NEW DELHI: ManipalCigna Health Insurance on Friday announced the launch of ManipalCigna ProHealth Prime plan that not only covers all types of hospitalization expenses but also comes cashless OPD coverage for doctor consultation, prescribed diagnostic tests and pharmacy expenses. “It (the insurance plan) covers “Non-medical Expenses" to ensure there are zero deductions towards non-medical items during hospitalization and many more such enticing benefits," the insurer said in its statement.

This plan is on offer in three different variants – ‘ManipalCigna ProHealth Prime Protect’ for overall hospitalization expenses, ‘ManipalCigna ProHealth Prime Advantage’ provides cashless OPD coverage in addition to the hospitalization expenses and ‘ManipalCigna ProHealth Prime Active’ for lives suffering from pre-existing medical conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, asthma, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Some of the features of the plan include zero deductions towards non-medical expenses, paid OPD and unlimited restoration up to 100% of sum insured, which is applicable from second claim onwards. “In India, out-patient department expenses which includes doctor consultations, lab tests and pharmacy expenses accounts for nearly 62% of healthcare costs, not only that, non-medical expenses amount to around 10% to 12% of the overall hospitalization bills that are paid as out of pocket," said Prasun Sikdar, Managing Director and CEO, ManipalCigna Health Insurance Company Limited.

Policyholders will also have the option to switch off their health insurance from second year for up to 30 days while travelling abroad and get a discount on renewal premium.

COVID-19 vaccine rules, equalization ‘derailed’ support for Kenney: Smith
Jason Kenney‘s imposition of COVID-19 vaccine mandate and other public health measures, along with the province’s desire for equalization changes, are what “derailed” his leadership, suggests leadership rival Danielle Smith.In an interview with The West Block’s Mercedes Stephenson, Smith said Kenney’s decisions to put in place public health measures as COVID-19 spiked were a miscalculation that led younger voters who normally vote conservative to draw “a line in the sand.”“That brought out a lot of mums and dads in their 30s and 40s who said, ‘We’ve got to do something different here.’ And I think the premier maybe miscalculated when he brought in vaccine passports after saying he wasn’t going to,” Smith said.She added she believes many Albertans feel he also hasn’t taken the referendum to push for changes to the equalization formula seriously enough. Alberta Premier Jason Kenney intends to step down as UCP leader after narrow leadership win When asked about Kenney’s decision to bring in vaccine mandates, which public health experts had recommended at the time, she claimed: “We saw very early on the vaccination wears off” and that people “could still get and transmit, get very sick even if you were vaccinated.”That is inaccurate.The variant currently circulating is Omicron, and a subvariant of that known as BA.2.
