Chandigarh, September 10

If the fear of back-breaking medical bills is haunting you, INSCOL has launched a health plan. If you subscribe to “managed care”, you will not have to pay for medical expenses as these can be claimed directly by hospitals from insurance companies.

Patients availing themselves of the plan will not face usual inconvenience at the hospitals. The plan also ensures against overcharging by the hospitals and the insurance companies.

For making the scheme a success, the insurance companies, the hospitals and health maintenance organisations have, perhaps for the first time, come together to control healthcare costs.

 

As per the scheme, subscribers agree to frequent the hospitals and clinics mentioned in the policy. In return they do not have to pay the medical bills themselves as these are claimed directly by the hospitals from the insurance companies.

The concept was introduced in India two years back but could be availed only by the corporate sector. Now, INSCOL has introduced the concept in the city for individuals as well.

The members, as per the plan, will have to get themselves checked only at Inscol, but can be hospitalised at Mukat Hospital in Sector 34, Silver Oak in SAS Nagar, Kaiser in Panchkula and about 500 other hospitals all over the country, including Apollo and Escorts.

According to Managing Director Daljit Singh, the health plan is both for individuals as well as groups. The plans offer a unique combination of preventive healthcare through health check-up and free treatment cover in form of cashless hospitalisation up to a specific amount.

As an introductory offer, you can become a subscriber at reasonable rates. For Rs 1950, the subscriber would be entitled to a comprehensive health check-up worth Rs 2100 as well as free treatment cover up to Rs 50, 000 at leading hospitals nation-wide.

As such, it offers an opportunity even for lower to middle class, to become members and have free access to quality healthcare from leading hospitals in India.
