Step-by-Step Rohini Registration Process for Hospitals in India | I&D Hospital Solution

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.
