What reimbursers look for

Employers and insurers check that treatment happened, who it was for, what it cost and that it was paid. Itemized bills and a doctor’s prescription are the norm.

Fields to include

  • Patient name and age: As on the policy or employee record.
  • Hospital / clinic / pharmacy details: Name, address and registration or licence number where applicable.
  • Date(s) of treatment or purchase: Dates of service.
  • Itemized charges: Consultation, tests, medicines, room and procedures.
  • Total and payment mode: Amount paid and how.
  • Prescription and reports: Attach the doctor’s prescription and test reports.

Keep originals

Insurers usually require original bills, discharge summaries and receipts. A generated receipt is only for re-creating a lost copy of a real payment, where the provider allows it. Never alter or invent medical bills.

Practical tips

Submit claims within the policy’s time limit, keep digital copies, and match names exactly with your insurance card.
