We can help you channelize a system to regulate the tie-ups/empanelment for hospital. TPA is an intermediary body which is authorised by its empanelled insurance company with which the patient has a standard mediclaim policy.
Similarly patient working with central government or defense have their own healthcare provision facility from the government body. Tie – up with these bodies give you fresh footfall from these specific patients.
All these patients are issued an agency specific ID card and given necessary papers to avail of their subsidized or cashless treatment at the empanelled hospital.
This ensures maximum convenience for the patient and an interim financial relief in case the bills are huge.

Also big corporate have a wellness clinic which have tie ups with hospitals giving them 24 hour or office hours medical cover. Schools also have tie ups with hospitals for emergency.
