HEALTH360 enters into an agreement with a Health Care Provider for the purpose of offering clients a cashless service. These health care providers are called Network providers. Network Providers follow certain guidelines such as providing quality treatment to our valued Insured on a priority basis. We have strong Network Providers across Bahrain. Direct Billing Facility cannot be extended to non Network Providers.
A deductible is the amount of money which the insured must pay before the insurance company's own coverage plan begins at the point of service.
One of the main features of Health360 is extending Direct Billing Facility. It is also known as Cashless Benefit. If Direct Billing Facility is availed by an Insured, he/she need not pay any Deposit at the time of visit to a Network Provider. The Insured gets quality treatment without having to pay for the treatment and then getting it reimbursed. The Cashless benefit reduces this financial burden and helps you recover with peace of mind. The Cashless service is granted subject to the Policy terms & conditions.
At the time of admission the Insured needs to show the Insurance Membership ID Card to the Network Provider. A request for Direct Billing Facility is made by the Insured through the Network Providerl in the format prescribed for the purpose. This is called a Pre-Authorization Form. After due verification of the request and subject to Policy terms, conditions & exceptions, HEALTH360 issues an Approval to the Network Provider, thereby guaranteeing payment. After discharge the concerned provider submits all the required documents in original. The payment is released to the Health Care Provider directly by HEALTH360.
Reimbursement of Claim takes place when, after incurring the treatment expenditure from his pocket, the Insured claims payment under the Policy.
To obtain reimbursement, the member must submit the following original documents (photocopies are not acceptable).
