This week on The SOS Show, Suchita is joined by Mr. Kapil Mehta, the founder of Secure Now, an insurance brokering firm. MHCA 2017 has put physical and mental health as equally important. IRDAI has directed mental health insurance companies to include mental illnesses in their repertoire.But we are still very far from there.Some of the important pointers we talk:Lack of implementation of MHCA 2017How do insurance companies define Mental IllnessesHow many insurance companies have included mental healthWhat is included in the insurance- as OPD plays an important part.What is the amount of insurancewhy are insurance companies hesitant in the following suitWhy aren't caregivers included in this?Challenges and loopholes and how can we overcome them.How can you get mental health insurance!The great takeaway is to make data on Mental illnesses transparent and easily available so their understanding of mental illnesses makes the insurance more applicable.
