Covering 849 surgeries..!
Mr. Yateesh Srivastava, Chief Marketing Officer. AEGON Religare Life Insurance said , “In India, health insurance penetration is as low as 5 per cent Evolving technology in medical sciences has offered better treatments. However, it has made access to these treatments more expensive and often unaffordable for the average Indian middl class. Our customer research showed us that key concerns amongst buyers of health insurance are worries about getting the full claim amount; increase in premium in case of a claim & worries about coverage of all surgeries. Responding to the needs of customers we are bringing out the AEGON Religare iHealth Plan, a comprehensive health insurance plan covering 849 surgeries, offering a fixed-benefit with a smooth claim-settlement process.”
Mr. Srivastava, also said,“The growth of an internet consuming population, e - Commerce & the success of our first product offerings on our direct-to-customer platform - AEGON Religare iTerm Plan & AEGON Religare iMaximize Plan, gives us the confidence and belief that the online space will emerge as a significant channel of distribution in life insurance. The AEGON Religare iHealth Plan is targeted to the ‘new age’ customer who prefers a direct and convenient process while buying any financial product. The consumer is moving online and so are we. The AEGON Religare iHealth Plan is another step in creating a plethora of online product offerings for our customers.”
