About Claim Settlement Estimate Calculator

Claim settlement works through a sequence of deductions: non-payable consumables, sub-limits on specific procedures or room categories, then the copayment. The settled figure is usually 15-30% below the hospital bill even on a fully covered claim.

Formulas

Admissible amount

Admissible = Total bill - Non-payable items - Sub-limit deductions

Settlement

Settlement = Admissible x (1 - Copayment %)

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a non-payable item?

Gloves, syringes, administrative charges, food for attendants and similar consumables. Regulators publish standard non-payable lists.

Can I dispute a deduction?

Yes — request the itemised settlement sheet and challenge deductions that are not supported by the policy wording, via the insurer's grievance channel and then the ombudsman.
