OPD Cover Ensures: Take OPD cover in health insurance, understand why it is needed

OPD cover ensured in India: The corona pandemic has made everyone aware about health insurance. Now everyone does not need to think much about getting health insurance for himself and his family. They have understood its importance. If you are thinking of taking health insurance, then this news can prove to be of your use.

OPD cover was not available earlier

It may be noted that earlier OPD cover was not available in most of the traditional health insurance policies. This means that if you get treatment without going to the hospital, then you will have to pay out of your pocket. This cost is too high. OPD coverage in a health insurance policy is crucial for this reason.

Understand why a such cover is necessary 

Amit Chhabra, Head of Health and Travel Insurance, PolicyBazaar, says that the importance of OPD cover can be understood from the fact that up to 70 percent of the total health care expenditure is only OPD expenses. In most diseases, the patient does not need to be hospitalized. He only has to go to the hospital after consulting a doctor and also take medicines after getting tests etc. Companies now offer OPD coverage either as part of the insurance policy or as an add-on. When purchasing a health insurance plan, confirm that OPD is covered. If the policy does not already have OPD coverage, you can purchase add-ons to include it.

Doctor consultation

Diagnostic tests 

If there is a disease, many types of tests may also have to be done. These cost a lot before the actual treatment begins. If your policy has OPD cover then you will be saved from this cost.

Drug costs 

A lot of money is spent on medicines for the treatment of diseases. The insurance company also reimburses the money at the pharmacy in the OPD cover.
