Serving Cashless Patients Since 2008
Cashless health insurance treatment is a facility offered by health insurance companies and the hospitals empanelled with them – allowing policyholders to receive medical treatment without paying money upfront at the time of hospitalisation. Instead of paying the hospital bill yourself and then claiming reimbursement later, the insurance company directly settles the bill with the hospital on your behalf.
In simple terms: you show your insurance card or policy details at our Insurance Desk, we verify your coverage and obtain pre-authorisation from your insurer, and your treatment proceeds – completely cashless. The insurer pays the hospital directly for all covered expenses. You pay only for any non-covered items (such as certain consumables or non-medical expenses, depending on your policy).
A great emergency team needs great tools. Shree Giriraj Hospital’s Emergency Department is equipped with advanced diagnostic and
therapeutic technology that enables rapid diagnosis and immediate life-saving treatment – available at any hour, without delay.

A Third Party Administrator (TPA) is a licensed intermediary company authorised by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) to manage health insurance claims on behalf of insurance companies. Many insurance companies – particularly those administering large corporate group health policies, central and state government employee health schemes, and defence health plans – process cashless claims through TPAs rather than directly.
Many large corporate employers in Rajkot, Saurashtra, and Gujarat – including manufacturing companies, IT firms, government departments, and PSUs – administer their employee health insurance through one of the TPAs listed above. If your employer-provided health card shows any of these TPA names, you are covered for cashless treatment at Shree Giriraj Hospital.
Not sure which TPA manages your policy? Check the back of your health insurance card – the TPA name and helpline number is usually printed there. You can also call our Insurance Desk at 0281-7151200 and our team will verify your TPA empanelment instantly.
Beyond private insurance companies and TPAs, Shree Giriraj Hospital is also empanelled under two important government health benefit schemes that provide free or subsidised treatment to specific categories of beneficiaries in Rajkot and Saurashtra. These schemes are particularly important for ensuring that eligible families in the economically weaker sections of society can access quality superspeciality care at no cost.
PM-JAY is the Government of India’s flagship health assurance scheme, providing cashless hospitalisation coverage of up to Rs. 10 lakh per family per year to eligible beneficiaries. Shree Giriraj Hospital is empanelled under PM-JAY for the following super specialities: Cardiology, Urology, Joint Replacement, Spine Surgery, General Surgery, and Oncology Surgery.
Since October 2024, all senior citizens aged 70 years and above are eligible for PM-JAY coverage of Rs. 5 lakh per year under the Ayushman Vay Vandana Card – regardless of income or socio-economic status. Our dedicated PM-JAY facilitation desk helps patients check eligibility, obtain their Ayushman Bharat card, and complete the pre-authorisation process entirely without visiting any government office.
PGVCL (Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited) is the electricity distribution company serving Western Gujarat, including Rajkot, Saurashtra, and Kutch. PGVCL employees and their eligible dependants are covered under the company’s employee health benefit scheme, which provides cashless medical treatment at empanelled hospitals including Shree Giriraj Hospital.

Our Insurance Desk is located at the Hospital entry. Present your health insurance card (or TPA card, PM-JAY card, PGVCL ID) along with a valid photo ID (Aadhaar preferred). Our Insurance Executive will check your insurer/TPA empanelment and your policy details within minutes.
Our team verifies your policy number, sum insured, coverage details, waiting periods, and exclusions directly with your insurer or TPA through their online portal. We will clearly tell you what is covered, what is not covered, and your estimated out-of-pocket liability (if any) – before admission.
Once pre-authorisation is approved, you are admitted to the ward of your choice (subject to policy coverage). Your surgery, investigations, medicines, doctor fees, OT charges, ICU charges, and all covered expenses are directly billed to your insurer. You do not pay any cash deposit for covered items. Only non-covered items (specific consumables, upgrades, or policy exclusions) require payment.
At discharge, our billing team prepares the final hospital bill. The insurer-approved portion is settled directly between the hospital and your insurer. You receive the final bill showing the insurer-paid portion and your patient-payable portion (if any). Our team ensures all discharge summaries, prescriptions, and claim documents are complete and properly submitted.
Our Insurance Desk remains available for 15 days after discharge for any follow-up queries regarding your claim – including clarifications for the insurer, additional document submission, or guidance on post-discharge reimbursement for any non-covered items.
