APOLLO CLINIC AND HDFC ERGO COLLABORATE TO OFFER CUSTOMERS A HEALTHY AND SECURE FUTURE
– HDFC ERGO’s Health insurance policies will be offered through Apollo Clinic’s vast network of 140+ clinics
Mumbai, 4th June, 2020: HDFC ERGO General Insurance Company, India’s third largest non-life insurance provider in the private sector, and Apollo Clinic, India’s leading multi-specialty clinics by Apollo Health and Lifestyle (AHLL), announced their corporate agency tie-up to offer insurance products to customers. Taking the approach “Together Towards Tomorrow for a Healthier and Secure Future” the two companies aim to provide financial security to customers from hospitalisation and treatment expenses.
The COVID-19 pandemic has well established that a health exigency may strike anyone at any time. Unless one is covered with a comprehensive health insurance plan, hospitalization bills and treatment expenses will eat into your hard earned savings. But, according to a recent survey conducted by the National Statistical Office (NSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, majority of Indians do not have health expenditure coverage. The report stated, 14% of the rural population and 19% of the urban population said they had health expenditure coverage. Therefore, this collaboration comes as a boon to the customers, especially amidst the on-going pandemic, which has made health insurance a must-have for all.
Apollo Clinic is the only comprehensively integrated Primary Care model in India that offers customers healthcare facilities such as Specialist Consultations across 15+ specialties, Lab and imaging Diagnostics, preventive Health Checks, Vaccinations, Diabetes care, Dentistry, Audiology, Eye care & wear, Urgent Care treatment room and a Pharmacy.
