The objective of the company is to ensure treatment without pre-authorisation, zero rejections, and fully cashless treatment.<br \/>Speaking to TOI, Yashish Dahiya, co-founder and CEO of PB Fintech, said affordability is going to be a big challenge going forward as the cost of healthcare will rise in future due to new technologies like robotic surgery and the corporatisation of hospitals. <br \/>&#8220;The way to solve this problem is for the insurance companies to have their own partnership. Today, when a company has 14,000 network partners, it cannot control their behaviour,&#8221; said Dahiya.<br \/>Initially, the hospitals would be set up around NCR and later rolled out to other centres. PB Healthcare is attempting the model of Kaiser Permanente from the US, which operates as an integrated managed care consortium, blending the functions of a healthcare provider and an insurance company. This is similar to the approach taken by Dr. Devi Shetty&#8217;s Narayana Health Insurance. However, unlike Narayana, which issues policies on its own books, PB Healthcare will serve customers of other companies.<br \/>The PB Healthcare model would include a layer of general practitioners who would not receive any referral fee. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
