Cashless claims are claims that can be settled without paying money upfront. This means, the hospital bill, diagnostic test, referral doctor consultation fee, and medicine cost of the insured person will be taken care of directly by MILVIK. We are offering a cashless facility in MILVIK’s listed partner hospitals, diagnostics center, Pharmacy, and specialist doctors.

To avail the cashless IPD/ Milvik Care benefits claim facility the hospitalization, diagnostic test, doctor referral, and medicine purchase needs to be preapproved by Milvik Doctors.

In case of emergency, where the patient or family members could not intimate or get approval from Milvik doctor before the hospitalization, they will have a maximum of 24-hour window to inform Milvik doctor.  Milvik doctor will verify the emergency condition and if it seems valid, they will approve the hospitalization.

There must be at least one night stay at the hospital (or at least 18 hours). In case of maternity, where the patient did not require to be hospitalized for 24 hours, such as natural delivery or miscarriage related treatment the minimum hours of hospitalization can be 18 hours.

After receiving the required approval from MILVIK doctors, the customer service team will issue a guarantee of payment (GOP) letter in favor of the customer (patient).

To be able to produce the GOP, the following documents need to be collected from the customer-

1. Customer national ID/passport
2. Insured relative (patient) national ID. In case of minors, birth certificate/ SSC/HSC certificate can be accepted.

The GOP will be-

(i) pushed to customer’s Health+ App account and (ii) the partner hospital authority.

The information presented in the GOP will include but not be limited to

• Issuance date
• Registered MSISDN
• Customer name and NID (or other valid IDs)

• Patient name
• Patient age
• Relationship with customer
• Presenting complaint and diagnosis
• Prescribed services
• Coverage by the cashless service including services and the amount limit.

A Guarantee of Payment (GOP) is a document that guarantees that the person/institution signing it will pay the required amount against any service undertaken by the other party. 

This helps to make cashless payments and prevents customers from having to pay for services that would normally be covered under MILVIK wellness plan.

No coverage can be availed for the first 12 months after commencement of service for pre-existing diseases. Any waiting period starts counting again if there is no payment for 3 consecutive months. No coverage will be provided for Pre-existing and congenital diseases.

No, you cannot get cashless services from a hospital or diagnostic center which is not included in the Milvik Cashless Partner network.

MILVIK Wellness Plan customers get a fixed amount of cashless coverage for purchases of medicines, diagnostic tests, and visits to external doctors which is prescribed by Milvik tele doctors.
