Health insurance is one of the fastest-growing service sectors in the country. India has witnessed an overwhelming response in the health insurance sector. Getting health insurance has become a priority for Indians and making healthcare services affordable; the services offered under health insurance plans effectively ensure every individual's health. However, less than 15% of the population still opts for a health insurance policy.
The growth of the Indian health insurance industry is expected to remain a long as increased medical costs, population, and rise in lifestyle disorders are going to increase. Health insurance awareness in India is increasing but at a slow rate.
But, what challenges do Indians face when it comes to buying health insurance?
Here are some of the possible factors that are responsible for health insurance issues and challenges.
In 2008, a health insurance program ‘Rashtriya Swastha Bima Yojana’ was launched to offer healthcare coverage to citizens who are below the poverty line. Many healthcare outlets linked with this scheme conducted health insurance awareness programs across India. The IRDAI stated that the lack of health insurance awareness is one of the obstacles in the penetration of insurance across India.
More measures like Bima Bemisaal have been taken by IRDAI to create awareness about getting a health insurance plan. This awareness program by IRDAI educates the masses about the importance of health insurance.
Care Health Insurance also launched a customer awareness campaign named ‘The Moment of the Truth’ in 2019. The main agenda of this campaign was to guide the customer on how well they should use their health insurance policy.
