AHPI asks Star Health to restore cashless services at hospitals

Mumbai: The Association of Healthcare Providers of India (AHPI) has raised concerns over Star Health Insurance suspending cashless treatment and asked the insurer to restore it in several hospitals.

AHPI has said that cashless services is disrupted at several hospitals including Care Hospitals in Vizag, Manipal in Delhi and Gurugram, Max in North India.

Other hospitals such as Metro in Faridabad, Medanta in Lucknow, Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Hospital in New Delhi, Sarvodaya in Faridabad and Yatharth Hospitals have reported disruption of services.


AHPI said the insurer has also slowed down or denied empanelment to several hospitals, including Fortis Manesar, Jupiter Indore, Max Dwarka, Medanta Noida, and Care Hospitals in Hyderabad and Vizag. This has forced families into reimbursement claims instead of cashless treatment.

The association has asked Star Health to immediately restore cashless services and expedite empanelments.
