The challenges before Ayushman Bharat Scheme

Live Mint  

The Ayushman Bharat National Health Protection Mission will be launched later this year. The cover includes many items typically excluded in standard mediclaim: pre-existing diseases, mental health conditions, food and internal congenital diseases, among others. If this scheme were to be rated in the annual Mint SecureNow Mediclaim Ratings of health insurance products it would likely score an ‘A’. The Central Government Health Scheme rates for this in Delhi are above ₹ 1.1 lakh and private hospitals routinely charge above ₹ 3 lakh. Their chief focus will be to have patients’ claims paid and they have less incentive to solve the problems of hospitals or insurers.
