A complete walkthrough of the Go Digit health claim process.
Go Digit General Insurance is a digital-first insurer known for a simplified, largely paperless claim process; health claims run through a 24/7 helpline (1800-258-4242) and the godigit.com claim portal. This guide covers the full workflow – cashless at network and Cashless Everywhere hospitals, reimbursement, and the escalation path if a claim is delayed or contested.
Pull your policy schedule – policy number, sum insured, members covered and plan name (Digit Health Insurance – Infinity Wallet Plan) – and save the digital health card from the godigit.com portal; the hospital insurance desk asks for it at admission. Confirm chronic-condition disclosures (diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, cardiac history): voluntary disclosure via healthclaims@godigit.com is treated far better than one forced during a claim review. Network depth varies by city, so verify your preferred hospitals on the hospital locator before relying on them.
For planned admissions, call 1800-258-4242 at least 48 hours ahead with the policy number, hospital, procedure and cost estimate; the hospital insurance desk submits the pre-auth and Go Digit settles directly at discharge, with final authorisation due within 3 hours of complete documents. In an emergency the patient is admitted first and the desk files the pre-auth within 24 hours – you pay only the standard refundable hospital deposit while treatment proceeds. If pre-auth stalls past the IRDAI SLA, call the helpline with the pre-auth reference and ask for a priority review.
Under IRDAI's Cashless Everywhere mandate (January 2024), Go Digit processes cashless treatment at any hospital registered under the Clinical Establishments Act. Call 1800-258-4242 before you admit – at least 48 hours ahead for planned treatment, within 48 hours of admission in an emergency – and Go Digit issues a guarantee of payment to the hospital once the pre-auth is approved. Settlement at discharge works like a network claim, and later claims at the same hospital typically run faster.
Paid out of pocket, or cashless was denied at the counter? File online via the godigit.com claim portal, by post to the Go Digit claims processing centre, or at a branch – within the filing window on your policy schedule and with the full document set below. Go Digit must decide the claim within 30 days of receiving complete documents.
Once a claim is registered, Go Digit General Insurance Ltd. gives it a claim or intimation number, and that number is what every status channel asks for. Keep it with the policy number and track the claim on the Digit claims portal, or call 1800-258-4242. A cashless request usually moves within hours; a reimbursement claim is measured in days, and the insurer has 15 days from the last document to decide, or 45 where it orders an investigation.
If the status has not moved for several days, or it reads “query raised” without anyone telling you what is missing, that is the point to stop waiting and start the escalation ladder. A query is not a rejection - it is a request for a document, and claims are lost by leaving them unanswered.
Cashless treatment only works at a hospital inside Go Digit General Insurance Ltd.’s network, so check yours before you need it rather than at admission. Search the Digit network hospital list by city and pin code, and confirm the hospital is listed for your plan - network depth varies by city, and a hospital can be in-network for one insurer and not another.
If your hospital is not on the list, you are not out of options. Under IRDAI’s Cashless Everywhere mandate (January 2024), cashless treatment can be arranged at any hospital registered under the Clinical Establishments Act, provided the insurer is told in advance - 48 hours before a planned admission, or within 48 hours of an emergency one.

The 24/7 cashless and claim helpline is 1800-258-4242. Email queries go to healthclaims@godigit.com, and the godigit.com claim portal handles claim filing, status tracking and document upload – keep your policy number and claim reference handy for the fastest response.
Per the IRDAI Master Circular 2024: cashless authorisation within 1–3 hours; final authorisation within 3 hours of complete documentation; reimbursement decided within 30 days of complete documents.
Most counter denials are reversible. Get the denial in writing, call the helpline, and ask whether the claim can be re-submitted with additional documentation from the treating doctor. If the denial is final, switch to the reimbursement track – pay the bill, keep the denial letter and file post-discharge. Full plan: Cashless Pre-Auth Denied Playbook.
The same cashless and reimbursement workflow applies across Go Digit's health plans, including the Digit Health Insurance – Infinity Wallet Plan. Plans differ in sub-limits, room-rent terms and waiting periods, not the claim process – your policy schedule is the source of truth for plan-level caps.
