Pristyn Care Offers Cashless Health Insurance in Non-Network Hospitals

New Delhi, Oct 22 (PTI) Healthcare platform Pristyn Care on Tuesday said it has tied up with Aditya Birla Health Insurance and Park TPA to introduce cashless facilities in non-network hospitals on a pilot basis.

This will allow patients to access cashless treatments outside their insurance network while also simplifying payment processes and easing the financial burden, the company said in a statement.

The company has introduced a 45-minute express discharge service in its partner hospitals, to reduce discharge wait times that normally takes up to 6-8 hours in regular Indian hospitals.

"Our research shows that 50 per cent of patients face discharge delays due to insurance claims. Our 'Express Discharge Service' is a crucial step toward reducing patient wait times and enhancing convenience," Pristyn Care Co-founder Vaibhav Kapoor said.
