KSS Healthcare helps hospitals identify and pursue relevant empanelment opportunities with insurance companies, TPAs, corporates and government healthcare schemes.
How an empanelment runs
Six stages, in order. How long it takes depends on the organisation you are applying to. We tell you what is realistic at the first conversation, not at the end.
- 01
Consultation
We look at your bed strength, specialities, location and existing panels, then shortlist the empanelments actually worth pursuing.
- 02
Documentation
Registrations, licences, staff credentials, infrastructure proofs and rate lists, assembled and checked against each application's requirements.
- 03
Application
Filing with the insurer, TPA, government scheme or corporate, in the format and channel that body expects.
- 04
Coordination
Follow-up with the concerned desk, answering queries and supplying whatever else the file needs.
- 05
Inspection
Preparing your team for the site verification and coordinating the visit with the assessing organisation.
- 06
Onboarding
Once empanelment comes through: network listing, rate and process briefing for your billing desk, and ongoing coordination.
What a file typically needs
The exact list depends on which organisation you are applying to, but most applications are built from the same core documents. We confirm the precise requirements during the documentation stage.
- Hospital registration certificate
- Fire safety no-objection certificate
- Biomedical waste management consent
- Staff credentials and registration proofs
- Bed census and department-wise capacity
- Tariff or rate list for the panel applied to
- NABH or state accreditation certificate, where held
- Bank account and PAN / GST details for billing
What can your hospital apply for?
Answer three questions and see the panels a facility of your shape is typically eligible to apply for. No form, no wait.
Indicative only. Each organisation sets its own criteria and revises them. Treat this as a starting point for a conversation, not an eligibility ruling.
Typically eligible to apply for
8
Private health insurers
Open to every facility type, and usually the fastest first panel.
TPA networks
Cashless listing across administrators. The volume driver behind most panels.
Public sector insurers
New India, National, Oriental and United India generally look for inpatient capacity.
CGHS
Empanels hospitals and diagnostic facilities alike.
ECHS
Ex-servicemen scheme, weighted towards inpatient facilities.
Ayushman Bharat / PM-JAY
Needs genuine inpatient capacity, and brings sustained volume where it lands.
Corporate tie-ups
Direct agreements with employers near you, outside the insurance route.
NABH accreditation
Several panels weight accreditation heavily, and some require it outright.
