IRDAI offer more disease-specific health insurance products

IRDAI Chairman Subhash Khuntia has urged health insurance providers to develop disease-specific products which could
help policy holders in preventing different ailments. "I would urge insurers to develop more disease-specific products
like for diabetics or for heart or kidney related issues," Khuntia said while speaking at a health insurance summit.
Under such focused products, insurance companies can bring together medical experts to make aware policy holders
on steps to be taken to prevent various diseases, he said. The chairman said the insurance sector, for too long, has
concentrated on tertiary care or hospitalisation and now there was a need to focus more on primary and secondary
care, the outpatient care and more on to have preventive care.
