HDFC Ergo's official channels

We list only channels we could read on HDFC Ergo's own website.

HDFC Ergo's website names the company as HDFC ERGO General Insurance Company Limited (hdfcergo.com/claim/track-health-insurance-claim, checked 28 Sep 2026).

How to check it, step by step

  1. Keep your numbers ready. Find your claim or intimation number and your policy number. The claim number comes when the claim is logged; the policy number is on your schedule and health card.
  2. Open the official claim status page. Go to HDFC Ergo's own claim status page at hdfcergo.com/claim/track-health-insurance-claim. Check the address before you type anything.
  3. Enter what it asks for. Enter the claim details the page asks for, exactly as they appear on your letters.
  4. Read the status and act on it. Match the status to the table below. If there is a query, answer it in writing and keep proof of the date.

What you need to hand

  • Claim or intimation number. Given when the claim is logged, and printed on authorisation and query letters.
  • Policy number. On your policy schedule and your health card or e-card.
  • The patient's details as on the policy. Name and date of birth, spelled the same way.

If the claim is stuck, cut or rejected

  1. Write to the insurer's grievance officer with your policy and claim numbers. The insurer must resolve it within 14 days.
  2. Register it on IRDAI's Bima Bharosa portal at bimabharosa.irdai.gov.in if you want it tracked. This step is optional.
  3. Go to the Insurance Ombudsman within one year if the insurer rejects your complaint, does not reply within a month, or replies in a way you do not accept.

The full steps are in our guide to what to do when a claim is rejected or cut.
