The Association of Healthcare Providers of India (AHPI) on Thursday said it held discussions with Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company to address mounting concerns of member hospitals following its recent advisory to suspend cashless services for the insurer's policyholders.

The association's core committee members and senior Bajaj Allianz representatives discussed several unresolved issues that are placing hospitals under "severe financial and operational stress," AHPI said in a statement.

On Monday, AHPI had advised its over 15,000 member hospitals to suspend cashless treatment for Bajaj Allianz and Care Health policyholders in North India from September 1.

The move, AHPI said, was prompted by complaints over low reimbursement rates, unilateral payment deductions, delays in claim settlements, and extended approval timelines for pre-authorisation and discharge requests.
