What FHPL does

Founded in 1995, headquartered in Hyderabad, and licensed by IRDAI in 2002, the company operates across approximately 54-55 offices in 25 states and administers coverage for 9.92 million+ active members. Its customer base spans three primary segments — corporate/enterprise group health plans, individual/retail policyholders, and government health schemes — with secondary service to 26,000+ empaneled network hospitals and 26 insurance company partners including Acko, Aditya Birla Health, Bajaj General, Care Health, HDFC Ergo, ICICI Lombard, Niva Bupa, Star Health, and Tata AIG. Named enterprise clients include Nokia, ServiceNow, ValueLabs, Indeed, ADP India, Broadridge, BirlaSoft, IntelNet, Vodafone Idea, Concentrix, HDFC Bank, Synchrony Financial, and Virtusa.

The core platform delivers benefits administration, provider network management, claims processing, pre-authorization, and cashless hospitalization workflows. The technology stack includes an in-house claims auto-adjudication engine, an instant pre-authorization system ("Instant Cashless"), online hospital empanelment, and the FHPL Mobile Sparrow app on iOS and Android for e-cards, claim tracking, and network hospital search. A WhatsApp-based chatbot (IVA) handles query resolution and claim intimation. FHPL holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2022 certifications, positioning itself as the first licensed TPA certified to these standards. Operations are supported by 501-1000 employees.

FHPL's business model is a B2B managed-services model: insurers and government schemes pay FHPL a fee — typically a percentage of premium administered or a per-claim/fixed administration fee (not publicly disclosed) — for outsourced claims processing, cashless network management, pre-authorization, and member servicing. Distribution is direct via dedicated web portals for insurers, corporate HR, hospitals, retail agents, brokers, and individual policyholders, supplemented by the mobile app and WhatsApp chatbot. Geographic scope is single-country (India), with no disclosed international operations.
