Verification of evidence of treatment :

** If the Trust is unable to establish the performance of the listed therapy in the first round of claims scrutiny, the Trust will be allowed to return the claim requesting for specific information from the NWH. Any such request or clarification by the Trust shall not result in additional investigations or diagnostic reports to be performed afresh by the NWH.
** The Trust shall be allowed to send a claim back to NWH for any clarifications only once before final settlement. All remarks relating to the claim ranging from non-medical to medical queries shall be consolidated before being sent back to the NWH.
** An additional time of 7 days will be allowed in case of claim is sent back to the NWH for clarification.
** The Trust issues guidelines from time to time for pre-authorisation and claims settlement which shall be followed scrupulously.
