We handle both cashless and reimbursement claims.

The Short Answer
Does IGI Cover Piles Surgery?
Yes. IGI Life and IGI General health policies generally cover surgical procedures — including laser hemorrhoidopexy, laser sphincterotomy, FiLaC fistula closure and pilonidal sinus laser closure — under the in-patient surgical / hospitalisation benefit of your plan. At Karachi Piles Clinic the surgery is performed on panel at Hill Park General Hospital, so your IGI hospital cover applies. Whether your case is cashless or reimbursement depends on your specific IGI plan, which we confirm during pre-authorisation.
How It Works
Using Your IGI Plan at Karachi Piles Clinic
IGI is a well-established insurer offering individual and corporate group-health cover. Most IGI health plans include a surgical and hospitalisation benefit that pays for medically necessary day-care surgery carried out in a recognised hospital — which is exactly how laser proctology surgery is delivered here.
Because Dr. Abdullah Iqbal operates on panel at Hill Park General Hospital, your admission and surgical documentation are prepared the way IGI and its third-party administrator (TPA) expect, enabling a clean cashless approval or a straightforward reimbursement.
If your IGI cover is through your employer, the request may need HR or panel-desk endorsement first. Send us your IGI card and employee details on WhatsApp and we will confirm what your plan includes and begin the pre-authorisation for you.
Tip: Get IGI pre-authorisation before your surgery date — planned admissions are far smoother to approve than unplanned ones.
The Process
IGI Pre-Authorisation, Step by Step
1
Send your IGI card
WhatsApp a photo of your IGI policy / health card, CNIC and (for group plans) employee ID, plus a short note of your symptoms.
2
Consultation & diagnosis
Dr. Abdullah Iqbal examines you, confirms diagnosis and grade, and prepares the medical justification IGI requires.
3
Pre-auth to IGI / TPA
The hospital submits the request with diagnosis, planned procedure and estimate to IGI or its TPA.
4
Approval & claim type
IGI confirms cover and whether it is cashless or reimbursement — usually within 24–72 hours.
5
Day-care surgery
You are admitted at Hill Park General Hospital, the laser procedure is done, and you are usually discharged the same day.
6
Billing / claim
Cashless: the hospital settles with IGI directly. Reimbursement: we give you the full claim-ready document set.
Know The Difference
Cashless vs Reimbursement on IGI
Cashless
Once IGI approves the pre-authorisation, the hospital bills them directly for the covered surgery. You pay only for anything outside your policy, such as a room-category upgrade or non-covered consumables. Many corporate IGI plans support cashless at panel hospitals.
Reimbursement
You settle the hospital bill and claim back from IGI with the invoice, prescription, discharge summary and surgical note. Reimbursement usually lands within 4–12 weeks. We ensure your document set is complete so nothing delays your claim.
