Making Preventive Care More Accessible– Bajaj Finserv Health and Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Team Up for a New Launch

Healthcare, among the top priorities in life, is often sidelined until a serious situation arises. When in truth, health requires actively investing in and committing to both wellness and illness care. However, most people only consult a doctor or schedule a lab test when an illness crops up, disregarding preventive care altogether. This approach only complicates things further as the cost for immediate care is usually borne out of pocket. 

These costs amount to around 62% of total healthcare costs in the country, pointing to a serious problem that demands a better solution. Now you can address your health more proactively with health insurance policies offered by Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company (BAGIC). The insurance products offered by one of the leading private general insurers of India now have holistic medical coverage thanks to the tie-up with Bajaj Finserv Health Ltd. Combining forces and leveraging the extensive network of more than 2,500 lab chains and 90,000 doctors, these plans offer a range of preventive healthcare perks designed to meet your healthcare needs with ease.

Preventive Healthcare – A healthcare component that deserves the spotlight  

The old adage that prevention is always better than cure is a fact proven through preventive healthcare. Multiple diseases and subsequent comorbidities can be treated, and in some cases avoided, with early detection through screening. Preventive care is oftentimes the first and most effective line of defense. It is invaluable for overall wellbeing and has proven to ease the burden of healthcare costs. Treating early symptoms of potentially chronic or long-lasting illness is always more affordable and less stressful.
