Chennai, June 27 : Two decades after opening up the insurance sector in India on the promise of innovative products, industry officials complain on lack of data for domiciliary hospitalisation cover suggested by their sectoral regulator. The Indian insurance regulator IRDAI has allowed non-life insurers to offer homecare/domiciliary treatment or treatment at home as an add on cover afresh or to their existing policies.
In a circular to all non-life insurers including standalone health insurers, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has said companies have to file their products with it, if home treatment is offered as an add-on cover.
