A medical emergency doesn’t wait for your insurer to approve a claim.
In India, insurance claims can take days or even weeks to process — and that delay could cost you or your loved ones dearly.
So how do you prepare financially when you can’t rely on insurance paperwork during the critical first hours?
Here’s how to build an instant-access safety net that kicks in when you need it — without delays, loopholes, or waiting games.
❗ Why Insurance Claims Often Get Delayed in India
Hospitals not in-network
Missing documentation or unclear diagnosis
Pre-authorization pending
Policy fine print exclusions
TPA delays or manual claim processes
Result? You're paying upfront and claiming later — IF it’s approved.
That’s why you need a Plan B — real, liquid money ready to go.
✅ Top 5 Ways to Financially Prepare for Medical Emergencies (Beyond Insurance)
1. Build a Dedicated Health Emergency Fund
Have at least ₹50,000–₹1 lakh set aside in a high-interest savings account or liquid mutual fund.
💡 Vizzve Tip: Set a monthly auto-transfer to build this fund over time.
2. Use Digital Lockers for Documents
Keep ID proofs, policy docs, health reports, and hospital cards stored in DigiLocker or Google Drive.
Fast access = faster treatment and fewer insurance hurdles.
3. Choose Cashless-Friendly Hospitals Ahead of Time
Call nearby hospitals and check whether they support your insurer's cashless network.
Create a shortlist and keep numbers handy.
4. Have a Medical Contingency Credit Line
Use a low-interest medical emergency personal loan or credit line — pre-approved by Vizzve — as backup.
5. Educate Your Family
Your family should know:
Where the emergency fund is
Which hospitals to go to
Whom to contact in case of insurance rejection
💰 Emergency Fund: Your First Line of Defense
Your insurance may reimburse, but your emergency fund responds immediately.
Here’s how much to save:
Individual: ₹50,000 minimum
Family of 4: ₹1–1.5 lakh
Elderly parents included: ₹2 lakh+
💡 Pro tip: Put this fund in a liquid fund with instant redemption or a bank account linked to UPI.
🏥 Pre-Approvals, Digital Access & Hospital Research
Speed is survival in a medical emergency. Set up:
Hospital pre-checks with insurer
UPI access to emergency fund
Medical ID on smartphone lock screen
QR-code access to your policy documents
The faster you can act, the more likely you’ll save lives — and money.
