Bajaj Allianz General Insurance recently organized a workshop in Pune to educate hospitals about the benefits of enrolling in the National Health Claims Exchange (NHCX) platform. This initiative aligns with the General Insurance Council’s directive to integrate hospitals with NHCX for a more efficient healthcare claims process.
The workshop brought together key stakeholders from the healthcare ecosystem, including representatives from the National Health Authority (NHA), the General Insurance Council (GIC), the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), insurance industry peers, and Third Party Administrators (TPAs). Over 200 attendees, including representatives from hospitals, other insurance companies, TPAs, and various technology platform IT companies, participated in the workshop.
The National Health Authority (NHA) presented the platform’s benefits for all stakeholders. Mr. Kiran Gopal Vaska, IAS, Director-IT & Policy at the NHA, led the presentations and addressed participant queries. The General Insurance Council (GIC) was represented by Mr. Inderjeet Singh, Secretary General, GI Council, and Mr. P. Sashidhar Nair, Consultant & Technical Advisor-Health, GI Council, demonstrating the GIC’s commitment to driving NHCX adoption. Additionally, the workshop featured presentations from tech platform agencies—Claim Book, IHX, and Vitraya—detailing their capabilities and offerings to support hospitals and insurance companies in the NHCX value chain.
Mr. Tapan Singhel, MD & CEO, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance and Chairman of the General Insurance Council, emphasized the commitment to simplifying the healthcare claims process for hospitals and policyholders. The workshop aimed to familiarize hospitals with the platform’s capabilities and encourage their active participation, highlighting benefits such as streamlined claim processing, faster settlements, and enhanced transparency. The increased data accuracy and security will help reduce fraud and benefit both hospitals and policyholders.
