In mental health, first is counselling support, and not necessarily hospitalisation: CEO Mayank Bathwal
Aditya Birla Health Insurance is offering customers mental health support in terms of counselling and consultation, apart from hospitalisation expenses, under its new comprehensive health insurance policy.
The move comes after the insurer’s experience with a mental health helpline for customers during the Covid-19 lockdown that registered a lot of interest and calls.
“Mental stress levels had gone up during the Covid-19 lockdown. People were at home, income levels in some cases were impacted, or just the pressure of dealing with so many things. So we started a mental helpline for our consumers free of cost. We were expecting not too many people to call because normally there is this taboo around that. But we were positively surprised that so many customers of ours actually use that facility,” said Mayank Bathwal, CEO,

The exclusion of PEDs becomes a pain-point for many who would want a comprehensive coverage from day one.

Tax sops for home insurance also on industry wish-list
A greater push to health insurance, reduction in Goods and Services Tax (GST), and a separate deduction for home insurance top the wish list of the general insurers in the upcoming Budget 2021-22.
There are also expectations of broader healthcare reforms that can augur well for the health insurance segment, which has been in the limelight, thanks to increased awareness driven by Covid.
According to Mayank Bathwal, CEO, Aditya Birla Health Insurance, health insurance was growing even before the pandemic. However, the pandemic has reinforced the essential nature of having a safety net for healthcare costs. In this situation, it is necessary to have health insurance as every family today faces questions on their preparedness coping with unforeseen and emergency healthcare costs, he said.
