Title: To CEOs of all Life & Non-Life Insurers and Third Party Administrators
Reference No.: IIB/Cir/2014/2
Date: 12/03/2014
Releasing Ver.1.0 of Unique Hospital Id Master
Further to the launch on 04.12.2013 of the pilot version of unique hospital id master containing 29817 entries, we hereby release Ver.1.0 of the same after effecting corrections/modifications suggested and duplicates pointed out by 10 TPAs, 13 Life Insurers and 18 Non-Life Insurers. We thank all these TPAs and Insurers for their valuable feedback.
Ø Ver.1.0 contains 29292 entries.
Ø The feedback given by 168 hospitals also has been incorporated in this version.
Ø However, the additions suggested by them totaling 5464 owing to the obvious presence of some duplicates among themselves, are being de-duplicated and will be considered for addition in the Ver.2.0 to be released in due course.
Ø To enable the Insurers and TPAs to tweak their IT systems to accommodate these Unique Id No~s, this Ver.1.0 is being released today.
Ø All of them may kindly note to incorporate into their IT systems the Unique Id No~s contained in this Ver.1.0 and start filling this Id in the field viz., Txt_Hospital_Code (Data Dictionary Reference No.150062) in Health Data Claim Format L3 (Life) OR 15C (Non-Life), as the case may be.
Ø This has to be followed in letter and spirit. Only then can we derive the benefit of analyzing geography-based trends, patterns of disease occurrence, cost patterns. Then only all the hospitals are properly identified, logged and data generated on health aspects from them would be available for wider analysis and study.
Ø If any of them have already incorporated the Id~s in the pilot version, they shall overwrite them with those in this Ver.1.0.
Ø As was mentioned in the circular of ref:IIB/Cir/2013/4/Health dt.04.12.2013, it is intended to put in place a web-enabled application with adequate safeguards to pre-empt duplication and ensure uniqueness to take care of future updation of the master with new hospitals.
Ø Until then it will be undertaken by IIB in the backend and therefore in case any updation is needed, e-mail can be sent to swati.bajaj at irda dot gov dot in under CC to reddy.ksj at irda dot gov dot in
TPAs need not submit any transaction level data directly to IIB as was already informed vide circular of Ref: IIB/Cir/2013/3/Health dt. 28.06.2013. It has to be routed through the insurer concerned.
With Best Regards,
(R.Raghavan)
Chief Executive Officer
