Health Insurance Cover For COVID-19

With over 30,000 dead and 6.6 lakh infected with the COVID-19, nobody is safe from the virus anymore. India has been pretty successful in containing the virus and the next fortnight or so will be crucial.

“As we know that India no longer remains immune to coronavirus and with the rising number of confirmed and suspected cases, the regulator has taken stringent steps to ensure that claims related to coronavirus are expeditiously handled,” says Prasun Sikdar, MD & CEO, Manipal Cigna Health Insurance.

The first question that comes to our mind is If I am infected by the virus and need treatment, will my existing health insurance cover me?

“A health insurance policy covers all infections and the novel coronavirus is one such infection. Coverage will be available for all indemnity products that offer hospitalisation covers,” says Mayank Bathwal, CEO, Aditya Birla Health Insurance.
