Insured India

Greetings from Insured India. I'm Lakshya Sharma, and my mission is to demystify the intricacies of health technology and insurance, helping you understand the forces shaping our well-being and financial futures. Today, I want to explore a concept that holds immense potential to reshape the landscape of Indian health insurance: the integration of global wellness incentives. Imagine a world where your conscious efforts towards a healthier lifestyle directly translate into tangible savings on your health insurance premiums. This isn't science fiction; it's a model already gaining traction globally, and it presents a compelling vision for India. Our traditional insurance frameworks, while essential, often feel reactive, responding to illness rather than proactively encouraging health. But what if we could shift this paradigm? What if your daily steps, your healthy food choices, and your preventive screenings weren't just good for you, but also rewarded financially? T...

The global landscape increasingly emphasizes mental health parity, advocating for mental health conditions to receive equitable insurance coverage and access to services, mirroring physical illnesses. In India, significant strides have been made, yet the comprehensive integration and accessibility of mental healthcare continue to evolve. A fundamental aspect of this ongoing evolution is understanding mental health parity – the principle asserting that mental health conditions warrant equivalent treatment to physical health conditions in terms of insurance coverage and access to services. As nations globally strengthen their commitments to mental health equity, India faces a pertinent consideration: What role might international mental health parity mandates play in reshaping our policy inclusions and the wider landscape of mental healthcare access? At Insured India, we closely monitor these intricate developments, recognizing their profound potential impact on public health and p...

Greetings, fellow enthusiasts of health innovation and robust planning. Lakshya Sharma here, from Insured India. Today, I want us to consider a paradigm shift that could fundamentally redefine how health plans in India address one of our most pressing challenges: chronic diseases. We're moving beyond the traditional reactive model to explore the potential of Global Chronic Care Management (GCCM) – a proactive, continuous, and potentially transformative approach. For too long, our healthcare system and, by extension, our health insurance products, have been predominantly geared towards acute episodes – sudden illnesses, accidents, or scheduled surgeries. But the health landscape is evolving rapidly, presenting us with a new reality dominated by long-term conditions. It’s time to ask: are we ready to extend our care beyond hospital walls, and could a global approach be the key?

Here at Insured India, we're constantly watching how healthcare in our country is evolving. It's clear that technology is driving huge changes, and people are rightly demanding medical services that are easier to access, more efficient, and affordable. As a health technical expert, I spend my days connecting the dots between new medical practices and the financial systems – especially health insurance claims – that support them. One of the biggest shifts we’re seeing? The rise of telehealth, and more importantly, global telehealth , and its game-changing impact on how we manage claims. For a long time, getting a specialized medical opinion, particularly for complex or rare conditions, meant a lot of difficult travel, high costs, and frustrating waiting times. Telehealth started breaking down these barriers, creating a virtual link between patients and doctors. Now, with global telehealth, we’re tapping into an incredible pool of expertise from around the world. This means b...

As the resident Health Technical expert at Insured India, my work involves dissecting the intricate layers of health coverage and its profound impact on individuals and families across our nation. Often, when we speak of health insurance, the immediate thought gravitates towards the formidable expenses of hospitalization – a critical component, undoubtedly. However, to confine health insurance to just hospital bills is to miss a much broader, more strategic truth about financial resilience and holistic well-being in India today. This deep dive aims to demystify why comprehensive health insurance is not merely a financial product but an essential safeguard for every Indian, encompassing dimensions that extend far beyond the operating theatre. It is about understanding the evolving healthcare landscape, the legal framework protecting consumers, and the strategic planning required to navigate unforeseen health challenges without succumbing to financial distress.
