Digitalisation and standardisation of practices can bring about significant changes in the claims exchange process.
As the state and central governments strive towards making healthcare affordable, the Indian healthcare industry is transitioning to innovate and introduce best practices using technology to provide basic healthcare access to all citizens. The sector is also having the potential to leverage technology to bring in standardisation, create efficient delivery systems thus ensuring reach, growth, and profitability. With this approach, technology can be used to address problem areas across various levels of the healthcare delivery process.
The Consumer Problem
As health insurance serves a crucial healthcare need, meeting the policyholder’s expectations in terms of product and service is crucial. The current scenario, however, is far from ideal. To start with, the unavailability of unbiased information while purchasing a policy and lack of awareness about utilisation guidelines, cashless policies has crippled the adoption of policies in India. Secondly, once a patient is admitted, the lack of transparency of the health insurance approval and reimbursement process leads to an unsavoury hospital experience. Thirdly, the current process of information exchange between hospitals and payers is also prone to errors, back and forth between insurance desks that result in longer turnaround times, where customer service too suffers.
