The Preferred Provider Organization (also called the Managed Health Network) is a group of highly qualified, well-equipped medical providers with whom IGI LIFE has contracted to provide you with a superlative care.

There are several advantages of using IGI LIFE’s Managed Health Plan. Some of these are:

• No claims submission.
• All eligible medical expenses incurred at the provider network will be paid for directly by IGI LIFE.

Emphasis is laid on making it easier for you, our customer, to receive the proper care.

Admission procedure is divided into two i.e. emergency admissions & non-emergency admission.

Emergency Admission: In cases of emergency no prior approval is required.

In case of emergency just go to one of the panel hospitals and if the attending physician advises you admission present your IGI LIFE Identification card to the admission office and get admitted, inform IGI LIFE or your HR Manager within 24 working hours.

However if you choose to go to a non-panel hospital you are allowed to do so but in that case you have to inform your HR Manager & IGI LIFE within 24 working hours and after getting discharged from the hospital you have to file a claim.

if you are going to a panel hospital the bill will be settled directly between IGI LIFE & the provider.

Non-emergency Admissions: in case of non-emergency you have to get a prior approval in the form of Benefits Predetermination review.

A serious medical condition or symptom (including severe pain) resulting from injury, sickness or mental illness which arises suddenly and requires immediate care and treatment, generally received within 24 hours of onset, to avoid jeopardy to the life or health of a covered person.

Your attending physician is going to define whether it’s an emergency or non-emergency.

Benefits Pre-determination Review is a process whereby a designated officer of the insurance company reviews proposed Inpatient Hospital Confinement, Outpatient Surgery, MRI/CT Scan, Physiotherapy, Echocardiography, Echo to make sure that the insured’s medical needs are being met and that the most cost-effective solution is being utilized.
