Medi Assist advances access to cashless healthcare

In August 2026, Medi Assist Healthcare Services, which is India’s leading health benefits administrator, announced the latest releases of MAven Intelligent Document Processing (MAven IDP), MAgnum, and MAven Guard, expanding its AI-powered healthcare technology platform for insurers and healthcare providers. The upgrades mark a decisive step towards the company’s vision of making cashless healthcare accessible and seamless to patients.

The results are already measurable at quite a level. Medi Assist TPA, a wholly owned subsidiary, now completes more than 50% of cashless pre-authorizations in under five minutes, enabling patients to be admitted and begin treatment faster. The enhanced claims experience achieved a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 67, reflecting improvements in speed, consistency, and member satisfaction. Calls from claimants have also dropped by over 60%, indicating a smoother and more efficient claims process.

In a significant expansion, MAven IDP is also now available to insurers and healthcare providers beyond the Medi Assist Group to the broader ecosystem, multiplying its impact on cashless care across India. Together, these advancements will help move India closer to a future where cashless healthcare is seamless by design and where admission will be immediate.

With clear answers at every step, hospitals can offer cashless treatment to more patients with fewer queries and faster admissions.
• Stronger claims integrity: MAven Guard’s new release detects fraud, waste, and abuse with up to 50% greater precision, protecting the ecosystem while genuine claims move faster.
