Three Ways to Track Your Claim

Method 1 - FHPL Claim Tracker (no login needed)

This is the part most guides skip: you don't need to log in at all to check a claim.

1. Visit www.fhpl.net/#/claim_tracking
2. Select your insurance company from the dropdown (HDFC ERGO, Star Health, New India, Tata AIG, and others)
3. Enter your Claim Number or UHID
4. Enter your date of hospitalisation
5. Click Submit for real-time status

Method 2 - FHPL Sparrow App Log in to the Sparrow app → tap Claim Status on the home screen → view all active and past claims with current updates. Useful if you've misplaced your claim number, since your claim history is listed automatically. If you need help accessing your FHPL account before using Sparrow, see our guide on FHPL login. Method 3 - WhatsApp Chatbot Send "Hi" to 9154039276, then type your claim number. The bot responds instantly with the latest status. No app, no login, works 24×7 — the easiest option if you're checking repeatedly.

What Your Claim Actually Goes Through

Understanding the journey makes the status wording far less confusing:

FHPL Claim Status Meanings, Decoded

Status	What it means
Documents Received	FHPL has your paperwork and logged the claim
Under Process	Being assessed against your policy terms
Query Raised	Something is missing or unclear — action needed from you or the hospital
Approved	Claim cleared; payment is being arranged
Sent for Payment	Approved and released to the payment queue
Settled	Money has been paid out; claim closed
Repudiated / Rejected	Claim declined — the letter will state why

"Under Process" is the one that worries people most. Don't panic. It simply means assessment is underway, not that anything is wrong. It's the longest stage by design, because it's where the actual verification happens. "Sent for Payment" is good news — the decision is made and only the bank transfer remains.

How Long Does Each Status Take?

Status	Typical duration
Documents Received	Same day to 1–2 days
Under Process	Roughly 7–15 working days
Query Raised	Depends entirely on how fast you respond
Approved	Usually same day once assessment completes
Sent for Payment	Around 3–7 working days
Settled	Complete

These are indicative ranges based on typical TPA processing, not guarantees. Actual timelines vary by insurer, claim complexity, and whether any clarification is needed. Cashless approvals during admission move much faster than reimbursement claims — often within hours rather than days. If a status hasn't moved in significantly longer than the range above, that's your cue to follow up.

Why Is My FHPL Claim Delayed?

Most delays trace back to a handful of causes:

• Missing or illegible documents — the single most common reason
• Incorrect bank details submitted with a reimbursement claim
• Hospital clarification pending — FHPL has queried the hospital, not you
• Policy exclusions or waiting periods being verified against your cover
• Awaiting insurer approval on higher-value claims
• Investigation cases where additional verification is required
• Mismatch in medical records between the discharge summary and bills
• Recently issued policy requiring extra scrutiny

If your status shows Query Raised, that's not a delay — that's a request. Respond the same day if you can. Every day you wait adds directly to your settlement date. Some rejections happen for reasons that were avoidable; our guide on common claim rejection reasons covers what to watch for before you file.

Documents You'll Need

Cashless claim	Reimbursement claim
Health eCard	Original hospital bills
Photo ID (Aadhaar/PAN)	Completed claim form
Hospital admission form	Doctor's prescriptions
Doctor's notes / treatment plan	Investigation & diagnostic reports
Pre-auth request (raised by hospital)	Discharge summary
-	Payment receipts
-	Cancelled cheque / bank details

Keep photocopies of everything you submit. If a query is raised weeks later, you'll want to know exactly what already went in.

Cashless vs Reimbursement: Why the Timelines Differ

	Cashless	Reimbursement
When it happens	During hospitalisation	After discharge
Who initiates	Hospital TPA desk	You
Portal used	ePreAuth (hospital only)	Claim submission to FHPL
Typical decision	Hours	Days to weeks
You pay upfront?	No (up to approved limit)	Yes, then claim back
Common delay cause	Pre-auth queries	Missing documents

Our detailed comparison of reimbursement vs cashless claims explains which to choose when you have the option.

When Should You Contact FHPL?

Patience is warranted up to a point. Here's when to stop waiting:

Situation	Reasonable wait	Contact FHPL
Under Process	15 working days	After 20 days
Sent for Payment	7 working days	After 7 days
Query Raised	Act immediately	Same day
Claim not appearing in tracker	48 hours	After 48 hours
Settled but no money received	7 days	After 7 days
Login or OTP trouble	15 minutes	Then call

Contact details:

• Helpline: 1800-425-033 (toll-free, business hours)
• Email: info@fhpl.net
• WhatsApp: 9154039276 (24×7 chatbot)

Have your claim number ready before you call. It's the first thing you'll be asked for.

Troubleshooting: Tracker Not Working?

Issue	Likely reason	Fix
Claim not found	Wrong insurer selected	Re-check the dropdown against your policy
Invalid UHID	Typo or wrong number	Verify against your health eCard
Date mismatch error	Wrong hospitalisation date	Use the admission date, not discharge
Status unchanged for days	Still processing	Normal up to ~15 working days
Payment not received after "Settled"	Bank detail issue	Contact FHPL with your claim number
Page won't load	Browser cache	Clear cache or try the Sparrow app
Claim missing entirely	Not yet logged	Wait 48 hours after submission, then call

If Your Claim Is Rejected

A rejection isn't always final. You have escalation routes:

• Read the repudiation letter carefully — it must state the specific reason
• Gather counter-evidence if the reason appears factually wrong
• Raise a grievance with your insurer's grievance officer first
• Escalate to IRDAI through the IRDAI grievance process if unresolved
• Approach the Insurance Ombudsman as the final step — this is free and doesn't require a lawyer

Many rejections stem from waiting period rules or undisclosed pre-existing conditions rather than genuine disputes, so check those first.

Expert Tips

• Note your claim number the moment a claim is raised — every tracking method asks for it first.
• Photograph every document before submitting, including the discharge summary.
• Respond to queries the same day. This is the single biggest factor you control.
• Check the tracker weekly, not daily — status genuinely doesn't change that often.
• Verify your bank details on reimbursement claims before submission; wrong details are a common cause of "Settled but not received."
• Use the WhatsApp bot for routine checks rather than logging in each time.
• Keep your eCard downloaded so hospital admission never stalls on a login issue.

Conclusion

Checking your FHPL claim status is genuinely quick once you know you don't need a login. The tracker on FHPL's site handles most cases in under a minute with a claim number or UHID; the Sparrow app and WhatsApp bot cover the rest. The bigger win is understanding what the status labels actually mean. "Under Process" isn't a problem. "Query Raised" is the one that needs you to move fast. And if nothing has changed in three weeks, that's when a phone call is worth making.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I check my FHPL claim status online?

Visit www.fhpl.net/#/claim_tracking, select your insurer, enter your claim number or UHID plus the hospitalisation date, and submit. No login needed.

2. Can I check claim status without logging in?

Yes. The claim tracker and WhatsApp bot both work without credentials.

3. What does "Under Process" mean?

Your claim is being assessed against your policy terms. It's the normal working stage, typically lasting 7–15 working days.

4. What does "Sent for Payment" mean?

Your claim is approved and released for disbursement. Payment usually follows within about 3–7 working days.

5. How do I check a cashless claim status?

The same tracker works for both cashless and reimbursement claims. During admission, the hospital's TPA desk can also check the pre-auth status directly.

6. How do I check reimbursement claim status?

Use your claim number in the tracker. Reimbursement claims take longer than cashless because assessment happens after discharge.

7. Where do I find my claim number?

It's on your claim acknowledgement SMS or email. Your hospital's TPA desk or the FHPL helpline can also retrieve it.

8. What is a UHID and where do I find it?

Your Unique Health Identification number appears on your FHPL health eCard, and works as an alternative to the claim number.

9. My insurer is Tata AIG — can I still use the FHPL tracker?

Yes, if FHPL is the TPA administering your policy. Select your insurer from the dropdown before searching.

10. Why can't I find my claim in the tracker?

Usually the wrong insurer selected, a typo, or the claim hasn't been logged yet. Wait 48 hours after submission, then call.

11. How long does an FHPL claim take to settle?

Typically a few weeks end to end for reimbursement, though it varies by insurer and complexity. Cashless approvals during admission are far quicker.

12. My claim shows Settled but I haven't received the money.

Allow up to 7 days for the bank transfer. Beyond that, contact FHPL with your claim number — incorrect bank details are the usual culprit.

13. What if my claim is rejected?

Read the repudiation letter, raise a grievance with your insurer, then escalate to IRDAI or the Insurance Ombudsman if unresolved.

14. Can I track a claim through the Sparrow app?

Yes. Log in, tap Claim Status, and your active and past claims are listed with current updates. Disclaimer Claim timelines are indicative and vary by insurer, policy terms, and claim complexity. Portal features and URLs are based on publicly available information as of July 2026. For current details, refer to www.fhpl.net or contact FHPL customer care.
