Understanding the Rohini Registration process step by step is essential for any hospital administrator managing the insurance empanelment journey. Many hospitals have all the right documents but still face delays because they don’t follow the correct sequence of steps.
This article walks you through the entire Rohini Registration process – from preparation to final code issuance – so you know exactly what to expect and what to do at each stage.
Step 1 – Gather All Required Documents
Before doing anything else, compile your complete document set as per the checklist (see Article 2 of this series). Do not begin the application until every document is ready. A partial submission wastes everyone’s time and restarts your waiting period.
Checklist tip: Create a spreadsheet with every document listed, its current status (ready/pending/expired), and the responsible person for obtaining it.
Step 2 – Identify the Correct TPA or Agency for Submission
Rohini Registration can be initiated through:
- Directly through a TPA during empanelment (most common route)
- Through an insurance company you are empanelling with
- Through a professional medical consultancy that manages submissions on your behalf
Identify which route applies to your situation. If you are applying for multiple TPA empanelments simultaneously, a consultancy managing all submissions centrally is the most efficient approach.
Step 3 – Fill the Hospital Provider Registration Form
The provider registration form requires detailed information about:
- Hospital name, address, contact details
- Type of facility (hospital, nursing home, day care centre, etc.)
- Ownership type (proprietorship, partnership, company, trust)
- Bed strength and breakdown
- Specialties and services offered
- Banking details for claim settlements
- Key contact person details (administrator, billing manager)
Important: Fill this form with absolute accuracy. Any mismatch between the form and your submitted documents will result in queries and delays.
Step 4 – Submit Application with Complete Documents
Submit the completed form along with all supporting documents to the TPA or designated agency. Keep copies of everything you submit – both physical and digital.
If submitting online through a TPA portal:
- Upload documents in the specified format (usually PDF)
- Keep file sizes within the portal’s limits
- Note your application reference number immediately after submission
Step 5 – Application Review and Query Resolution
The TPA or registration agency will review your application. This typically takes 7–15 working days for an initial review. You may receive:
- Queries – requests for additional information or clarification
- Document deficiency notices – requests for missing or updated documents
- Inspection scheduling – request for a physical site visit
Respond to all queries within 48 hours. Delayed responses reset your timeline significantly.
Step 6 – Physical Site Inspection
Most TPAs conduct a physical inspection of your hospital before completing Rohini Registration. The inspection team typically verifies:
- Facility as described in the floor plan
- Bed strength and room categories
- Equipment list
- Staff presence and duty roster
- Cleanliness and safety compliance
- Biomedical waste management systems
Prepare your team for inspection day – ensure key staff are present, all areas are accessible, and documents are available for on‑site verification.
Step 7 – Empanelment Committee Approval
After a successful inspection, your application goes to the TPA’s empanelment committee for final approval. This stage typically takes 7–15 working days.
During this stage, no action is required from your end unless the committee raises additional queries.
Step 8 – Rohini Code Issuance and Empanelment Letter
Upon approval, you receive:
- Rohini Provider Code – your unique hospital identifier in the insurance system
- Empanelment Letter – officially confirming your hospital’s inclusion in the network
- Rate Agreement – listing the agreed package rates for common procedures
Once you receive these, your hospital is live on the cashless insurance network.
Step 9 – Staff Training and Go‑Live
Before your first cashless patient arrives, ensure your billing and admission team is trained on:
- How to verify patient insurance cards
- How to initiate pre‑authorisation requests
- How to submit claims and supporting documents
- How to handle query responses from TPAs
- Discharge summary formats acceptable to TPAs
How NABH Accreditation Helps the Process
Hospitals with NABH Entry Level or Full Accreditation typically sail through Rohini Registration with fewer queries and faster inspection clearance because the accreditation process already enforces the documentation and compliance standards that TPAs look for.
