Private sector general insurance player ICICI Lombard
General Insurance yesterday announced the launch of a first-of-its kind
cashless outpatient department health insurance plan, 'i-Health Cashless OPD'.
This new offering of ICICI Lombard will be initially available for group health insurance customers and later, will be extended to the entire retail customer base. The 'i-Health Card', provided by the insurer to its customers can be swiped at any of 75 plus OPD centres across the seven metros to avail cashless treatment. Customers can avail consultation without any charges multiple times in a year depending on the plan availed.
“The OPD segment, despite comprising 60% of healthcare expenses, faces a dearth of relevant insurance offerings. ICICI Lombard's cashless OPD is best suited to meet customer needs towards payment of OPD expenses", said Mr. Sanjay Datta, Chief-Underwriting and Claims, ICICI Lombard.
