> Within 30 days of the incident <\/td><\/tr> Channels <\/td> WhatsApp at 8860402452 or the CHIL Genie App <\/td><\/tr> Outcome <\/td> You receive a Claim Reference ID for all future communication <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Step 2: Share the Right Information<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen you notify the insurer, a few key details need to be shared upfront so the claim can be logged correctly. These include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nName of the policyholder and claimant, along with the Customer ID from the Certificate of Insurance\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nHospital name and address\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nEstimated claim amount\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nPreliminary diagnosis and treatment details, including date of admission and expected duration of stay\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Step 3: Submit the Standard Documents<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOnce intimation is complete, a set of standard documents must be submitted to support the claim. <\/p>\n\n\n\nDocument Type<\/strong> <\/td>Examples<\/strong> <\/td><\/tr>Identity and payment <\/td> Photo ID proof, cancelled cheque or bank passbook for NEFT <\/td><\/tr> Hospital records <\/td> Discharge summary, admission records <\/td><\/tr> Bills and prescriptions <\/td> Itemized hospital bills, chemist bills <\/td><\/tr> Medical reports <\/td> Investigation reports (X ray, MRI, CT scan, blood tests), consultation notes <\/td><\/tr> Claim form <\/td> Duly filled and signed claim form <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Step 4: Additional Documents for Personal Accident Claims<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nFor claims specifically related to personal accident benefits, a few extra documents are required, and these must be submitted within 30 days of the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nDetailed medical report covering the nature of injury and treatment given\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nOfficial accident report, such as an FIR or Panchnama\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nOriginal death certificate, if applicable\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nDisability certificate from a hospital appointed Chief Medical Officer, where relevant\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nNewspaper clipping reporting the accident, if available\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nBank certificate detailing any outstanding loan amount\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nPhysical copies, where required, can be sent to CARE Health Insurance Company Limited at their office in Vipul Tech Square, Sector 43, Golf Course Road, Gurugram, Haryana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Step 5: Processing and Settlement<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOnce all the necessary documents, both physical and digital, are received by the insurer, the claim is reviewed and processed in sequence. If a claim is not reported immediately after the incident, late intimations are still reviewed on a case-by-case basis, though prompt notification is always recommended to avoid any complications or delays in settlement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
