Press Release, Jun 29, 2022, 4:40 PM IST

Bengaluru: ManipalCigna Health Insurance Company Limited, entered cashless OPD with the launch of ManipalCigna ProHealth Prime to protect people’s finances from day-to-day healthcare expenses such as doctor’s consultation fees, prescribed diagnostic tests, and pharmacy.

In India, approximately 65 percent of the total health care expenditures are out-of-pocket expenses, which are not covered by most health insurance policies in the market. Therefore, to help reduce the burden of out-of-pocket spending, ManipalCigna’s new Cashless OPD coverage under ManipalCigna ProHealth Prime gives policyholders option of Rs 20,000, Rs 30,000 or Rs 50,000 per policy year, to cover for expenses they incur on outpatient expenses, including dental, vision, physical doctor consultation fees, prescribed medicines, etc.

Speaking about the new cashless OPD coverage, Mr. Prasun Sikdar, Managing Director and CEO, ManipalCigna Health Insurance Company Limited said, “We at ManipalCigna believe in constantly innovating our product line to offer not just health insurance but a complete healthcare solution. Our new digitally enabled, unique App-based Cashless OPD proposition under ManipalCigna ProHealth Prime helps our customers reduce the burden of out-of-pocket spending at just a click of a button.”

Sikdar further added, “Today on the occasion of National Insurance Awareness Day. I would also like to encourage people to set aside some time to review their existing coverage to safeguard the financial future of their loved ones. Furthermore, if one does not have health insurance, it is vital to get a complete healthcare insurance plan that fully covers healthcare expenses both inside and outside of the hospital.”

Cashless OPD cover is especially beneficial to people with higher out-of-pocket expenses or parents with infants or young children prone to ailments that require over-the-counter medicines or get tests done quite frequently. These expenses add up to a lot but go unnoticed by most health insurance plans.

Thus people who require regular OPD consultations can benefit greatly from a health insurance plan which helps cover their OPD expenditures on a cashless basis and lets them stay fit with simplified wellness offerings.
