Meet medical care not covered by insurance with the Digital Health EMI Network Card

With health and fitness being important priorities in life, looking at health insurance plans to address treatment costs for a variety of ailments may seem to be a viable solution. Unfortunately, as per a report by the National Survey Office, more than 80% of Indians living in urban India lack some form of health coverage. To add to that, health insurance policies do not cover all illnesses or all treatment-related costs, leaving you to pay for unforeseen, large medical bills upfront. This is where smart offerings like the Bajaj Finserv Digital Health EMI Network Card with its pre-approved limit of up to Rs.4 lakh can prove to be of use.

Using this health card, you don't have to dip into your savings to meet costs that are not covered insurance policies. Instead, you can pay your hospital and diagnostic bills on No Cost EMI (i.e. only pay the cost of the treatment with no extra charges) and have one less thing to worry about. The Digital Health EMI Network Card covers 800+ treatments across 1000+ Indian cities at more than 5,500 partner hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centres and more.

To understand how you can use this fully digital card to bolster incomplete insurance coverage, read about 3 common health problems in India, generally not covered by health insurance, which you can get treatment for using the Bajaj Finserv Health EMI Network Card.

Cataract

Among the most common forms of visual impairment in the world, cataract is responsible for 50% to 80% of the bilaterally blind patients in India. As a matter of fact, around 96.2% of the cases of visual impairment in those above the age of 50 years could have been avoided with proper ophthalmology treatment. However, such treatments can cost between Rs.55,000 to Rs.1.2 lakh.

In such cases, you can use the Bajaj Finserv Health EMI Network Card with its pre-approved limit of up to Rs.4 lakh.

Sinusitis

As per data published by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in 2018, over 134 million Indians suffer from chronic Sinusitis. One in eight Indians develop the illness, which is caused mainly due to pollution. Sinus surgery can cost up to Rs.3.3 lakh, depending on the city you live in.

When you use the Digital Health EMI Network Card, you can split your medical bills into a total of 24 affordable No Cost EMIs. This makes it easier for you to address healthcare on a budget, without having to pay the full amount upfront.

Infertility

Infertility plagues around 14% of Indian couples, which is around 27.5 million people according to data published by Indian Society of Assisted Reproduction. The number of cases in urban India is higher, as data shows that 1 in 6 couples is likely to need treatment for it. One solution is In-vitro fertilisation (IVF), which can cost anywhere between Rs.1 lakh and Rs.2.5 lakh.
