Will Health Insurance Policy holders get treated in Medicity


Ambitious Medicity Project of Dr Naresh Trehan (Escorts Heart Centre fame)is taking shape in Gurgaon.Dr Trehan plans to use the combination of Allopathy, Ayurveda, Homeopathy and Chinese Medicine to treat the patients.
As health insurance policies of most of the Insurance companies in India cover Allopathy treatment only and do not cover the other 3 systems of treatment,therefore we feel patients wishing to undergo treatment through alternative systems will be put to lot of inconvenience.
Cashless payment will become a cause for irritation and frustration as it will be difficult to quantify what % of the package cost can be attributed to Ayurveda form of treatment.
This is the right time that insurance companies should include Ayurveda, Homeopathy,Chinese System,Naturopathy, in the inclusion list and introduce new products.
