BeatO
– India’s largest digital ecosystem for diabetes care and management –
announced the launch of its ‘Diabetes
TOTAL’ monthly subscription plan.
This is a holistic
plan that provides a person with diabetes an affordable hospitalization insurance
cover and significant savings on all their recurring medical expenses. The plan
combines this with unlimited access to BeatO’s diabetes monitoring and management
system that drives intervention through top diabetologists and other specialist
doctors. It also rewards users who comply and manage their blood glucose levels
by providing discounts on their subscription costs.
India is considered
as a global epicenter of this lifestyle-linked ailment, more than 74 million
adults are estimated to have diabetes. As per the National Diabetes and
Diabetic Retinopathy Survey by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,
diabetes prevalence in India is 11.8%. While such statistics are worrying, the
bigger worry – almost 70% of people with the ailment have uncontrolled
diabetes.
Typically, diabetics
spend around Rs 30,000 per annum only on managing diabetes- this includes
buying blood glucose strips, medication expenses, doctor consultations, lab
tests, physical examinations, and diet planning. Additionally, a
hospitalization cover is extremely important for a person with diabetes
considering the chances of future health complications. However, expensive
premiums, extensive medical tests or disqualification due to pre-existing
ailments mean a large number of people avoid buying health insurance or are not
sufficiently covered.
Considering
the current COVID-19 pandemic and the higher complication risks for people with
diabetes; not having insurance can cause a lot of stress. Additionally, hospitalization,
even from non-diabetes related complications, can incur high treatment costs. Reports
indicate that India ranks among the world’s least-insured nations, with a 20%
health insurance penetration rate. For a diabetic especially, lack of insurance
can inflate their financial burden and perhaps even mean inadequate medical
care.
Addressing the problem, BeatO presents a holistic plan-specially for
people with diabetes, which has a three-pronged approach of providing
affordable hospitalization coverage, huge savings on diabetes-related expenses,
and a detailed diabetes management program.
The plan is very affordable and easy to obtain compared to any other
solution, with monthly subscription fees starting at just Rs. 999/month. Each
member receives the following benefits:
·
Rs. 5 lakhs Hospitalization
Cover with cashless claims via a network of 7,000 plus hospitals
