On Monday, Narayana Health Insurance Ltd. (NHIL), a new venture by the Bengaluru-based hospital chain Narayana Health, introduced its inaugural insurance product, 'Aditi.' This plan provides extensive coverage with a sum assured of Rs 1 crore for surgeries and Rs 5 lakh for medical management at Narayana Health network hospitals.
Led by Dr. Devi Shetty, Narayana Health stated that this insurance plan is designed to improve healthcare access for the general population in India by offering comprehensive coverage at an affordable price. The 'Aditi' insurance can be obtained for an annual premium of Rs 10,000.
"We believe that working-class and low-income individuals should have the same opportunities as the wealthiest. Narayana 'ADITI' is designed to shield families from the financial strain of medical expenses, providing peace of mind during difficult times. With the launch of ADITI, we begin a transformative journey to make quality healthcare accessible to every Indian," stated Devi Shetty, chairman of Narayana Health and Narayana Health Insurance.
"India requires 70 million surgeries each year, but only 20 million are performed due to financial constraints," added Shetty.
ADITI, the pilot initiative under the NHI venture, will initially be launched in Mysuru and Bengaluru, followed by Kolkata and Delhi. ADITI will offer coverage of up to Rs 1 crore for surgeries, including heart, kidney, and lung transplants, and up to Rs 5 lakh for medical treatments.
NHI’s new plan is available to individuals aged 18 and above. For family coverage, the plan includes up to 2 adults and 4 children. Coverage outside the Narayana Health Network is limited, but emergency services can be accessed at designated networks.
"We designed ADITI to redefine health insurance as a tool for proactive healthcare rather than reactive treatment. ADITI offers a comprehensive plan that prioritizes life-saving care, eliminates hidden fees, and has no long waiting periods," said Viren Prasad Shetty, vice chairman of Narayana Hrudayalaya Ltd.
