Network status and empanelment may change. Please contact the hospital and your insurer to confirm whether your policy is accepted for the planned treatment.

KNOW YOUR COVER
What May Not Be Covered?
Coverage differs by policy. The following are examples of items or circumstances that may be excluded, limited or require additional payment.
Non-medical consumables, personal comfort items or administrative charges where excluded by the policy.
Ambulance or transport charges that exceed the policy's permitted limit or are not covered.
Treatments affected by policy waiting periods or specific pre-existing-condition terms.
Treatment or procedures not covered by the policy, or not meeting its medical-necessity criteria.
Cosmetic procedures unless specifically covered or medically indicated under policy terms.
Claims delayed or affected by incomplete, inaccurate or missing documentation.
These are general examples, not a definitive list of exclusions. Refer to your policy wording and ask your insurer/TPA to confirm your individual coverage.
QUICK ANSWERS
Frequently Asked Questions
General guidance for patients planning admission or checking insurance coverage.
Contact the hospital before planned admission and ask your insurer/TPA to verify the hospital's current network status for your policy. Empanelment and cashless eligibility can vary by product and may change over time.
Commonly requested documents may include a valid photo ID, insurance card or policy details, referral and relevant clinical records. Your insurer/TPA or hospital team may request additional documents depending on the case.
Pre-authorisation is a request sent to the insurer/TPA for review before or during treatment, where required. It is not a guarantee of final claim settlement; the insurer/TPA applies the policy terms and may request more information.
Ask the insurer/TPA for the reason and discuss available options with the hospital. Depending on the policy and circumstances, you may be able to pay for treatment and submit a reimbursement claim, but reimbursement is not guaranteed and remains subject to policy terms.
Scheme participation, package availability and patient eligibility must be confirmed with the hospital's authorised scheme/helpdesk team. Please contact SBMCH before relying on a particular scheme for treatment.
Timing varies by insurer/TPA, treatment, admission urgency and whether complete documentation has been received. Ask the insurer/TPA or hospital team for the current status; no fixed approval time can be guaranteed.
Coordination between multiple policies depends on the policy conditions and insurer procedures. Contact both insurers before admission or claim submission to confirm the permitted process and documents.
Use the enquiry form on this page or contact the hospital through its official contact channels. Please confirm the dedicated insurance desk phone number and email with SBMCH administration before adding them to this page.
NEED CLARITY BEFORE ADMISSION?
