All the general and health insurance companies (insurers) were mandated to offer Individual Covid Standard Health product, Corona Kavach Policy. Insurers are hereby allowed to offer Corona Kavach Policy as group product by duly complying with the norms specified.
In view of increase in number of COVID-19 cases, in order to leverage on the extant healthcare systems put in place, it is important to recognise the make-shift or temporary hospitals permitted by Government for settlement of health insurance claims for insurance companies.
Insurance companies will provide a 5% discount in premium of Corona Kavach to doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers, in terms of the guidelines issued by IRDAI.
Attention is drawn to the provisions of regulation 31 (d) of IRDAI (Health insurance) Regulations, 2016 wherein every general and health insurance company shall endeavour to enter into agreements with adequate number of both public and private sector network providers across the geographical spread.
The Authority is aware of reports that some hospitals are not granting cashless facility for treatment of Covid-19 despite such arrangements with the insurers. It is also brought to the notice of the Authority that some of these hospitals are also demanding cash deposits from the policyholders.
