Overview

• AHPI rescinded its Sept. 1 advisory following a meeting with Bajaj Allianz representatives, averting an interruption to cashless treatment for policyholders.
• The talks produced a broad agreement on hospitals’ concerns, including empanelment delays, outdated reimbursement rates, unilateral deductions, and disputes over clinical decisions.
• AHPI said Bajaj Allianz committed to present formal actions by September 29, 2025, setting a timeline for measurable changes.
• The original advisory had targeted cashless services for both Bajaj Allianz and Care Health across roughly 15,000 AHPI member hospitals in North India.
• Bajaj Allianz MD and CEO Tapan Singhel welcomed the resolution and called for a strong health regulator, while medical groups pressed regulators to examine alleged insurer coordination on tariffs.
