With a commitment to ensuring you have a convenient, swift, and seamless claim settlement experience, we seek your support to ensure the availability of every critical component required to evaluate and scrutinise the claim. One such crucial component is the availability of Indoor Case Papers (ICPs).
Understanding Indoor Case Papers:
ICPs, also known as case sheets or files, are the records maintained by the hospital during patient admissions/visits by the doctor, nurse, or the concerned medical staff. The ICPs include the exact time of the visit, the medical staff’s signature, and other parameters like body temperature, blood pressure and pulse rate, consciousness, alertness, and medications administered. These case sheets are the atomic medical record of the hospitalised patient.
The Significance in Reimbursement Claims:
ICPs help claim processors determine the eligibility of an insurance claim by providing detailed information on the diagnosis and the treatment provided. Through the objective parameters recorded, the ICPs document the admission with transparency giving insight into the ailment. This enables the team to process and decide on the claim unbiased.
An example of an ICP:
The ICPs are usually more than 3 pages long as every objective detail is recorded in the patient file. Depending on the duration of the hospitalisation, the ICPs can be an extensive document. Below is a glimpse of what the ICPs are:
Addressing Challenges:
It’s crucial to adhere to these requirements to avoid complications. Failing to submit the case sheets within the stipulated timeframe may lead to your claim closure.
Conclusion:
In summary, ICPs serve as proof in validating the course of treatment done at the hospital. Should our team highlight the requirement for the ICPs, promptly reach out to the hospital to obtain the original documentation.
By partnering with us and providing the necessary documentation, you can expedite the claim process and achieve a favourable outcome.
