The Association of Healthcare Providers (India) (AHPI) has withdrawn its advisory to member hospitals on stopping cashless services for policyholders of Bajaj Allianz General Insurance with immediate effect.

This came after the Pune-based insurer agreed broadly on the issues raised by the association in their meeting in Delhi on Thursday.

"AHPI is happy to withdraw the suspension notice served on Bajaj Allianz with immediate effect," the association said in a statement on Friday.

"We are pleased that the matter has been resolved in the interest of policyholders and citizens who must never face interruptions in their access to cashless healthcare," said Tapan Singhel, managing director (MD) and chief executive officer (CEO), Bajaj Allianz General Insurance.
