How do I check my National Insurance claim status?

Use the claim status page on nicportal.nic.co.in, the NIMA (National Insurance Mobile Application) or the helpline 1800 345 0330. These are National Insurance's own channels, taken from its website.

What do I need to check my National Insurance claim status?

Keep your claim or intimation number and your policy number ready. The patient's name and date of birth, as on the policy, also help.

How long can National Insurance take to settle my claim?

IRDAI's limits apply to every insurer. A cashless request must be decided within one hour and final discharge authorised within three hours. A reimbursement claim must be settled within 15 days of submission, or the insurer pays interest at bank rate plus 2%.

What does query raised mean on my claim?

The insurer or TPA wants more information or a document before it decides. Send exactly what the query asks for, in writing, and keep proof of the date. IRDAI's 2024 master circular says no claim shall be rejected or closed for want of documents or for delayed intimation.

Is superclaim part of National Insurance?

No. superclaim is not National Insurance and cannot see or change your claim. For your claim status, use National Insurance's official channels. A person at superclaim can explain a status or a query letter if you send it on WhatsApp.

How to check it, step by step

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.
Open the official claim status page. Go to National Insurance's own claim status page at nicportal.nic.co.in/nicportal/online/trackclaim. Check the address before you type anything.
Enter what it asks for. Enter the claim details the page asks for, exactly as they appear on your letters.
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.

What each status means

IntimatedThe insurer or its TPA has logged the claim and given it a number.
Under processThe claim is being read: the hospital's cashless request, or your reimbursement file.1 hour for the insurer to decide on a cashless request
Query raisedThe insurer or TPA wants more information or a document before it decides.
Approved or settledCashless: an amount is authorised. Reimbursement: the insurer has paid, or is paying, the amount shown.3 hours for final authorisation at discharge, after the hospital asks15 days to settle a reimbursement claim, from when you submit it
Rejected or partly settledThe insurer is paying nothing, or less than you claimed.14 days for the insurer to resolve your written complaint

The words on your tracker may differ; the stage is the same.
Status	What it means	What to do
Intimated	The insurer or its TPA has logged the claim and given it a number.	Note the claim or intimation number. Every follow-up needs it.
Under process	The claim is being read: the hospital's cashless request, or your reimbursement file.	For cashless, ask the hospital desk what time it sent the request. The clock runs from receipt.
Query raised	The insurer or TPA wants more information or a document before it decides.	Read the query letter, send exactly what it asks for in writing, and keep proof of the date you sent it.
Approved or settled	Cashless: an amount is authorised. Reimbursement: the insurer has paid, or is paying, the amount shown.	Check the amount against your bill. Any cut must name the policy term behind it.
Rejected or partly settled	The insurer is paying nothing, or less than you claimed.	Ask for the specific policy clause relied on, then write to the insurer's grievance officer.

The IRDAI time limits

These limits come from IRDAI and apply to every insurer, National Insurance included. Your policy wording may show older timelines; the 2024 master circulars are the current IRDAI position.

What National Insurance's own pages say

Telling the insurer about a stay. National Mediclaim Policy page, claim procedure: Reimbursement: written intimation to the TPA or company within 72 hours of an emergency admission, or 72 hours before a planned admission. (The cashless section of the same page says 24 hours for emergency admissions.) From nationalinsurance.nic.co.in/products/all-products/health/nat..., checked 28 Sep 2026
Sending reimbursement documents. National Mediclaim Policy page, claim procedure: Original documents to the TPA or office within 15 days of discharge; post-hospitalisation documents within 15 days after that treatment ends. From nationalinsurance.nic.co.in/products/all-products/health/nat..., checked 28 Sep 2026
Documents it lists. National Mediclaim Policy page, documents required (originals): claim form Part A and Part B, original bills and payment receipts, discharge summary, pharmacy cash memos with prescriptions, test reports with the prescriptions for them, the treating practitioner's certificate of the illness, surgeon's certificate with bills, any other document the company or TPA asks for From nationalinsurance.nic.co.in/products/all-products/health/nat..., checked 28 Sep 2026

The same page gives 24 hours for an emergency admission in its cashless section. Check your policy wording; if unsure, tell the TPA or office within 24 hours.

These are from National Insurance's website. Your policy wording sets your deadline; if the two differ, follow the shorter one.

If the claim is stuck, cut or rejected

Write to the insurer's grievance officer with your policy and claim numbers. The insurer must resolve it within 14 days.
Register it on IRDAI's Bima Bharosa portal at bimabharosa.irdai.gov.in if you want it tracked. This step is optional.
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.

How superclaim helps

Send us the status, the query letter or the settlement letter on WhatsApp. A person reads it, explains it in plain words, and tells you what the insurer is asking for and what to send back. We do not replace the insurer's channels, and we never ask for an OTP, card or bank details.
